Costumes- Part Deux

After PIGWAB and the trunk or treat, plus an entire year of planning and talking about PIGWAB, our kids were a little burnt out on the Scooby Doo plan. Isaac was burnt out before it began.. Freddie was kind of lame anyway. Daphne's "Daphne" costume had lost it's luster for her, so I told the girls that if we had any hand-me-down costumes in our box, they could wear one of those. So for trick or treasting last night, they pulled out some oldies, but goodies:
D0es anyone remember this little combo-
Daphne, 4, as Little Bo Peep and a 4 month old Tori as her sheep:

Well, here is 2 year old Tori as Little Bo Peep. (She's much taller than Daphne was at this age!)

And Daphne in a Lady Bug Costume that was once worn by her cousins:

all together now:

It was rainy and cold on Trick or Treating Night (Saturday up here in Mormon country)...so we took the umbrella and the van with us in case it started pouring on us. Just before we left, a child came to the door with a bloody mask thing and Victoria was terrified. She kept talking about it and asking about it and was so concerned. She was very frightened of all the decorations and so our trick or treating experience looked a lot like this:
> I carried her from door to door and she was too frightened to say anything or even hold her bag out. Isaac and Daphne were having so much fun that she insisted on going with them, just in my arms. Anytime we saw a scary decoration, she would bury her face in my shoulder and say, "Cary! Cary!"

After a while, I got a little tired of this exposition and Matt took Victoria and me home while he escorted Isaac and Daphne around for more loot!

They were having a blast, running from house to house and Daphne came back to the car crying that her throat hurt. Uh- oh.

Here they are with their treasures:

Later that night, Daphne went to sleep in tears. The next morning she woke up with a fever and vomiting... so we missed Stake Conference and went to the Urgent Care Clinic instead.

DX: Strep Throat.

Bummer, dude.
