HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

Tonight our ward had its annual Trunk-or-Treat party so we got the kids all decked out in their matcher-costumes and headed for the good stuff.

I wanted the kids to be themed this year because I think it's really cute when families, er, siblings match (let's face it, I don't dress up! But I did try to talk Jon into dressing up like "Doc."), so when Lucy said she wanted to be Snow White I immediately thought that Zachy should be Dopey.


We recruited Jon's mom to do all the sewing and creating of the costume--which she did totally by hand, without a pattern, and without even measuring Zachy, and it fit perfectly. The kid was a HIT!!! Everybody LOVED him!! So thanks go to Grandma Cardon for the superb costume.


Lucy trying to recreate the movie moment where Snow White kisses Dopey on his bald little head, but Zachy definitely NOT wanting to cooperate.

A glamour shot of the princess who FINALLY was allowed to wear makeup!!:)

The Cub Scouts were in charge of the activity and they started the festivities off with a pretty awesome dinner of cheese puffs and chili-dogs (belch!), excuse me!, and then had carnival games for the kids to play and face painting to boot. That was fun for awhile, but eventually got boring so Lucy and Zach ran like wild Indians through the gym until the Trunk or Treat finally began!

Now on to the good stuff!! Zachy was totally ornery by this time because it was past bed time, but quickly caught on to the fact that he was getting tons of candy (or "coo coo" as he calls it).

Jon eventually had to carry him because no one could keep up with how fast Lucy was knockin' out trunks! She definitely understands the concept of trick or treating this year!

They got TONS of candy and are spoiled rotten and will probably have rotten teeth, but that's what having a dad for a dentist is for, right?? Happy Halloween from Snow White and Dopey!!
