Trick-or-Treat!

These two little elephants looked much cuter than their pictures show - although Brigham looked a little bit like a rat or a possum. Ayvri was so funny all night, she would wander to the door and hold out her hand and then just stand there staring at what she got like, "that's it?" We had to escort her AWAY from each door. Such a funny kid! I thought she'd get tired and fall asleep in the stroller - but she outlasted Ksenya & Kabe.

Here's our "knight in shining army". He loves the Heath Ledger movie "Knight's Tale" and that's what inspired this costume. Next year we'll do something more functional because about 10 minutes into trick-or-treating he lost his helmet, shield and sword and you couldn't really tell what he was. Every time he saw another kid with a sword though he'd run back to get his and then try to attack the other kid (strangers). He thought that their sword was an invitation for a sparring match.
Here was my favorite - Hermione Granger. She looked the part and can quote almost all her lines from the first movie. She was completely darling and so sweet and obedient all night long and SOO excited to eat the candy. After about 10 minutes of completely pigging out she said, "I think I'm sick, I'll probably throw up - maybe we should stop". What a smart kid!

Oh, Toni. You just go all out. How are normal people like us supposed to even be half as creative as you? Adorable.

So cute! Caleb was a knight just like that when he was four. I love Brigham's little elephant costume--very adorable. I bet they had a wonderful time dressing up.
