October: Part II

It's about time I posted about Halloween, right? We kicked off the weekend before Halloween with a tri-ward trunk-or-treat. We were unaware, but apparently there was a contest for the best decorated trunk, and we won! I kind of feel like some of the other cars got cheated, though, ours really wasn't that cool. I guess the coffin just really made an impression. :)

We only made one trip around to all the cars, and Lydia thought she'd hit the jackpot! She didn't need anything else for the rest of the night.
Grant's attempt at a costume: He wore the pumpkin hat that went with Rhett's costume.

Also that weekend Grant and I (and Rhett) went to a Halloween party at a friend's house around the corner. They are pretty big Halloween fans as well. Can you guess what Grant and I went as?

Lydia was a butterfly this year and practiced wearing her costume all the week before. She loved it. After each house we went to, she would say "I want more trick-or-treat". I thought she turned out to be a pretty adorable butterfly.

This was one of our new additions to the yard this year. Grant built it and I painted it. pretty clever, eh?

Our other addition, saw the idea online.

It was a fun Halloween. Grant got his fill startling trick-or-treaters, Lydia got her sugar fix, and Rhett and I enjoyed a nice quiet evening inside the house waiting to hear the shreaks from little children approaching our front door. :)
