Trunk or Treat

I made the girls some fun costumes to wear to trunk or treat this year.
Evie, my little strawberry. She was offended by people thinking she was strawberry shortcake, and wasn't shy about correcting everyone.
Kiersten decided she would like to be a pineapple. It was a challenge to figure out, but this is what I ended up doing for her.
Kara requested a carrot costume. I wasn't sure if it looked much like a carrot, so that's why I made the pins for the front of their costumes.
I didn't want to paint their entire faces, so I just did their cheeks.
Ready to do some trunk or treating!
The girls got lots of compliments, and "fruit salad" comments.
They each won a prize for best home made costume for their age group. They were all pretty excited about that.
On Saturday, Evie had trunk or treat at her preschool. The other girls said they didn't want to go, so I just took Evie. You can see I was not very ambitious about decorating the trunk compared to the previous night.
There were a lot less people, so it wasn't crowded at all. Evie loved all of the games that people had set up for the kids to play.
Pretty exciting to win a cupcake in the cake walk!
She was super excited to get to play this angry birds game!
She did need help to use the sling shot.
She played the fishing game several times.
She had a hard time with this ring toss, but loved it all the same. And she still got a prize, even though she sucked at the game. (great thing about preschool events)
She wanted to try this "lizards in slime" game, but was pretty hesitant to actually grab hold of the lizards.
spider tic-tac-toe.
After we visited all the trunks, and played every game, we had chili dogs, and then she said she was ready to go home. Not a bad way to spend an hour :)

Do you think Evie is going to turn Kiersten into a smoovie for me?

Those costumes are awesome! I would have called Evie Strawberry shortcake as well! The games at the trunk or treat look fun. I sure wish our ward did something like that on Halloween or the weekend before, but we only do a quick lame trunk or treat on Halloween night!
