Halloween

Halloween this year was fun and event-filled. It began with our annual hunt for the perfect pumpkin. I had good intentions this year of getting out to a "real pumpkin patch", but between sick kids and a busy schedule it never happened. Luckily we have place just down the highway that is a makeshift pumpkin patch. Pumpkins were chosen, paid for, and we were back home in about 15 minutes.

Sammy had her costume parade and party at school. She dressed up like a Twister game this year. Unfortunately, Noah was sick this year and missed his school party.

The weather was warm and beautiful on Halloween, so we were able to go outside and carve pumpkins. Unfortunately I failed to get pictures of the finished pumpkins.

Mike and I had a Halloween party of our own to attend this year. The plan was for me to dress up like Red Riding Hood, and Mike to be the Big Bad Wolf. Mike thought it would be much more fun to change it around. We ended up winning the costume contest.

Our ward held a trunk or treat at the church. Sammy and Noah had a great time getting an early start on their candy stash. Noah dressed up like the Bumblebee Transformer this year.

We continued our Halloween dinner tradition of having a pumpkin shaped pizza. This was followed by lots of trick or treating around the neighborhood and adding to mass amounts of candy we already had. We missed Megan this year who has decided that spending Halloween with her friends is much more fun.
