Homemade Halloween

I hope everyone has as much fun on halloween as we did.   This year I ended up making all the kids costumes, starting two days before halloween, and LOVING it.  It gave me a great reason to be creative again, and it is completely possible that I may make my kids costumes every year! Is there an age that homemade costumes are totally lame?

Also, last minute we pulled together our annual meet-at-our-house-to-eat-then-trick-or-treat.  It was due time to get the Uluave family together again, and we had such a blast.  Not to mention delicious food. It is so wonderful to see the cousins together, all ages, just hanging out.  After trick-or-treating they all took their candy upstairs and decided it would be a good idea to "share" which meant that each of them poured their entire bag on the floor into one large pile.  There was candy everywhere!

Moana street is THE street to be trick or treating on if you live in the Hauula, Laie, Kahuku area, and 1,000 pieces of candy is never enough.  It is incredible, more like a street fair.  Everyone brings tables and tents to the end of their driveway, along with spooky music or whatever other decorations or part of your house you may feel is necessary, and they pass out candy from there.  There is none of this freezing, walk up every long driveway kind of stuff.  Just walk down one side of the street and come back on the other and thats it.  Bam.  Done.  Pretty amazing if you ask me.
