Halloween 2010

Kams aka "Tinkerbell"

Syd aka "little chick" 
(also take special note of the baby doll she is holding.  G'ma Crouse gave it to her for her birthday present only days before, not knowing this was her halloween costume and it was a PERFECT match.)

Gracie aka "Fairy Princess" (for preschool) and "Tigger" (for Trick-or-Treating)

We took the girls to the ward Trunk-or-Treat on Saturday night and then Trick-or-Treating Sunday.  We went to a cute little neighborhood that is quite popular for Halloween (probably because it's not in the ghetto and not too scary to walk around the neighborhood).  (Also where it says "popular" please read "CROWDED".)  The girls LOVED going door to door and getting treats.  Kami's favorite part was asking permission and petting all of the dogs she could find.  We have kind of had a Halloween tradition of letting the kids eat whatever candy they want for one night and then the candy disappears (sadly, most of it is thrown or given away).  We thought it was genius, and it had worked in the past to get rid of everything so it wasn't a temptation to them or us later.  3:00AM hit and Gracie was puking chocolate (Reese's PB cups if you want to know the gory details)--YUCK (I think it's going to be quite a while before she or I can eat one of those again).  Luckily we had made it to the bathroom, although not to the toilet.  We are good parents, I tell you.  Poor Lance always ends up getting puked all over, and so then I always end up cleaning up the mess while trying to breathe through my mouth.  Good thing I love them!!

WOW! A "Puking" Halloween huh? That's no fun. I have the same tradition of getting rid of the candy. Although I'm thinking more of their teeth then their actual health! :)
