Charis got to have two costumes this year! One for school and one for trick or treating. Just like Kris who also has at least three costumes.
A month ago, I asked her what she would like to go as for Halloween - thinking that she would not know and that I could guide her to something easy to make. But to my surprise Charis answered almost immediately... cookie monster!
I did not want to buy a cookie monster costume but lucky one of Kris' friends had a homemade cookie monster suit from last year for his 3 year old son. It was perfect! But because it was someone's homemade costume, Kris and I did not feel comfortable with Charis wearing it to school - sand playground and cupcakes for the party would not clean off easily.
So she went as Lilo (from Lilo and Stitch - one of her favorites). She was so cute! And she loved wearing it and dancing around.
Then for trick or treating, she of course went as Cookie monster and Kris went as Big Bird. Skot and I helped guide Kris because it was hard to see and laughed at the great reactions that Charis and Kris got from their costumes. One of the houses several blocks away remembered them from last year as Curious George and the man in the yellow hat. We were all shocked that they remembered them.
We went to a lot of houses and had a great time. When we got home, Charis got one piece of candy and we found some Halloween pretzels (what a great idea). 
Then she gave most of her candy to trick or treaters and Kris' friends. But kept just enough to have one piece for a couple of days.

Great job with the Halloween costumes! I love that you guys get into dressing up. Where did Kris get the Big Bird costume? That's classic. :P So fun!
So cute, so cute, so cute.....oh my goodness. Big Bird and Cookie Monster - that is the cutest thing I have ever seen in my whole life.
Corey is not super manly, but I don't think he would EVER dress up like Big Bird. I'm not saying anything bad about Kris b/c that picture makes me smile so much!
Hahah.
And, Charis is the cutest hula girl I've ever seen.
Ok, after showing Corey this picture, I realized that he's not wearing yellow tights. At first I thought he was and that's why I made the manly comment.
Corey says he would possible wear a costume like this if it cost less than 30 bucks (we're cheap).
Also, he'd like me to clarify that he is indeed manly.
Haha.
