Trick or Treat! Warm my Feet. Give me something hot to drink!

Every year, the Galena City school hosts a Carnival for all the kids in the community. We can all dress up and go play some fun games. This year Kaden had a blast playing games and getting prizes. He had a hard time picking what he wanted to dress as. Being in Galena our costumes have to be ordered or made from stuff we already have. Kaden first wanted to be a robot, then a ghost(which I said NO) then he wanted to be Peter Pan. So all week we were back and forth of what he was going to dress up as. You know for a 4 year old it is serious business of what you are dressing up as! Finally about an Hour before the carnival he picked Robin Hood.

Kaden and I have a movie night, usually on Fridays where he gets to pick a BIG peoples movie. One of his favorite is Robin Hood with Errol Flynn. He loves all the action and I love that it is clean with no language, no blood and that it is a great classic! I love that movie too. How can you not like the whole scene where Robin Hood swings to the tree and tells Lady Marion "welcome to Sherwood!" Love it!! Anyways. That is who Kaden wanted to be for Halloween. Here is my little Robin. I personally think he is way cuter then Errol Flynn !=)

For Isaiah we borrowed a costume from the Kopps. Isaiah dressed as Chewbacca from Star Wars. They had the whole set. Thankfully Cara's Chewbacca fit Isaiah. Here he is with Princess Leia(Kaylnn) and Luke Skywalker (Chris)

"May the Force be with you ALWAYS!"
He was a cute little Wookie! though I think he looks more like a little Ewok=)

Keith really over did himself on his costume this year. He said he dressed up as Kenton, his boss! In other words he wore his uniform just like all the rest of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife people did because they just got off work.

My original plan was to dress as Maria Von Trap from Sound of Music. I have my Great Aunt Claudia's dress that she bought in Germany in WWII. It is so pretty and I thought Maria Von Trap was a great Outfit since I LOVE to sing "THE HILLS ARE ALIVE" at the top of my lungs. Seriously I love to.... ask Keith! =) But after thinking about carrying a Guitar all evening I decided NOT to carry it. Which was good since I ended up carrying Kaden's bow and arrows all evening. So instead of bursting out in song all evening I decided to be Heidi and yodel all night long. "Yodelatyhoooo" Yes my yodeling skills are AMAZING!!! hehehe

Here is my little crew! Aren't we cute?

We had a great time! My favorite part of the night was getting to eat a WONDERFUL, SCRUMPTIOUS, DELICIOUS caramel apple! They are one of my favorite things to eat! Kaden had fun bobbing for apples. He was a little hesitant to do it at first.

Bowling was another of his favorite things to do!Bobbing for Marshmellows
His favorite game to play was Fish Race. He went back to this one OVER and OVER again. Keith was right there along side him racing fish. Yes this is a REAL fish racing game. You pour the fish into these little canals and then wiggle your fingers behind them so they race towards the finish line. It was awesome! I must say between Keith and Kaden, those fish got their exercise!=)

His fishy won!

Here are some other pictures of my sweet pumpkin playing with a pumpkin! He is so cute!
We did go Trick or Treating on Halloween Night but I must say doing it when the temperature is -5 degrees is NOT as Fun as it could be. Kaden and I both dressed up like Alaskans! Yes we had the BEST costumes. Parkas, snow boots, gloves, hats, scarfs. It was the perfect costume this year. I actually saw lots of kids dressed in the same costume! AMAZING Great minds think alike! But after an hour of door to warm car to door, The boys( Kaden and our pastors 2 boys who hitched a ride when their snow-go died) and I decided we were cold and hungry! So we dropped the Kopp boys off at their house and we went home to a nice warm house with Chili (made by Keith) on the stove, and hot chocolate too. It was a great evening! But the whole trip I was singing "Trick or Treat, Warm my feet, just give me something HOT to drink!"
