Our ward had a carnival and Trunk-or-Treat on the Wednesday before Halloween. That worked out well for us, since my parents were going to be here on Halloween, and we probably wouldn't want the kids to do much trick-or-treating that night. I'm not sure where we would have gone. Not around our apartment complex, I don't think. :)
Costumes weren't too difficult. Jaina was excited to wear the same Carebear costume she wore last year in Arizona, and we had the choice of an elephant (that Reilly wore at 12 months old) or a bunny rabbit in her size. The bunny had elastic all around the head, which I didn't think she'd go for, so we opted for the elephant. I thought she'd be fine with it, since (when we were trying on other costumes) she seemed to like wearing the head around a few days before. She was NOT impressed when I put the whole costume on her, but we were a little late and in a hurry, so she just had to deal with it. She relaxed pretty quickly; she loves to get out of the house for any reason! Reilly decided he wanted to be a cowboy, which took a little thrift-store and Wal-mart searching. We found a hat and a belt, but he had to be content with dinosaur rainboots. There aren't a lot of boots floating around here in Virginia... He doesn't know enough about boots for that to have bothered him though. :)
The kids had fun at the carnival, and both won something at the cake walk. They loved going from car to car collecting candy (nice candy too, like lots of chocolate, which has been bad for my diet) while Katy handed some out with Daddy. After they were done, I took Katy to 5-6 cars. She was really getting into it, but many people were out of candy by then. :) It is exhausting taking 3 little ones to something like that. I'm so glad Jeremy was there to help, and that we all had a good time!
