Happy Halloween

This year we had a great Halloween. We celebrated several times and I am not gonna lie, I am kind of glad it is over. Lizzy has been planning on being Rapunzel for a few months which works great for me since I bought her the dress-up for her birthday in June. James chose to be Lightning McQueen, Luke was a puppy, I was a witch and Adam wore a mullet. We started the celebrations by carving our jack-o-lanterns on a Saturday night with G & G Robinson. Lizzy was not too happy at first that we made her clean out her pumpkin, but she was determined that Adam carve her a cat so she did it.

our ward Halloween party. It consisted of some games and a trunk or treat.

 A popular game was "whack a deacon".  yeah...hilarious!

 face or hand painting...bean bag toss, rubber band guns, etc

After the games, we headed to the parking lot for a trunk or treat. The kids made out with a ton of candy and home we went. The kids also joined Grandma and Grandpa R at their carnival and trunk or treat on Sat while Adam and I went out on a date.

Lastly, we celebrated on Halloween by taking the kids trick-or-treating. It ended up being a beautiful clear night outside. We just went to a few houses in the neighborhood as to limit the amount of candy intake. James was hilarious as usual. One house we went to he said, "I can't reach the ding bell". He then proceeded to reach into his pumpkin for a sucker to use as a door knocker. When the guy didn't come to the door fast enough he said, "Hey, I got a whistle" and started blowing (He picked that up at a previous house) Gotta love the kids persistence!
