Halloween

Last winter Kalen's brother Todd sent us the complete dvd set of Gilligan's Island.  We have been working our way through them this past year whenever we have extra time before bed or on a Saturday afternoon.  It has been so much fun to watch the kids giggling over those silly episodes and enjoying them so much.  When one of the kids made the connection that there were seven castaways and seven of us, it didn't take long for the idea to come for our whole family to dress up as the crew of the SS Minnow for Halloween this year. 

It was harder than I thought to come up with some of the costumes (there aren't too many gold evening gowns for preschoolers out there...), but I thought the results were fantastic.  We had a lot of fun showing off our costumes at our branch Trunk or Treat and then again trick or treating on Halloween.
