Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween!  We had such a wonderful night of trick or treating!  We were worried that it would be too cold, but it ended up being ok.  The kids still had to wear layers under their costumes, hats, and gloves but we didn't need our winter coats.  
We had a busy day so we decided to just stay home and trick or treat in our own neighborhood this year.  We have always gone with family before and we did miss them, but it was nice to just walk around for an hour and then walk home for the night.  There were several houses in our neighborhood handing out candy so we have plenty!
We found the PERFECT costumes for the kids this year!  Jude had gotten a Hulk costume for his birthday this year and after that their was no question about what he wanted to be for Halloween!  He had also gotten a Thor costume and Eli was excited to wear that even though Iron Man was his favorite.  A few weeks ago I came across someone selling an Iron Man costume (with muscles!) for $4!  Eli was so EXCITED to be Iron Man.  I had wanted to get Isabel a Nemo costume for a few months since she LOVES her little Nemo fishy!  I had been checking on Ebay but they were all going for $35-$50 and there was no way I was going to pay that.  Then I found someone locally that was selling a perfect size Nemo costume for $15!  I couldn't pass it up and she sure made the cutest little fishy ever! :-) She loved it too!  She gets very excited when I put it on her!
Happy Halloween from Iron Man, Nemo, and Hulk!
 Eli got to wear his costume to school for his fall party so I got the other kids in their costumes also to surprise Grandma when she came to take Eli to school!  Eli had a blast at his party!  He told me they had a costume parade, treats, played fun games, and didn't do any learning stuff. :-)  He also said there was another Iron Man there but he didn't have any muscles.

Iron Man ready to blast!
Hulk ready to SMASH!
Cutest little Fishy ever!
Isabel has a slight obsession with these Hulk hands!

Trick or treating!
I love their hats with their costumes!
Iron Man was fast running from house to house!
Hulk was a little bit slower and then needed mommy to carry him for a bit on the way home :-)
The fishy had a blast going trick or treating!

They had a blast but were ready to be done :-)
The loot!
Isabel's goodies! 
Jude was the most excited for his orange nerds and that was what he picked for his candy for the night!
Eli picked white nerds!
So silly :-)
Isabel enjoyed her cheese balls!  She was pretty excited that it had Mickey on it!
