Halloween 2014

It was super cold this year. Normally, it starts to cool off around Halloween but this year a cold front moved in and it was super chilly! Luckily we didn't have too many Halloween activities during the week so that we were burnt out on Halloween before it showed up. We had the AWANA fall festival the day before where Cory and I volunteered and then went trick or treating on Friday. The kids all picked out their costumes a few weeks back and luckily still wanted to be those same characters by the time Halloween rolled around.

Carter just finished the first Harry Potter book so he was very excited to be Ron Weasley. Although, he was a little frustrated that everyone assumed he was Harry. He kept saying, "Mom, don't they see my red hair? Ron has red hair like me so they should know that I'm Ron!"

Vivi was determined to be Optimus Prime. She's quite the tomboy and girly things are not 'cool' in her book. Really? Why must my only daughter do this to me?

Clay had been wanting to be Boba Fett (Or Jango) for awhile now and so he was perfectly content with his costume as well.

Cory and our friend Darren took the kids around while me and Darren's wife (also named Cory; I know, very confusing) handed out candy and tried to stay warm...with what we dubbed as 'not coffee'.

After trick or treating all the kids (including our friends') came over, dumped out candy and traded and talked about their loot. We then put Ghost Busters on until late into the evening.
