Happy Halloween!!!

Halloween ended up being pretty easy this year. Carter wanted to be a ninja - costume we already had, Ashlyn was delighted to be a princess - worth every penny, so I only had to make Isaac's astronaut costume - helmet provided by a friend. MUCH better than trying to make four ninja turtle costumes last year!

Here are my munchkins right before the ward trick-or-treat. It was freezing outside, so no one really got to see their costumes, but they had a great time. Isaac was the exception. He refused to wear a coat. (Okay - so our freezing is high 40s, low 50s). Astronauts are not wimps!


Giving their finest poses...

Carter with his friends at his preschool party. Isaac also got to where his costume to school on Friday. We went to his costume parade at the end of the day, but I forgot my camera.


We spent Halloween in Gilbert. We started the day at Bailey's championship football game. It was a lot of fun to watch and get into the action. They played a team that had never been scored on this season. They didn't pull out the win, but they did score. Go Predators!

Cari decked us all out in Predator wear.

After the game, we had a family get-together to celebrate all of the October birthdays and carve pumpkins. 3 of the 7 of us October birthdays were able to make it, plus Madisen, whose birthday is in November, but just a few days away. We enjoyed good food and great company. Thanks Cody and Em for putting it together!

This picture is mainly for Eric's mom, since I couldn't find a recent one last time I tried to send her pictures. Look! He was able to make it to something! :)

Isaac carved his pumpkin by himself, with very little help. I was impressed with how well he did.

Eric and Carter busted out our other one. Ashlyn wouldn't have a thing to do with any of it.

Tah Dah!

All of the pumpkins on parade.

That evening we went trick-or-treating with Cari's kids and a couple of Kimberly's. Nothing is funner than spending time with cousins!

I think this is the first year that I've ever taken my kids real trick-or-treating. But, Ashlyn is the cutest and the smallest, so I only have action shots of her. They had a blast, I was done after about two houses...

...Ashlyn was, too. Eric took her back to Cari's why we tortured ourselves for another hour.

This was just too gross, with the slobber down the chin and everything, not to share.

Happy Halloween!
