Wednesday = Trunk-or-Treat

Our wards annual Trunk-or-Treat night. What a great excuse to dress up and collect more candy. This time I remembered the camera and took pictures of Noah and Zoe in their costumes. They were excited that Dad got to go Trick-or-Treating with them this time. The kids have decided that Noah gets to share his candy with Dad and Zoe gets to share her candy with Mom. Isn't life great?

My favorite costume of the night was Barrack Obama, one of the guys in our ward wore a nice suit and passed out fake money, encouraging everyone to spread the wealth. It was amazing how well he imitated his actions and could repeat most, if not all his slogans. I'm so wishing I had gotten a picture of it. However, this Barrack Obama was actually encouraging people to vote for McCain.

We also had a Chili cook off. First place went to Nathan Kenison and the runner up was his wife. The best trunk went to a couple of YW who dressed as vampires, and had a coffin. They put a salt ring around their space and made all the kids hold a piece of garlic, in order to get candy. My kids weren't even phased by it, until Dan told Noah she wanted to eat him. He then let out a little whimper: "I don't want her to eat me!!"

Trying to get both kids to cooperate and look at the camera at the same time is sometimes a challenge.... Here's our little munchkins all decked out. Noah is a fireman and Zoe is his fire dog.
Look at her little tail......
Zoe playing with Noah's hat at the end of the night, notice she's still holding tight to her candy....
I'm hoping to get some better shots on Friday.

The kids look so cute! That was a really cute costume idea. My two girls went as a cop and a robber.

Noah and Zoe are soooooooooo adorable! I love their costums and your idea of celebration Halloween all week. It is too fun of a Holiday to only have it last for one night!
