Super Hero Halloween Fun

The youth at our church (and their leaders) put together a really fun Halloween party for the kids. 

Lissy loved the cake walk  She was so excited to walk from one to the other.  I think she was a little slow for the other kids waiting behind her.

Ha-Na loves being with the little ones and she looked great helping in her Wasp costume.

MJ was Mary Jane Watson from Spiderman.  That hair color was a mess!

Ha-Na is always happy to carry and help with Elisabetha.  Lissy shows her appreciation with kisses.

Carl as Doctor Octopus.  He took it off for a while as there were so many people he kept hitting them with his arms as he tried to get around.

She did not get the whole "eat the doughnut off the string." She has hands and wanted to use them. 

The 2 doctors.  Dr. Octopus and Dr. Who.

On Halloween we went with our friends trick or treating.  I think the kids got more candy here than they ever did in the states.  It was over 100, it did cool down a little for us to go out and gather candy.  

Our crew

She is so polite waiting for all the other kids to finish at the door.

This as the first house and when she realized what the procedure was she became a pro at this trick or treating thing.

I told Carl he was too old to ask for candy but he wanted to come along with us in costume.  He wouldn't have fit through the gate openings with his costume.  Later in the eveing all the older kids came out and I felt bad I had told him he couldn't do it.  By that time he wasn't interested in going out.  Maybe next year.

This is the way to do it.  Getting a ride and hopping out at the participating Villas.

We got this dress for her in Spain.  She wore it to church because it is a "pretty dress"  We gave her the option of wearing her kitty costume but she wanted to keep this dress on.

Carl stayed with his sisters and only charged 10% of their candy.

The faster they leave the villa the quicker they can get to the next one and more loot.

Wasp, she was really happy that she was taller than mom with the boots.  She ditched them halfway through the night, taking my sandals to finish in.  Walking back to the villa barefoot...the things moms do for their kids.

She ditched the stroller and enjoyed walking to the villas like the big kids.

So fun that many of the villas decorated and really got into the spirit of Halloween.  Lissy kept saying "Halloween Scary," all month but she had fun with it and enjoyed being a little scared.  She even gave Frankenstein a high five.

She did not think we should give out the good candy.  She is keeping it safe in her lap.

What do we do the day after Halloween?  Wear our towel poncho with our tennies, and eat candy necklaces while taking down decorations.  She sees no need for food today.
