Halloween 2011 (part 2)

 Sunday night our church held their annual Trunk or Treat. Let me just say, any extra activities (especially church ones where we help out lots) is chaos with 3 kids. Those with 4 or more kids I have no clue how you do it. I feel like we are the perfect example of a chaotic family that has no control over their kids. So with that said, I had very little enjoyment during this, since I was paranoid about where my kids where at all times. Every year we about have one of our children run over by a car trying to park for trunk or treat. They are always so excited to see friends and family that they dart across the parking lot and almost get hit. This year thankfully we didn't have that happen and the kids all seemed to have a good time.

 Baby A was so excited about getting candy. She is the youngest kid I know of that took .5 seconds to realize what candy was. She was so MAD that she couldn't have ALL the candy. After every trunk she would want to sit down and eat what she just got. Well that wasn't going to happen and when I told her no or come on she threw a HUGE fit. Even caving in and giving her one sucker didn't help... she only wanted more and more.

So into the Babyhawk she went and I wore her around from trunk to trunk and hid every single piece of candy out of her site.

 Sweet little Levi came dressed up as a packet of Ketchup. He looked all cozy warm in it too.

Here are my two trick or treating pros. Scooter wasn't such a fan of his Alien costume since he couldn't see very well out of it and it was a bit bulky for him. 

Rascal wore his mask half of the time but said it tickled his face. Why do I stress out over costumes every year just for them not to wear the whole outfit?? 

 

We did let the kids get their faces painted . Scooter wanted a dragon and I dreaded getting this off his face. Thankfully it came off much easier than his beard did, the day he was a pirate. 

 Rascal wanted a tiger at first but then saw a picture of this dinosaur and changed his mind. I must admit it was the cutest face painting I had ever seen. When Rascal opened his mouth it looked like the Dinosaur opened his mouth too.

While I was over with the boys getting their faces painted Tim heard over the speaker that Scooter was one of the winners of the $50 Toys R Us gift cards. He was one excited Dragon. :)

We then all sat down for a yummy hot dog and chips and tried to warm ourselves up. The boys always have such a wonderful time at our church's trunk or treat and we always come home loaded with tons of candy.
Now I only hope that next year will be a tiny bit easier than this year was. Maybe I ought to dress one of them up like a dog so I can put a leash on them......totally kidding!
