As with all holidays, I always plan on having more planned to celebrate the day and it tends to be a last minute effort to make it special. Even though I didn't have all the details planned like I wanted to, I was able to pull some things out of the hat at the last minute.
Ethan (Jango Fett), Jacob (Anakin Skywalker), Audrey (Raggedy Anne) Alex (a Smurf)
All of their costumes needed some repairs or fixing. I had fully intended on doing that weeks before, but on the day of Halloween I was adjusting Jacob and Ethan's belts, sewing Jacobs shirt because the hole for his head wasn't big enough and I completely redid Audrey's hair. Thankfully, I got it all done and didn't make anything look worse because of it.
My last miracle of the night were the cupcakes. I had no idea how I was going to decorate them, but this is what they morphed into. I actually impressed myself for only having 30 minutes to make them into something special. The kids were a little surprised too and their laughter made it all worth it.
The kids of course had a great time trick or treating and got tons of candy. Jacob was also a trooper and sat with Doug at the end of the night to pull everything out of his pumpkin that had chocolate, wheat and peanuts. The only thing I have to say is thank goodness he is our child with IBD. If it was one of the other two I'm not sure how we would survive it.
