Trunk or Treat Fun

Yesterday was the Trunk or Treat at church.  Each house group has a station, and we served popcorn and cotton candy—as well as the usual candy.  It was packed—and a lot of fun!!  The only regret is that we were so busy from the moment we all got there that we never got a picture of all our house group together in our costumes.  We had a superhero theme (for the adults—kids could be whatever they wanted).  We had a great turn out and it was a whole lot of fun!!  The food too—oh my goodness, this church COOKS!!  We ate all kinds of gumbo, red beans and rice, deer chili, sausage, a bunch of stuff on a stick—etc.  We definitely left there full!!

I wanted to get a picture with some of the Robertsons, but it didn’t happen.  We were just too busy!  Miss Kay was Cleopatra, and Si and Jep were themselves  LOL!!

Clara was a cat.  This doesn’t show her face make up very well at all :(

Lucy borrowed a cheer leading outfit from a friends Mom and went as a Cheerleader with attitude.  She had to wears some layers underneath as it got cold out!

Mike was Captain America and I was his female counterpart—Mrs. America :)  I made the top and my cape and Mike did the shields.  The sweatshirt above is one of my old ones from before losing weight.  It worked as a perfect base :)

I love these two pictures because of the cheerleader with ATTITUDE!!  Doesn’t she play the role well—maybe a bit TOO WELL!!

We didn’t see much of Lucy once we got there—she found her friends and was off!!

Here’s a better shot of Clara’s face make up.  She has been wearing the ears for a week now!

Besides all the wonderful food, great friends and fellowship, a great opportunity to spread the good news of Jesus, there were games too!!
