When we realized we were going to be here for Halloween I gave the girls a few options for costumes and they chose to be m&m's.
Naturally Sofia chose purple...
and Hannah chose pink. They wanted nothing to do with the normal m&m colors, so I didn't argue too much.
James wanted to be Eminem, the rapper instead of an M&M wrapper, but I vetoed that. Here's what we ended up with:
I had planned on making TJ a peanut m&m, but was too cheap. The thought of finding the right color onesie, and sewing it for him to wear for a whopping 1 hour was too much for me. My sister conveniently gave us the tiger costume.
Hannah is actually old enough to get excited about the holidays and it makes it so much more fun. We spent the week doing preschool crafts for Halloween. We used them to decorate.
Here are a few of the ghosts we had flying around
and the spiders creeping around:
We managed to do a few candy corns as well as a Frankenstein
and lots of spider webs to top it off
Of course we had to plan our menu to the holiday. So, we had jack-o-lantern burgers (which I forgot to take a photo of).
We find any excuse we can to make 7 layer dip...so naturally we made it work for Halloween
and ended with pumpkin rice crispies (as if we needed a dessert)!
This was our first time actually going trick-or-treating, but they caught onto it pretty quickly. After a whopping 10 minutes (thank goodness we live on a small cul-de-sac), we headed home to sort the candy. They each got to choose one thing to eat - I thought it was rather fitting they each chose a package of m&m's
I think that was their first time actually eating m&m's and they seemed to approve!
