Our Halloween happenings

Wonder Woman (4 months)

Batman (2 years)

Superman (almost 5) He added daddy's hat for the picture, he didn't wear it trick-or-treating

Getting ready to go trick-or-treating


Of course we had to be sad about something before we had fun


Heading out!
Trick-or-treating in our cul-de-sac was a bust. No one was home, or they didn't have candy
Yes, it was 70* when we went out!
Ewww, YUCK!
Captain Cool came to carve our pumpkin

My favorite quote from David, "it is hard to cut a circle with a knife".
Nathan REALLY wanted to help carve the face
This year Nate actually helped take the pumpkin guts out.

We have had a very busy but fun Halloween season. Here are some pictures of our fun!
Our Trick-or-Treating started out as a bust, but we came home with full buckets of candy. When we knocked on the Acree's door (a couple from church) Nathan invited them to come knock on doors with us, so they tagged along with us. It was a lot of fun! Nathan kept saying Come on Sister Acree, it was so sweet. (They have grand kids, but none of them live close by so they really enjoyed spending time with our little ones). Nathan kept inviting them to stay with us, until Monday because then he has to go to school.
Nathan also was very sweet to the people we saw, he would give them some candy out of his bucket after they would give him some candy. One family didn't have any candy to hand out, and the mom was apologetic but Nate gave them some candy so they would have some. Our sweet neighbors Kaylee and Scott always have cute little gifts for the boys. This year they gave them superhero cups with candy and glow sticks. (Kaylee had on a super cute shirt with a skeleton and a baby skeleton on it to announce they are expecting!)
We had a lot of fun and came home with some very happy but sleepy kiddos!

We held our second annual Halloween party on Monday for Nathan and his friends. We had a good turn out of kids, 9 plus Nathan and AJ. It was a busy hour and a half! A lot of the kids came in and went right to the basement to play and the others kept asking to play LEGO Batman. We were able to get them all together to play some games. We played pin the face on the ghost, glow ring toss and Halloween bingo, plus we made a craft. It was a lot of fun. Here are some of the pictures.

Playdate at the pumpkin patch
















Our ward had playgroup at Berry Patch Farms today. I took Anderson and Tessa while Nathan was in school. It was only a hayride that took us out to the pumpkin patch, we looked at the pumpkins and then took the hayride back. Aj had a lot of fun picking up all the little pumpkins only to put them down because he found another one and another one and another one. He also enjoyed climbing on and around the big ones. I tried to get some cute pictures of Tessa, it was a little difficult since she isn't sitting up yet. The best part was we got two free little pumpkins and two little cups of apple cider, AJ loved the cider.
