Jedi, terrorist, McCain...oh my!

We had the power of the force with us as we went trick or treating with both of my kids representing the Star Wars genre. Hayden is dressed up as Anakin Skywalker and Sidney is playing Ashoka. She is a new Star Wars character from "The Clone Wars" series. I thought I did a pretty good job doing Sidney's makeup, especially since I didn't want to use the face paint. I found some extra blush and eyeshadow to help.
We had an eventful night of trick or treating. Usually we get plenty of candy from our trunk or treat, but since it was cancelled we decided to make a real go of trick or treating. The kids made out like bandits! Just once around the block filled up their containers. So we stopped at the house to empty out their containers and then headed over to another nearby neighborhood to see how well we could do there and to stop at a ward member's house for homemade doughnuts and rootbeer.

Who knew that we would run into so many famous faces? We saw Achmed the Dead Terrorist (a Jeff Dunham favorite).
Then just as we arrived at our friends' home for doughnuts and rootbeer, I was so surprised to meet Sarah Palin
...AND John McCain!

It was an awesome night! The kids had a blast going trick or treating and sorting out there "booty". And we had fun watching them light up at each new addition to their treat bucket...and meeting presidential candidates.
