Our carved pumpkins (the left one is supposed to be Yoda):
Friday night was our ward Trunk or Treat and Halloween dance. The kids were so excited to dress up.
Carter as Harry Potter (who else?):
Kenna showing off the wand and matching treat bags I made for them:
(you can see Carter's HP bag in his picture - they turned out so cute and were cheap and easy - I see a new tradition here)
I wish I had gotten a better picture of the two of them together but Addie would not cooperate (tried both nights) and Kenna just did not feel very well. Their costumes were a HUGE hit though and we got compliments on them everywhere we went.
At the trunk or treat dance:
Friday Carter was able to go back to school. The schools have a no costume rule here (BOOO!!!) but they did have a fun pajama/crazy hair day at the school. I was able to go for the parade and help with the breakfast/party afterwards. Carter loved wearing his skeleton pjs to school!
Friday night was our ward Trunk or Treat and Halloween dance. The kids were so excited to dress up. Carter as Harry Potter (who else?):Allen's sister Laurie Jane knitted the Griffyndor scarf for Carter and it was the favorite part of the costume.
Kenna and Addie as Candy Corn princesses:

At the trunk or treat dance:
It was SO nice to have Halloween on Saturday this year. We were able to spend time together and we had a nice, traditional Halloween dinner (mummy dogs, dinner in a pumpkin, pumpkin dip with apples and gingersnaps, and goblin juice) and did not feel one bit rushed. The kids had a great time ToT our neighborhood and for once I actually ran out of candy!'
The loot:
Hope you had a wonderful and safe Halloween season. My kids are finally on the mend (crossing fingers that Addie doesn't get it) and I'm looking forward to getting back into my normal routine this week!

cute costumes and kids!!!
Wow! Monique you really are AMAZING with holidays. I don't think I'll let me kids see this post or they'll see what they are missing out on! The costumes are awesome!! Carter is a perfect Harry. And where did you find the idea or costumes for the girls? So fun!!
I agree! Your costumes were awesome! And how cool that the scarf is REAL!! I think if I got to do all those fun things I would make it a habit of being sick that week too. In fact, can I join the fun next year??? You are awesome!!
Your kids look so dang cute. Carter is the perfect HP, and OMG the girls costumes are so cute! I love all the matching accessories, too. You are so talented!
Why doesn't the school let the kids wear their costumes?
Sorry about the week of sickness, but it sounds like you had a great week in spite of it!
I can't say enough about the costumes. I love Carter as HP, and your Candy Corn Fairies are TDF!! All that tulle, the wands, the treat bags! I'm in love!
Now I get it. I couldn't picture the candy corn costumes as tutus. Seeing is understanding! As usual, all the of the munchkins looked lucious. And so much candy. There's a reason that moms should hide it and spread it out over a period of time. Sugar highs are not so good. Congratulations on having Albuquerque's cutest TOTers.
Mom
Your costumes are adorable! Did you make the girls' skirts? Is Carter's class really that small?
I love the candy corn princesses. So cute!
I think Carter looks awesome. The scarf definately makes the costume! Hello to the fluffyness of those tutus! I'm surprised Ads didn't rip it off! They look way cute!
good job on the costumes! They look great!
Adorable costumes! You're so talented!
how very fun and adorable! I'm so glad they got well in time for Halloween fun! Love the tutus!
Look like lots of fun and super cute! I can't believe how few kids are in Carter's class. Is he in public school? Jackson has 23 in his and Delaney has 17 and I thought those were pretty good.
Darling costumes and accessories! Sorry your kiddos were sick. Hope you are all back to normal now.
Fabulous all the way around! Nicely done. Love C as HP, and the girls are so perfect I could eat them! Hope everyone is on the mend - it's been a rough fall thus far.
Um, I know I read this the day you posted, but I didn't comment. Sorry!
Love the costumes!!!! C looks so good as "Harry"! And you did an amazing job on the girl's tu-tu's!
Hope you are all feeling better now and still enjoying Fall!
Thank goodness everyone was healthy in time to trick or treat! The costumes are awesome and I love the matching treat bags!
Just got my CK yesterday and saw that flippin cute card with your fabulously adorable family pictures. :) How fun!!!
did Carter try to cast any spells? :)
too too too too cute. Love it all -- so much more fun than our BORING ballerinas here. I ALMOST showed A&B, but then realized that they'd be begging me to copy your costumes and make it for next year and don't think I'm that crazy! You did amazing.
oh my gosh Monique--you are always outdoing yourself. Sigh. The costumes are amazing. All the tulle in those fun colors make me swoon. And that HP scarf is like the perfect touch. I want one!!!
Looks like a great time! You are so creative. I loved all the costumes and Carter definately looks like Harry Potter. Our ward doesn't do Halloween, our bishop isn't a fan. (Boo) so I live through others who have ward parties! :-) (otherwise we have a fabulous ward!) Hope you all stay healthy and well!
