This year was a fun year for Halloween. The boys picked some interesting costumes and Livvy was old enough to kinda know what was going on. She also had her big brothers to show her the ropes.
So this fall Thomas really got into the Titanic. He really likes reading the "I Survived…" books and after he read "I Survived the Sinking of the Titanic" thats all he wanted learn about. So when we asked him what he wanted to be he said the Titanic I had no idea what to do and was going to tell him to think of something else.
Eric has a pretty creative mind and said he would be able to make it for him and had an idea. He and Thomas made the boat out of cardboard. It took a few weeks to make and paint, but it turned out really nice! Thomas was pretty impressed and so was everyone else! Phillip was pretty funny he wanted to be the boo berry ghost. Yes the cereal that comes out every Halloween. So I went with a blue fabric and actually found this fun little hat at the party store. Olivia I went with a little witch costume. It was fun to make a little girls costume : ) I was able to find a witch hat headband, which was perfect for her!
Thomas by far got the most comments when we were out trick or treating. There were a lot of people who had their spouse come to the door just to see. He did have some trouble getting around tight spots but for the most part he was pretty proud of all the comments he got. I would have been fun to enroll him in a costume contest ; )
It was so nice to have Daddy come a long this year! We were out for a couple of hours and all the kids made out really well. Livvy was a pro after the first house and realized she got candy after knocking at the door. She really didn't need any assistance at all and was not all a bit shy to go up to the door. She loved it when they thought she was just so cute and let her take 2 handfuls of candy instead of one ; )
