Halloween Fun

We have enjoyed some Halloween fun this past week.

First we went up to a neighborhood where there is a Halloween House. This person has all these lights to music and all these scary and fun Halloween decorations. By the house they had all these buttons you could push where things would light up or open. I only jumped a few times. I thought they would scare McCall but she was just staring at all the lights and didn't even flinch. This house also does a Christmas house and the Christmas one is more of my type and I like it more since I'm not a fan of scary things but it was fun to go to and see.

We carved pumpkins on Monday for family home evening. Paige did hers all by herself and did a Harry Potter inspired one. Baylor wanted a kitty unicorn and so Nate helped that come to life. I did McCall's. I carved "lil girl" in it and my idea was cutting out leg holes so that she could sit in it but the pumpkins we had weren't big enough at the top. She probably would have hated it but I thought it would be so cute.

We had our ward trunk or treat on Friday evening and it is always a fun ward event and the kids love it. We had a cute and tiny skeleton, a ballerina unicorn, and Hermonie. Dressing kids up for Halloween is always so much fun. I do pretty simple costumes and use what I have around the house but it's always fun to see their excitement for it and of course we all enjoy the candy.

I love these pictures of Paige- she really had fun with it and got into character. And can I say she has the most amazing hair!!! Currently she is reading the 2nd Harry Potter book for the first time and it is fun to talk with her about the storyline and see her excited about it.

Trunk or treat fun- Baylor was a little overwhelmed with all the people and is on the tail end of a cold so she wasn't into it too much but did get quite a bit of candy. 

Anna and Scott always go all out for their trunk and it's always fun to see what they come up with.

Paige hung out with her friend Lizzy and they went around and around and got SO much candy. It was fun to see them together and having a good time.

Then today we had our annual sandwich dinner with Dale and Margaret and Anna and Scott's family. Then we go to the country club where Scott's parents live to do our trick or treating. I love trick or treating there since there are hardly any cars, you get good candy and quite a few big candy bars, and it is very relaxing. We got super lucky this year and we didn't get rained on. Baylor didn't last very long and McCall was getting a little fussy so I went back to Scott's parents house with the two girls so that Paige could get more candy with Eliza and Brett. I love doing this with Anna and Scott and it is always a fun evening visiting with them while we watch the kids go from house or house.

Happy Halloween!!!
