How lucky were we to stumble across a PINK witch costume for Lauren?
I couldn't have planned it better if I had tried.
Ella, on the other hand, was a bit of challenge.
I can barely keep her clothed (which is why she is typically NOT pictured in many of our Twelve Days of Halloween photos)....I wasn't sure how I was going to convince her to wear a costume. After several stores and dozens of attempts at finding something I could bribe her to wear, our friend brought by a purple dragon costume to see what Ella thought of it.
It was DESTINY.
Ella has worn the costume everyday since whether she needed to or not.
We did some Trunk-or-Treating this year at our church. In the RAIN.
That would be SEATTLE RAIN for our Utah friends who thought they got rained on as well.
In true Seattle fashion, it didn't slow anyone down.
Not even me because I had my MONSTER TRUCK to keep me company.
Donuts, cider, and hot chocolate are traditions at the Trunk-or-Treat.
And yes, that donut was bigger than Lauren's head.
OH! And in keeping with the rest of the tradition, our guest list today included a GARGOYLE friend...
...or at least six of his tongues.
Hope your Halloween was delightfully exhausting too!

Your monster truck rocks!
I have loved reading your blog this last week or so! So much fun- It makes me wish I had a little more time and creativity to do the same at my house! Your monster truck is pretty sweet too! I may have to do that for our trunk-or-treat next year.
And I liked your comment about Seattle rain... I think Seattle rain is more like the sky spitting on everyone- all the time. :) You just have to get used to it, or you'd never get anything done! But I sure do miss the pretty green that everything is up there!
Good luck with the post Halloween recovery!

It has been a "blast" for "Grandpa" and me to read your Twelve Days of Halloween! Each night before we went to bed we checked your blog to see what you had done for that day! Your blog became our bedtime story each night! Thanks for such wonderful stories and pictures! We love you!
P.S. That last picture of the exhausted dinosaur was darling! I believe "they" call it the "Halloween Glazed Look".
I LOVE your monster truck! You are so creative! Your girls look so cute in their costumes. :) Also, I loved reading all of the Halloween meals and treats. You have inspired me to do something like that when Tyler gets a tad older- like next year! :)
Awesome monster truck! I am so amazed at your Halloween spirit. Could you please send me some of it next year? Happy Halloween!
