A:
Wonder Woman, Super Mom, and Buzz Lightyear
Kristi Marr made the Buzz Lightyear costume for Benjamin Marr when he was two. Fourteen years later and it looks like new. I was worried that Ev wasn't going to cooperate because he had refused to try it on everyday for like three weeks. But after seeing his sister and mom in costume and hearing about the prospective chili, cornbread, and Candy, he was in. Whew. He even wore the hat and jet-pack all night, and the gloves most of the night.
Trunk or Treat
Trick or Treating with Kira and Kristi
Adeline's outer costume (or Wonder Woman's alter ego) was made up of this cute hat and coat set. It made her look like Little Miss Muffet or a French girl. We called it her Madeline outfit. Kira was a ceiling fan. Go ceilings! The kids enjoyed themselves. Everett wanted to keep going saying, "we need to go to that house" and "knock the door." He asked about the noises at people's houses if they had scary sounds playing or dogs barking. He said "trick or treat" during practice with me, but not at a doorstep. Adeline was along for the ride and reached into the candy bowls at a few houses. She managed to chew through a peanut m&m bag and bite a chunk off of one before I realized that was possible.
Pumpkin Season
The kids got one little pumpkin each.
part of our Halloween dinner: Jack O Lantern stuffed peppers and mandarin oranges 
Partially because we were on vacation for half of October, pumpkin carving never happened. I threw myself a mini pumpkin party by making a Trader Joe's pumpkin palooza run.
I tried not to go too crazy but enjoyed Pumpkin:
-ravioli
-cream cheese muffins (it may taste like a cupcake, but hey, it has 100% DV vitamin A in one muffin)
-pumpkin pie spice cookie butter (Okay, that one is definitely dessert, but at least I can eat it slowly. And I eat it on apple slices and in plain yogurt so ya know, healthier)
-cranberry crisps
-pita crisps with cranberries and pumpkin seeds
-country pumpkin spice granola cereal
-puree, canned - to keep the pumpkin spirit alive later in the year
And okay this isn't from Halloween but it is from October. From watching General Conference
