Halloween seemed a little crazy this year. There was just so much going on the last couple of weeks that Halloween kind of took me by surprise. We didn't even figure out what our costumes were going to be until two nights before Halloween (with the exception of Mike). Mike's work did a really elaborate Halloween party and each team had to choose a theme. Mike's was Willy Wonka, and so he was Willy Wonka. I thought it would be fubn if the boys were oompa loompas, and I was able to talk Simy and Misha into being oompa loompas. They were adorable. Allen wanted to be Anakin Skywalker again (that was his costume last year) up until two nights before Halloween when he suddenly decided he wanted to be Obi Wan Kenobe. We ended up using his Anakin costume and spray painting an old man wig and beard of Mike's black. It looked really cute. We had fun at the work party on Friday, but it took us a while to get ready. I hadn't quite finished putting the oompa loompa costumes together (as I said I started on Thursday night), so I had to safety pin Simeon into his on Friday. Saturday we started by making the rounds to a few friends who wanted to see the kids. Then we went to the ward trunk-or-treat. Finally we went to trick-or-treat for a while at Grandma's. By the time we got there though, Misha was crying with a tummy ache (who knows how much candy he snuck?), Simeon had tear streaks down his makeup because he was upset that his wig was in his face, and Allen had decided that he had enough candy and didn't really want to trick-or-treat. So, it ended up being Benjamin and Simeon trick-or-treating to a few houses and then calling it a night. All in all though, I think everyone had fun. Anyway, enough words, here are the pictures.
