Wesley has been looking forward to Halloween for a while. For our ward's trunk-or-treat, he dressed as an astronaut and looked great. Lauren wore glow-in-the-dark skeleton pajamas.
Two cuties.
(I wonder how old the kids will be when we will finally get pictures of them looking at the camera?)

Wesley refused to stand next to the pumpkin for a picture. Gil was a mad scientist and I was Scarlett O'Hara.
FYI: Same costume, I was Scarlett O'Hara for Halloween in 1995. Same costume - minus the hoop skirt underneath.
Wesley's preschool celebrates a Bible Alive day where the kids come as a person, animal, or idea in the Bible. In our family scripture study, we had just been talking about how the second coming of our Savior will be as a thief in the night. Wesley was quite taken with this analogy and decided to be a thief in the night for his preschool parade.
I got a blank white t-shirt and fabric paint and together, the two of us painted his shirt Monday afternoon while Lauren was napping. I think it turned out great and Wesley was thrilled!
I asked him if he wanted to change into his astronaut costume for trick-or-treating that night and he said no. I'll admit, he made a pretty cute thief. Gil took the kids to a few neighbors then lit a fire in one of the old coolant canisters he's turned into a fire pit. We didn't have too many kids come to the house which was disappointing to Wesley; I think he enjoys handing out candy more than getting it.
Happy Halloween!
