Super Heroes, Parades, Parties & Full Pumpkins…

This Halloween was FULL. The kids are hitting the age now where they’re all into the festivities of the season. This year, we picked out our costumes early. Usually, we wait to the week of and find ourselves with slim pickings. As the stores put out the Halloween costumes, the kids started talking about them. Each time we went to the store we’d walk by the costumes and talk about them. Surprisingly enough, both my kids stuck to their initial idea for a costume. Levi wanted to be the Hulk and Shelby wanted to be Spiderman. Here are our little super heroes.
 
 


We kicked off our week long celebration with not one, but two Trunk-or-Treat events. On Sunday after Church, our church hosted a trunk or treat. There were tons of super heroes and candy galore for all the little ones. Sunday evening, the church where Levi and Shelby attend school also hosted a truck-or-treat. This was a lot of fun too. We loved seeing classmates and their teachers dressed up. By the end of the day, we had two FULL PUMPKINS. The kids picked out their favorite 10 pieces of candy, which they saved to have a little piece everyday.  Then, we put the other away to share with the spooks on Wednesday. 



National Sugar High Halloween Day was a full day. Wednesday is a school day for both kids. They were able to wear their costumes to school. Each class participated in the costume parade for all the parents.




After the parade, they returned back to their classes for a little party. Ryan and I bounced back and forth between the their classes. We enjoyed seeing them and all their friends dressed up.
Levi’s Class:
Don’t they look great!?

Levi and his good buddy, Travis.
 
Then, Levi suggested they make a pattern—Spiderman, The Hulk, Spiderman!

He’s “Hulk” face!
 
 Shelby’s Class:
Shelby and her friend, Grant.
 
Here’s most of Shelby’s class. They all looked so good.


We concluded our day by taking the kids trick-or-treating with our LifeGroup. This was the first time both kids had really been trick-or-treating. In the past, we’ve just gone to the neighbors house and then return home to hand out candy. Levi has always preferred answering the door and handing out candy. We had a lot of fun trick-or-treating with our friends and their kids. What a fun day!
