Yabba Dabba Doooooo!

We have been talking about Halloween with Grace for a couple of weeks now. We would tell her she was going to wear a Pebbles costume and go Trick-or-Treating and get candy. She would reply, "and then Ho-Ho comes and brings me presents?" She is so confused, lol. No matter how many times we told her she insisted that Ho-Ho was coming and she was gonna get some presents. As if a bucket full of candy isn't enough?

As you can see we went as the Flinstones. We went to The Barczak's for a Devil's Night Costume Party Friday night. It was fun to do a family theme and to see all of the adults dressed up too. Saturday we started the night at my parents where I guilted Scott and Nicki into coming over so I could get some pictures of the kids :) They were so dang cute. Ally was Hannah Montanta and Luke was a monkey. You can see Grace is acting like a monkey in the picture of the two of them. Those two are monkeys all right.

We then made the rounds to Gma Dawson's and the Rumseys. We ended the night at the Tylutkis. Beckie was the original mastermind behind the Flinstone / Rubbles idea. Give me an idea and I am off and running! Be careful what you say Beck!! Most of the costumes were courtesy of my very creative husband. He refused to go to JoAnns but he did use my sewing machine.

Surprisingly, Grace enjoyed the Trick-or-Treating. We took her an Noah around the neighborhood and man was it cold! They both went right up to the doors and held their buckets out for complete strangers to give them candy. Grace insisted on eating every peice of candy as she got it. She didn't quite get the whole gather it and save it for later thing. She ended up running around like a wild indian most the night, crying when we had to leave, and passing out from a sugar coma in the car. A successful Halloween indeed.
