Last night was our church's Halloween Carnival and Trunk or Treat party. The kids had a lot of fun and brought home a ton of candy.
Tonight the kids asked to put their costumes on again to go out trick or treating in the neighborhood. Believe it or not this is a "first" for our kids. Crazy I know, but we have always done trunk or treating at the church and called it good. But this year the kids wanted to experience the real deal. We said okay, and they had a blast!
5 kids x 2 nights of trick or treating= a crazy amount of sugar!!!!
Once they got home and started counting their loot, we told them that rather than getting sick on junk food, they should consider turning their candy into the Cash-For-Candy project where dentists were collecting the candy and actually paying the kids by the pound, to bring their stash in and donate it to the Troops oversees. The decision was left up to them.
I guess our kids are motivated by money because they all chose to keep only a couple pieces of their candy and quickly gave the rest away in exchange for the MONEY!! They each made about 10 bucks a piece as a result of that "wise business decision".
Costumes for 2009
Alaina as an 80's rocker chick.
For Ky, doing a 2 person illusion costume again this year was a must. He was looking to win a prize this year because he missed the costume contest last year. He ended up winning 1st place last night at the Halloween party and Alaina took home 2nd place.
Hailey as Hannah Montana. Sing it Girl Friend :)
Kase as G.I. Joe.
Hudson as a dinosaur. Roooooaaaarrrrrrr.
Fun with friends at the church Halloween carnival last night.
