Our Frugle Halloween

Usually we go all out for Halloween but this year we followed the old adage, "Make do or do without" ~kind of. In years past we have dressed up as a family but we decided to let everyone just do their own thing since we have enough costumes to outfit the neighborhood. The girls each bought wigs (as did I) and I purchased Eric's Fester robe at Savers in the used section for $10 along w/ his $2 swim cap. The rest came from digging in the "trunk" just like I use to as a kid.

Here is Alicia & her crew. She is the first one with the tatoos & black lips. I heard you should dress up opposite of your real personality & I think she did just that!

We had the priviledge of having Superman, Superbaby & Spiderman (my brother Jim & kids) join our forces. Adam & Rich are the storm troopers. Benny is Darth Vader and Tommy is a Power Ranger. It was so hot the 3 year olds started striping down after a half hour of running from door to door. We have never had such a warm Halloween. Even with the rain, it was warm!


At our 4th annual Halloween Party Uncle Fester & I (Morticia) were joined by Cousin IT, Lurch the Butler, and even Eddie from the Munsters showed up. So it was only appropriate to have a family photo.
I brought the host some beautiful rose stems but Uncle Fester was having a hard time lighting his bulb. I guess he didn't spend enough time in the electric chair before we left.

Emily had a real "teenager" Halloween. She left about 4:00 w/ costume in hand (therefore, no pictures) and spent the night with friends in Ogden trick or treating for King Size candybars. She returned home the next morning at 10:00. This was her treat since we usually only have "late-nights" in our family.
