Trick or treat, smell my feet.....

"Trick or treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat, if you dont, I dont care I'll pull your panties off." I taught Claire this rhyme, but she didn't get it quite right. I dont know why I would teach my child this, but I guess I am obnoxious by nature. We had a great halloween. Our ward did a Trunk or Treat and a dinner. Chili and corn bread. Nothing is better than free food. Lauren went as a baby bunny and Claire went as a peakcock. I first saw this costume 2 years ago on ebay and when I saw it I just died. I had to have it, but when I saw the price of $40.00 before shipping and handling, I just couldnt bring myself to buy it. Then last year we went to my sister Karries house in Yakima and lo and behold out she pulled the peakcock costume! Being the amazing person that she is, she said that claire could have it for halloween this year. Well, I knew I loved the costume but when she put it on it was that much cuter. At the dinner last night they had a contest for the cutest costume..... do you even need to ask? Of course she won. The prize was a jamba juice gift card. Claire had a great time running around in the gym with all the princesses and minnie mouse. Lauren had fun being held by mom and dad while we attempted to socialize. Afterward we went to grandma vickies and then off to uncle johns to play the best game ever, settlers of catan cities and knights. If you havent played settlers I highly suggest it. We had a great halloween and look forward to the many halloweens we have ahead.

We went and took Lauren to get some pictures at JC Pennies. Here is a cute picture I took of her before we left. she was so happy. Then when we got in the car and were several miles down the road she barfed all over her clothes. Luckily Grandma came to the mall and helped us a ton! By the time we figured out the outfit problem Lauren was no longer happy but atleaste I captured this big beautiful smile on my camera.

  2. I love the costumes! I saw the peacock costume on ebay while I was looking for a costume for Reagan. I thought it was totally cute when I saw it there. I would agree that Claire made the costume look even better.

  3. Sounds like a good Halloween to me. I was pretty excited to see a peacock and a bunny on my front porch. I was also surprised to hear Claire's version of the trick or treat poem.

  4. That peacock costume is gnarly. But I don't know if we are going to invite Cory and Ashleigh over to play Cities and Knights any more. Cory has now won the last 4 games. We're going to have to go back to just playing against Ian.
