The Moore Family Adventure: Happy Halloween!

Monday was Halloween and the entire family participated!

Emily & her Handsome Prince

Back in September I started asking Emily what she wanted to be for Halloween. As you can imagine, she named off various people and things over the following few days, but one person was consistent...Sleeping Beauty. Sleeping Beauty is her favorite princess...not because she's watched the movie over and over again, and not because she has a favorite toy or something...Sleeping Beauty is her favorite for the mere fact that Sleeping Beauty has a pink dress. After all, pink is Emily's favorite color!

So, the minute she said she wanted to be Sleeping Beauty, the next thing out of her mouth was that she wanted her daddy to be her Prince Charming. (How can you resist something so cute!)

I immediately started searching for costumes so that they would arrive to the island in time. I found both a Sleeping Beauty costume, as well as a Prince Charming outfit for her Daddy.

The Incredibles

But, I couldn't let Chris dress up alone and me miss out on all the fun. So, I got the idea for Ethan to be Mr. Incredible and I would be his Mrs. Incredible! He looks just like Dash (the boy) from the movie, so it was a great fit!

Monday morning both kids wore their costumes to school; Emily won a "Best Princess Costume" award in class. They looked adorable!

Chris picked them up early and we all went trick-or-treating through the downtown Kodiak retail stores. The weather was beautiful, so the place was packed with kids and their parents! (Not too many parents are as cool as we are though, because hardly any of them dressed up!)

We spent about an hour downtown before coming home to trick-or-treat at our neighbors' houses. We did the rounds here and then handed out candy for the rest of the night. I think the kids have more candy then mom & dad will let them eat! They scored a good-sized bag FULL of treats!
