OOMPA LOOMPAS

All through October, I asked Na'u what she wanted to be for Halloween and most every response was "treak-or-treat". I was expecting that maybe she'd say tinker bell or little mermaid but she didn't. I don't think she quite gets the whole Halloween concept of dressing up as something/anything, say one little phrase, and get loads of candy in return. Since Na'u wasn't very passionate in what she wanted to be, Cam and I decided that they would be....
Oompa Loompas from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.







Na'u loved her orange face and green hair. It was a hastle to put Iwi's look on, but I am very happy how everything turned out :). Although, I wish I had decided what they were going to be a little earlier so that I wasn't stressing but that's just how it goes.

We joined my brother's ward for trunk-or-treating. On our way over, I had the following conversation with Na'u.

Me: Na'u, what do you say to people so that they give you candy?
Na'u: Can I have candy, please?
Me: No, you just have to say, trick-or-treat. What do you say?
Na'u: Can I have candy, please? Trick-or-treat.
Me: (lol) No...just trick-or-treat. You don't have to say, Can I have candy please. So what do you say....
Na'u: Can I trick-or-treat.

I just LOVE it! We have drilled the "Can I please" phrase into her so much that she carried it over to Halloween. What a little cutie! By the time we actually went out, she said trick-or-treat a couple of times. Then she decided that she didn't want to say anything but hold out her bucket for people to put candy in. This method was still very effective :).

Alot of people had games for the kiddies to play.


We ran into our cousin Ashley there with her cute Tigger. As you can see, I did dress up but no one knew who I was. I'm suppose to be Vironica Salt trying to stay with the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory theme but I guess this character wasn't a very known character like Violet. Oh well, I tried :). I should have just worn a santa hat and been Mrs. Claus.

They feel asleep on our drive over to Kaneohe to visit their cousins. Notice the green from their hair ALL over their carseats? I didn't think about that little detail:).


The Oompas LOVE spending time with their Kaneohe cousins! They had the cutest costumes ever! La'iku was a lobster in a pot, Chan was the customer, Chris and Sina were chefs, Ka'ehu the lobster catcher, and Sarai the waitress. Such a cute idea! Channy and her grandma made all of their costumes....so talented!






Halloween day Evan and Paigy came over. We decided to go trick-or-treating right around our neighborhood.


You can see Cameron's costume here. He is a member of A Touch of Gold. He came straight from a show and made it just in time to go door-to-door collecting the goods.

Every year, this particular house in our neighborhood makes a huge sculpture in their front yard based on a movie that came out earlier in the year. In the past, they have done Kong Fu Panda and Pirates of the Carribean. This year was Avatar. Definately COOL!


We hope everyone had a wonderful Halloween just as we did!


With all that sweets, don't forget to brush your teeth :).
