Fire Safety and Halloween

On Halloween day Beacon had their chance to watch the fire safety assembly put on by the local fire department. Etta wore her full fire fighter outfit. A lot of people thought it was her costume. Nope. Just a day in the life of Etta.

Her actual costume was (in her words) "an evil soldier". It was based on something she found in her Bible. Aunt Molly found this one online and had it sent. I think it was from The Titans or something. I'm not sure. Thanks Aunt Molly!

Mae was a monkey. And a cute one at that. This costume was courtesy of Aunt Molly also. The next door neighbor brought her grandson over to trick or treat as we were getting ready to go. He is Mae's age. We opened the door and he came right in and made himself at home. In his costume. That was identical to Mae's. As in...the same. exact. costume. Pretty darn cute. Of course - I didn't get a picture.

These were the three pictures I took while attempting to get a "good" one of them in their costumes. Wasn't happening and we were burning daylight.

The Girls came with us, just like last year. Helps us out SO much! This was the first house we went to.

Mae was not shy and knew exactly what to do. Overall it was a fun night. Mae had taken a loooooooong afternoon nap so she got to stay out for the entirety of the evening. After we got home and were getting the girls ready for bed we had some trick or treaters ourselves. Etta helped me hand out candy. One little girl that looked about her age - or maybe even a little younger - said, "Thank you little girl!" after Etta handed her the candy. It was so funny!
