Halloween Festivities

Halloween was great. The costumes looked awesome. Pierce seemed to be better. No fever, just a little cough. We went to a friends house this year to trick-or-treat. It's the first time the kids were actually going to walk around a neighborhood. Usually we go to some sort of organized function, but this year they wanted to spend it with friends. Our friends live in a huge neighborhood in cave creek. All the neighbors decorate and set up tables for the kids. It was great. We still had a few last minute preparations to make on the costumes before we left. The picture below is the first glimpse of me in the sun costume. We had to cut the head and arm holes before we left. Keith thinks this picture is hilarious with my legs sticking out.

Elle's costume was the hit of the night. You can't tell by this picture, but she had two tap lights on the inside of her helmet that lit up. Everyone kept telling her it was the best costume they had every seen. She was excited. A teenager said it was the best costume in the history of costumes, but being only 15 that wasn't much.

Pierce didn't like his costume that much. It was hard to carry the candy bag. He rallied and made it at least an hour before he wanted to take it off and sit in the wagon. I think we all look pretty good. Most people didn't know what I was until the four of us were together. Keith was hysterical. Everyone started calling him the rocket man. He had to take little bitty steps to walk around so he was always behind us. He stayed in that costume walking around for 2 1/2 hours.

This was the group. We had a lot of fun!

About an hour in Max and Pierce sat in the wagon and ate their candy. Before we left for the night Pierce complained of a tummy ache. I guess we should have heeded the warning because about an hour after everyone went to sleep he started crying. When Keith got up there he had puked in his bed. On the way to the bathroom he puked on the floor. He was also burning up. I don't know if it was all the candy or being sick, but he had a rough night and so did we!!! Oh well, the costumes were great. Now we just have to get our pictures taken for our Christmas cards and we are done for the year. Not sure if we can top this one. I have a feeling it may be getting close to our last group Halloween. Elle really wants to go as a princess next year. We will see.
