Patience is not about how long someone can wait... It's about how well they behave while they wait.

Trunk or Treat 2012

I posted a few pics on facebook, but wanted to post more here.  We had a really good time with this trunk or treat.  We decided on the theme on the way home from last years effort.  This was a whole family activity.
 
Here is the rough set up of the first few pieces in the truck.
 
 
Fitting Ben for his bald cap.  We also had to make sure he was not going to have a reaction to the spirit gum.  A couple of months before he actually offered to shave his head, but later reconsidered and we went with the bald cap.  =P

 
David trying on the Oogie Boogie costume.

 
The truck set up.

 
Painting Ben's head.  I think that look is saying "I've had toooo much sugar already."

 
Ben trying to decide if the goggles will work.  They kept fogging up and he already had trouble hearing with the bald cap over his ears...
 
 
We eventually decided he should move the goggles up on his forehead so he could at least see.
 
 
Myranda sewed the patches on her dress.  She did the back also, but evidently I didn't get a photo of her rear.
 
 
Zero.

 
Hamming it up.

Hamming it up some more.

 


 
 

 
It was really a lot of fun.  We had songs playing from the sound track and Sally and Oogie Boogie sang along to their songs.  Ben was a good D.J. and I believe he and I enjoyed singing along too. 
 
Have I mentioned that I love Halloween?
