Happy Halloween

It's that time of year again when all of the spooks and goblins come out to play. My kids LOVE Halloween. What's not to love, you get to dress up, and people give you candy... It's not hard to love that!

I found a kit to decorate a spooky house, which I think turned out really cute! The kids had so much fun making it, and then eating it.

For about 2 months, Logan had been telling me that he wanted to be a bat for Halloween. So I found some ideas online, and came up with this costume for him. I think it turned out pretty cute, and he was so thrilled. He was able to wear it several times, once to pre-school, once to the ward trunk-or-treat, and then again on Halloween.

Allyson wanted to be a cowgirl this year, so we found her a cowgirl shirt, and she wore her cute boots, and Maddy's hat. Maddy was struggling with what she wanted to be this year, so we dressed her up as a football player.

Austin wanted to be a ??? well, I'm not sure what it's called, but it's a black costume with red glowing eyes. He love it, so that's what matters :)

On Halloween, we invited our family over for chili & scones, then we all went trick or treating together. All of the kids looked really cute, and they had a fun time walking the neighborhood.

I hope everyone had a fun and safe Halloween!

Trunk or Treat

We attended the annual Trunk or Treat at the kids' school. They were so excited to dress up. And who doesn't love gathering candy, eating yummy food, and playing carnival games????

Maddy the nerd

Austin ?????

Allyson the Western Witch

Logan the firefighter (the fireman gave him extra candy for his costume)

They all looked very cute in their costumes. Halloween is such a fun time of year, and I love that we have a lot of parties so that they can wear their costumes more than once.

Maddy invited her friend to come along, since mom and dad are not any fun to hang out with.

Ally and her neighbor friend. 2 cute witches!!!!

We can't wait for Halloween Night!!!

Trick Or Treat

Happy Halloween!! We hope that everyone had a fun and safe night. We have had a fun week decorating for Halloween, and attending parties. We started off last Friday at the school's annual Trunk or Treat Night. The PTA did an amazing job, and the kids had a blast. There were a ton of games to play, a spooky haunted hospital, loud music for dancing, yummy food, and of course trick or treating.

Can I have some candy now?

On Wednesday, the kids and I attended our ward Trunk or Treat. We started off with a dinner of Hot dogs & Chili, followed by trunk or treating thru the church parking lot. We met up with some of our cousins and friends, and had a really fun time. I was amazed at how spooky some of the trunks were. Some people go all out, which makes it so much fun.

Yummy Dinner!!

Yesterday, Jeremy and I spent the day decorating his parents house for a night of fright. Jeremy and his family love to dress up in mask's and scare the kids (just the older one's, and sometimes the parents) We set up tombstones, skulls and cobwebs around the front yard. The outside of the house turned out really fun and spooky, and the guys had a blast scaring everyone with the fog horn, talking skull, and fog machine. Not to mention, the several dummies placed in chairs, so it was hard to tell who was real. They only had a few groups of kids that didn't dare come up.

Ghouls and Goblins

Just my Ghouls and Goblins!

While the guy's were home scaring, we walked the kids up and down the streets collecting candy. The kids had so much fun trick or treating with their cousins. And there were a lot of homes with amazing decorations. Logan was also quite a little trooper. He would walk right up to the houses all by himself (even the scary ones), and for the first little while wouldn't ride in the empty stroller that I pushed up the street's. After about 2 hours, he was worn out, and fell asleep in the stroller on the way back to Grandma's.

Dreaming of his basket full of candy!

What a spooky & fun night. It was great spending it with our family.

Happy Halloween!
