Halloween 2010

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

In previous years I would spend all month thinking about what I was going to dress up as for Halloween. Working as an elementary teacher I pretty much had to, the kids loved seeing their teachers dressed up. This year I loved seeing my own kid dressed up! Bailey's costume was a cow given to us by Mark's mom, so cute! Here's how we celebrated this year.

On the 29th we went to the only mall in town and went trick-or-treating. I felt a little awkward going to each store getting candy with Bailey's trick-or-treating bag while Mark and Bailey stood off in the distance, but then again, I love candy so it wasn't too bad. We met up with some friends in the ward and we all went out to eat after.

On the 30th our ward had a little Halloween activity. We had soup in bread bowls and there was a cake walk, donuts on a string, fishing, and face painting for the kids. It was a little cramped but we had fun. We also got to see more babies in costumes which I love! Look at these babies!

If you couldn't tell I dressed up as a ballerina (thank goodness for 9 years of old dance costumes) and Mark dressed up as, um, a Bears fan?

Of course I had to have a little photo shoot with Bailey in her cow costume. She was a little hesitant at first, like, "What are you doing mom? Why are you putting me in a basket, what are these things?" But it was well worth the it! I also took pictures of her in the Halloween pajamas that Aunt Allie gave her.

"Hi mom! I'm a cow!"



Love the cheeseball face - lower right.

Look at that drool!



On the 31st, actual Halloween, we went to church. That's all. We had some kids come to the door and I gave them candy, but then Bailey went to bed so Mark put a sign out that said we were all out, sorry kids. All in all we had a GREAT Halloween!
