Halloween!

Our Halloween fun began a couple weeks early at a church party (for adults only). John and I were stumped on what to be and we didn't want to spend a lot of money, so I hit up the thrift store and came up with this...

Yep, pretty homely. We were a polygamist couple, complete with a fake pregnant belly and infant in tow (I have to give a shout out to my sis-in-law, Mandy, for the idea)! Not bad for $2 at the thrift store, especially after we won a $30 Amazon gift card in the costume contest...woohoo!

The following week was Mo's preschool party. To say he was excited would be an understatement...

Matt Mo - a "minion" from Despicable Me (we LOVE that movie!)

Sadie obviously didn't have a clue what was going on, but she LOVES to dress up so she was excited too...

The moms/dads and little siblings were invited for the pinata at the end of the party...so much fun!

Matt Mo gave it a good couple shots, but no luck. Sadie was absolutely obsessed with the thing. She kept squirming out of my arms to get a closer look...

I even helped her take a swing at it after all the preschoolers had their turn. None of them could bust it open, so the moms/dads took a few turns and finally had success!

That same night was Trunk or Treat at our church. Matt Mo got another coat of yellow face paint and Ben and Sadie joined in on the Despicable Me theme...

This was our inspiration:

I'm not sure anyone could tell who Sadie was supposed to be unless she was with the boys. Oh well, she still looked darn cute...

The boys actually won a prize for their costumes at the Trunk or Treat...more candy, just what we need! Hope everyone else had a fun and safe Halloween too!
