Another fun year of making costumes. The kids finally made their decisions and I was surprised at what they all chose to be.
Salesi was determined to be a bag of jelly beans. He never strayed with his choice. Simple enough. He was happy about it after putting it on, saying, "I'm not Salesi, I'm a jelly bean!" His costume also only lasted until we reached our trick or treating destination. By then he had yanked and pulled on the bag that it opened on the bottom and all the balloons came out. Bye bye jelly beans.
Jeremy was Baby Eggs from the movie , 'The Boxtrolls'. His costume didn't even make it onto his body. He wouldn't keep it on with all the business around us. Easy fix, we put it on Salesi.
Ke'ala was the character Shoes from the Boxtrolls movie , Sesi- Michael Jackson and Leva was Jack Frost.
I couldn't find a printout for Shoes anywhere online so Jesse drew it for me. Thank goodness for his artistic capabilities.
A couple of RS sisters from our ward told us about a trick or treating spot near their neighborhood on the Island and we decided to check it out. It was definitely the place to be on Halloween. There were Halloween go-carts galore, houses were passing out water and juice with candies for the kids. One house had Italian ice instead of candy. Sweet! Some even offered alcoholic "treats" for the parents but of course I declined. If they had a Dr Pepper I woulda got crunk. Great weather, good company, happy kids made for another successful Halloween.
