A Spooktacular Halloween

We had a fun ward party/trunk or treat to kick off the Halloween celebration, but I didn't get any pictures, so we will just go straight to actual Halloween.

Beckam and I made these pumpkin rice krispy treats. They looked cute but tasted AWFUL! I followed the recipe from the back of the box to the T and they were as hard as rocks- what the heck?
Beckam was a pirate and LOVED every second of Halloween- hanging out with cousins and random people handing out candy for nothing? Yes please!
Everett was a little candy corn and we thought he looked adorable (even though many people didn't get what he was). It was the perfect outfit because it wasn't too hot for our AZ weather, and it was easily taken off/put back on.

A side view of the costume

Beckam and his cousins, right before trick or treating.

Here they are actually trick or treating. I LOVE Beckam's face in this picture. Like I said- he loved every second, haha. (He did fade fast though. After about 10 houses, he was like 'Okay, when are we going back to Drex and Laura's house?)
Everett didn't understand why everyone kept putting the candy in his bucket. He would attempt to say trick or treat and then the people would put the candy in his pumpkin, and he would immediately look in and fish the candy right out. He just wanted to eat it right then.
And who could resist those cute cheeks?

Of course McKane and I dressed up for the Party too. I had to take advantage of having braces for Halloween so I dressed up as. . . .
Darla from Finding Nemo!
And McKane was the uncle/Orthodontist.

I wasn't sure how I would pull of the headgear, but I found a wire headband that worked PERFECTLY. That was lucky.

We had a fun October and a 'spooktacular' Halloween. But basically, that whole week was a party, since my birthday was the next day.
