Halloween

We spent Halloween in Utah this last year! It's funny because we thought oh this will be fun in a "normal" neighborhood, they'll get more candy and have fun seeing friends and family. Yeah we went around 1 block at my parents neighborhood and they were done! It was cold for them and the houses were spaced far apart compared to military housing that has 2-4 houses connected together. So in the amount of time it took us to go around  the one block which is actually a very LONG block we could have gone that same distance here on base and got 5 times the amount of candy. Not that they would eat that much...they didn't even eat half of what they got in UT. They just like knocking on the door for the candy...but in military housing there's a lot more of going up to a bowl on a porch to pick out a piece of candy because usually one of the spouses is deployed therefore you have nobody to pass out the candy if your taking your kids around. I had to do a bowl on the porch last year because Wayne was on mission and would have been on mission this year if we hadn't had to come home to UT. And he will probably miss it again next year as well and that's ok we take lots of pictures and video for him. :)
And this year I made Peyton's Batgirl costume. After looking at the $50 dollar one at walmart i decided that was to ugly for that much money and I could do better. I also hated the boys batman costume and just bought some sweats and black pants for Matt and some batman gear to wear over his costume...but I keep getting reminded about the belt I forgot....like right now at this very moment I'm being told that I still forgot his belt.

Batgirl, Robin and Batman. We had a blast this year!!

For everyone wondering where I got the cool pink Batman mask....from a pink spray can and a can of pink glitter blast! Because yes people thought I really bought a pink one somewhere and were in complete shock that i made her costume. The Pink Batgirl was the talk of the fall festival here on base. We had a ton of people asking about her costume and how I made the gauntlets for her.
