Trunk or Treat!

Happy Early Halloween!

Today was our wards trunk or treat. I LOVE dressing up for Halloween and giving out candy to all of the kids in our ward. This year we were also asked to be on the activities committee. 

I spent all day getting ready for tonight. 

I bought and bagged candy!

I baked Cupcakes! They are s'more cupcakes. They have a graham cracker crust, chocolate cupcake and a marshmallow melted and toasted on top! The relief society was doing a cupcake walk and I volunteered to make some of the cupcakes.

 I carved Pumpkins! These were going to go in our trunk, but it rained, so we had the trunk or treat in doors. Luckily these are fake pumpkins with led lights inside, so we brought them in!

 I made chili. It was my first try, and as you can see by this picture, I think it was a success.

Then it was time to get dressed up. Chris came up with the idea to be "tree huggers" Chris went as a tree and I went as a hippie!

For my costume, I already had the pants. I bought the shirt at Earthbound Trading Company at the mall and I almost bought the vest in the picture below too, but it was $22.00 which I thought was a little expensive...

But after trying on my costume at home without a vest I decided that I needed one...so I made one for FREE instead of going back and buying one.

 

Me and My TREE!! (in case you are wondering, he only had a white long sleeved shirt, so he is a sycamore tree!)

Besides dressing up like a tree, Chris put together a groovy playlist to play on his ipod dock while we gave out candy. The Who, The Byrds, Moody Blues, CCR, Jimi Hendrix, The Mamas and the Papas, Cream, and Iron Butterfly were just a few of the artist that our trick or treaters heard when they came to get our candy!

This was our favorite costume of the night...Baby Einstein!!

I love Halloween!
