A top hit this year was a last-minute idea. Kristi found a website with free stencils. I let each kid pick out their favorite, printed it, cut it out, and traced it onto the pumpkins, all within an hour of Kevin being due home from work. Then, thanks to Kevin and his Dremel tool - this is how they turned out:
The kids were so adorable I just admired them the whole time we were out.
Thanks to my mom for sewing a perfect Dorothy costume, and providing a basket for Toto. Rafael, Dorothy, the Blue Butterfly, and our little penguin had SO MUCH fun!
The best story from the night - we gathered afterwards to inspect the candy haul and the kids got to answer the door all together at the neighbors'. Every time the doorbell rang, five kids went running. Once after the door was closed on another batch of trick-or-treaters, Bethanie broke out sobbing. We couldn't figure out what happened right away. At first I thought she was sad because she didn't get to hand out any candy. But then it was discovered that she had given her lollipop away to one of the trick-or-treaters. Her USED Tootsie Roll Pop that she'd been enjoying for about ten minutes. We were all laughing imagining the reaction when THAT kid gets home to find a sticky, sucked-on lollipop in his bag. Ick!
