Happy Halloween












We had a great Halloween. First we went trunk or treating at our ward building.
The kids were SO excited. Especially Livy. She was Tinkerbell (thanks for the costume Labelle) and she got out of the car and started running to people and saying "Tinkerbell, Trick or Treat!" Brandon was a frog, a costume I guess he has had for a while but is emotionally attached to, and adorable. Finn was Cosmo, the BYU Cougar. Uncle Cory bought him the cougar head at the UNLV/BYU game. Finn chose it over a football and blue hair. He thinks he caused the Cougs to win because he put the hat back on right before the cougars intercepted the ball in the last play! The costume was very popular/unpopular at the church. Porter was a hippie. Gotta love the ‘fro. Eric was a Samurai, and Kirk Jr. was a very nerdy nerd.

We let them go around and around the church parking lot, and then finally headed back home some pictures and more trick or treating.

We told the kids that if a house’s lights were off, that we wouldn’t go trick or treating there. Livy would run from house to house yelling, “lights on GO, GO!” After going for a while the kids’ bags were so heavy that they started putting them in the wagon in between houses. Livy heard Eric ask if we could go home. She said, “NO, I need more candy.”

How could we resist that little cutie. We did keep going, and we definitely got more candy!

I forgot to take pictures of them carving pumpkins, so you won’t get to see the 2 Indiana Jones pumpkins (Finn and Brandon) complete with hats and whips, and Spock (Eric) with pointy ears.

Also I did not take pictures of us doing the corn maze, because it was dark when we went there. The boys LOVED laying down in the maze (covering their glow sticks) and scaring me when I walked by. It was so fun, and we loved the hot donuts at the end.
