Halloween

Ah Halloween. A time for too many activities and too much candy. It's a good thing I love my children. 

Getting the costume box out for the first time. 

There were lots of different things to try on. After lots of wishing and deciding some choices were finally made. 

Bekah wanted to be Elsa. 

And Caleb wanted to be a dark ninja. 

Actually, when it came down to it, all of these boys decided that ninja was the way to go. Blue, gold, and red. All for one and one for all. 

Trunk or Treat (Cultural Hall or Treat?) at the church was so much fun. 

Rebekah was very polite. 

David loved getting soda as a treat. It was quite quickly inhaled afterwards.  

This has got to be one of the happiest boys I know. So grateful for him. 

Grim reaper ready to go. 

Time to watch a show and eat treats. 

Rebekah and I went to watch the Halloween parade at the boys' school together. She found a creepy chair to sit on. 

Wahooo!!!

Yay!!!

Wowsers! So proud of my boys. 

To add to our already hectic lives we decided to walk around downtown and collect more candy during Springville's walk the block night. These must be their "before" faces. 

You can see Adam's disgruntled face there. He was not happy about the whole walking thing. 

It's a good thing Aunt Kate is there to make life happy. 

I failed to get pumpkins when the rush was on and by the time I got there the only things left were these partially discolored and rotting husks. What an amazing mom moment. Thinking fast, I ran to Home Depot and picked up some spray paint. 

Luckily, the kids didn't seem to mind that we painted them instead of carving them 

They were quite creative. 

Look at that master piece! 

Ooooooo.....

Ahhhhhh.....

There they are. Our perfect Jack O' Lanterns. 

Uncle Joseph decided to buy everyone a king sized candy bar for Halloween. 

They thought it was a pretty good idea. 

That's one happy girl. 

Off we went to trick or treat the neighborhood in Uncle Joseph's trailer. Everyone was so happy to catch a ride down the hill. 

The girls all together. That's alot of blond. Excuse my crazy eyes. Halloween had me on edge.

Trick or Treat!

A fireman for a moment. What a handsome guy. 

These two are the best cousins that ever lived and they adore each other. So grateful to have Andrew in our lives. 

As well as Ruthie Roo who always knows where her bread is buttered. 

Happy Halloween!
