We've never had the problem of finding costumes that were too hot for Halloween. I was surprised, however, to see some kids still wearing the thick monster/animal type costumes and wondered how they weren't sweating to death. Even in the evenings, my girls were fine in shorts.
Halloween is pretty wild here! People go ALL OUT with decorating. I tried to take some pictures, but the camera we had doesn't do well at night so they didn't turn out. My friend went through 1,000 pieces of candy and ran out! We weren't on the main trick-or-treating route so no one came to our house. We donated our candy to a friend on the route. I wasn't even going to have the girls go out, but then we saw how intense some people are about it and did take them to let them see what it was all about. It was pretty amazing. Kids waited in lines at some homes for candy-there were SO many kids!

Costume 1. For the party at school, the kids were supposed to dress as a character from a book. Whitney wanted Fern from Charlotte's Web. Couldn't complain about a few braids, a plastic spider and a stuffed pig (all of which we already had). Kenna really wanted to be Word Girl. I tried to convince her to be Fancy Nancy (for the sake of ease) to which she reluctantly agreed. But she really did want to be Word Girl. So I stayed up much into the night making her costume. It was all worth it in the morning when she put it on and ran through the house saying, "Word Up!" Her costume was made complete with a Captain Huggy Face-who also had a uniform, thanks to Mike.
Costume 3. (Didn't take a picture of Whitney's #2-she wanted to be a gymnast for our ward trunk-or-treat.) On Halloween night, Whitney decided to be a fairy.
Hard to get a good picture of all three-but at least they are all smiling!
Our little Cheerleader. This was Whitney's costume when she was 2! (Bryn is barely 1.)LOVE the chubby legs!
Here are Whitney and Kenna in their costumes-only a few years ago!
This is a friend of Mike's that he met on his mission in Honduras. Walt was stationed there with the Air Force. He was on the island for an Air Force convention and stopped in for dinner the night of the ward party. It is fun to keep in touch with old friends.
