Happy Halloween from a Dippy Egg and 2 Dinosaurs

This year Eli decided on his own what he wanted to dress up as for Halloween. He chose an egg, more specifically, a dippy egg.

So a few days before Halloween, I made his costume out of foam board, acrylic paint, a paper plate and some ribbon. He liked it and was the cutest dippy egg I've ever seen.

Halloween weekend was really fun this year. We spent the weekend in Milton and went "trunk-or-treating" on Friday at the church across the street from their house. What a great event! Kids went around to the trunks of vehicles to get candy. Each vehicle had a theme- trains, Christmas, beach, camping, etc. They did a great job and the kids loved it.

We stood in line for awhile and there was a little boy dressed like Luke Skywalker in front of us. He kept asking all these questions about Eli's egg costume.
"Is he an EGG?" (in consternation)
"Why is he an EGG?" (as in, who in the world would ever want to be an egg for Halloween)
"Where did you get that egg costume?" My mom told him that I made it and 2 seconds later he's telling his dad, "Dad, that lady made that EGG costume."
Eli and Kevin were running around and every time they came back near the line, that kid would say, "Oh geez, there's that EGG again!"
It was so funny. He was so bent out of shape about the egg costume.

Ryan and Spencer were nice and toasty in their dinosaur costumes, but it was difficult to have them in the stroller with their tails. But they looked cute, and that's all that matters, right?





Kevin carved Mickey Mouse into the pumpkin for Eli. Still need to get a picture of it!
