The Sunday before Halloween, the activities committee chair in our ward notified us that there was going to be a prize for the best decorated trunk as well as the best decorated adult. Therefore, Zac and I were on the lookout for some good ideas to win the big prize. Initially, I wanted to dress up as a pirate and turn our turnk into a pirate treasure box, as piracy has been a theme for me for the past few Halloweens. While we were at Wal-Mart one night, we saw something that I thought would make our trunk perfect--a little rubber ducky that was dressed in a pirate outfit. Zac, however, didn't quite take to my pirate idea, so I had to come up with something new. Because there were multiple ducks that were dressed up in different outfits, I came up with the idea to turn our trunk into a bubble bath--the ducks were dressed up specially for Halloween and Zac and I could dress like we just got out of the shower. Zac convinced me that it was an original idea, and thanks to Google, dollar stores, and Target, this is what we came up with:
Although I was handing out the candy, I think the children had more fun at the "bubble car" watching the bubbles that Zac was blowing. Sometimes, they would sit and watch the bubbles and then leave without getting any candy. And I thought that I would be the popular one with the candy. Oh well. Luckily, the judges for the contest liked our trunk as well because we won the award for "Best Family Theme," as well as a gift certificate to In-N-Out. Mission: accomplished.Later that day, we decided to carve some pumpkins. I think they turned out great--they might even look a little bit like us.
All in all, I think we had a pretty good first Halloween in Davis.
