Trunk or Treat!

Last year was the first time I had ever heard of Trunk or Treat.  Our church hosts one every year. Have you ever heard of it?  Instead of trick-or-treating door to door, a whole bunch of people park their decorated cars in a specified area and hand out candy.  It's such a great alternative!  Our church also has bounce houses and other games for the event.  We also use it as one of our big community outreaches every year.  I believe last year they had over 1,000 people attend and from what I've heard there were even more this year!

Last year Tim was home on R&R and I had just had Blaine so we didn't volunteer for the event.  It was inspiring to see every one's creativity last year and we definitely didn't want to miss out on the fun this year!  In my blog roaming I came across this SUPER EASY tutorial on costumes for The Incredibles.  It took a little convincing, but Tim agreed!  It was a lot of fun to be able to do a whole family theme!

The boys hanging out eating their pizza before all the excitement starts!

SO glad I brought the play pin for Blaine to hang out in.  And I'm pretty sure he was every one's favorite!

 

 

Candy in hand, ready to pass it out!!!

Some of our friends.  Little House on the Prairie!

Wizard of Oz!

There were SO MANY good ones and I of course didn't get any pictures.  :(  It was a little hectic there for a bit.  There was R2D2 and Darth Vador, Flo from Progressive Insurance (she was selling Jesus though), Angry Birds, Pirates, etc, etc.  I didn't even walk around to see them all.  Wishing I had of course!

And since I didn't feel like I got any good pictures of us, we all dressed up again the following night and took some in our back yard.  It was a lot of fun and a fun way to get the boys involved in serving others first!
