Halloween


We had lots of fun this Halloween, mostly because there was no snow and it wasn't insanely cold as in years past. We went to a halloween party where we saw amazing costumes: robots, cats, witches, technicians, princesses, tinkerbell, peterpan, captian hook, and tiger lily. Our family dressed as M&M's we were only able to get one picture and it turned out blurry. The boys were more interested in playing than taking pics! I also tried to bake a Dinner in a Pumpkin. I couldn't find the recipe when I went to the store so I didn't have all the right stuff. Lets just say mo's substitutes weren't the greatest. It was fun anyways. On halloween we went to a trunk or treat. Then went to a few houses up the street with Tanner's friend. On our way home we had planned to go only to Tanner's friends houses in our complex. However when we got home he saw his friend who had just started so we ended up going around to our whole complex. Let's just say our kids made out like bandits and we have WAY TO MUCH candy. We defiantly had a melt down when it was time to put the candy away. All in All it was great fun. Even Brayden/Mo did great trick or treating.

Cute M&M's! That's neat that you're in charge of playgroup too! We trade off with a couple other mom's in our ward, so I'm in charge about once a month. We've gone to the zoo, on a nature walk and collected leaves, the firestation (which was a big hit and the firemen were happy to do it too which was a bonus!), we've made potato stamps (cutting out diff. shapes out of potatoes and letting the kids dip them in paint and stamp them on paper), and other crafts. We try to do a craft or do an activity, like the zoo, etc. for every playgroup. It takes a lot to plan sometimes, but it makes it fun for the kids, and I love the crafts that we come home with! Good luck and if you need more ideas, let me know!

Nice pumpkins, we didn't ever get around to carving ours. They are still sitting on our front porch!

Impressive Pumpkins. We haven't even tried that yet. Maybe next year. :) Wow! That was a lot of candy. I'm ashamed to say our big stash is almost gone and I helped eat a good share of it. Very cute pictures. I'm glad you didn't feeze this year!
