Halloween

Our annual pumpkin carving - I try to observe as much as the kids will let me.  It is nice the older they get how much more they can do on their own.  I usually only end up carving out the face they have drawn on their pumpkin then they do the rest.  Bradley is still not sure about the slimy part.  I love seeing the creativity of each child and what they chose to be their design.

Parker did "BYU" on his pumpkin - it looks really cool when lit up.

Johnathan's cool pumpkin.

Camille was going for something that was a little more detailed. She was also great to help Bradley with his as he just scraped the outside to create his picture - he did a bat and a moon.  Camille carved a cool Mario pumpkin.  It really turned out cool.

The school parade is always so fun.  Here are my cute kids while walking around the school.

Bradley with his cute pumpkin after preschool - he was so excited to dress up for school.  He came home with this darling pumpkin.

We had fun making carmel apples.

Parker decorating his yummy apple.

The evening of Halloween was amazing!  The weather was absolutely perfect.  I don't remember it being this warm for a long time.  Most of the kids went out in short sleeves.  I love having happy children because the weather is comfortable.  We always go up to Dad & Mom Beck's house after the kids do our neighborhood.  This year they were out of town, so it was really weird staying home all evening.  The kids were able to do all of our neighborhood and then some.  It was relaxing not having to travel anywhere.  Melissa came and visited us.  It was fun to have her here for a short time.  We went up and visited Uncle Dennis and Aunt Sherlene. 

Carter & Parker

My cute pirate all tuckered out.  Camille was so sweet to take him around and went at his pace.  I loved being able to stay home and give treats to those who came to our house.  It was fun to be surprised with my own children ringing the doorbell every once in a while.

Parker & Carter with their huge stash.  Byron went with them alone and practically ran from house to house with them.  They got so much candy - it was crazy!

Johnathan & Tanner  with their stash also.  They had fun going without any adults along with Kobe Mickelson, Preston Morgan & Trent Hall.  They even hit the neighborhood above ours.
