On Friday, October 27th, they had a Trunk or Treat night at James’ school. For those of you who don’t know what Trunk or Treat is, it’s where people decorate the trunks of their cars and hand out candy. Instead of going Trick or Treating to the houses around your neighborhood, you Trunk or Treat to cars around the parking lot.
It was damn cold, so we quickly hustled around the parking lot then went into the school gym to warm up a bit before heading home. Because it was so cold and we’d be wearing coats, we didn’t wear our real costumes. Stacy went as Wonder Woman (because, you know, she is), I just threw on a Batman shirt (although you couldn’t see it with my coat on), and James was Elliot from the movie E.T.
Now for our real costumes. Stacy likes to get creative with Halloween costumes. An idea pops into her head and then she sets out to figure out how to make it. This year she wanted to dress up like characters from the movie Up. Since James is the star of the family, he was Carl, the main character in the movie. I was Russell, and Stacy was Kevin the bird.
If you haven’t seen the movie, here’s the trailer:
