Halloween

Oh Halloween, where are the days where you had a parade of costumes at school and then went door to door in your neighborhood to get candy and that was all? Now we have a Halloween season, there are so many things to do. The pumpkin patch (there are atleast 2 around here that I know of), Boo at the Zoo, Trunk or Treat and our Ward Festival, one of Lana's classmates had a dress up birthday party, people handing out candy everywhere, our neighborhood had a party at the playground (bbq, hayride and trick or treating) and a friend of ours had a party at her house (sorry we bailed Manda! They were little maniacs after all the candy they ate.). It's a little crazy what Halloween has turned into, but I love it. For me it just means the holiday season has been extended another month.

On to the costumes. Do you think Tanner enjoyed his costume? You be the judge.








I can just hear him now, "Mom, why on earth would you put this ridiculous/torture contraption on me?"



Lana on the other hand was excited to be a pink fairy. I never did get a picture with her complete outfit. She had a crown, necklace and a magic wand. You can't tell in the picture but I made her "Tinkerbell hair". She doesn't really like me to do her hair other than one pony tail with a clip on the side. So when I want to do something different I have to make up a story like "it's Tinkerbell hair" or "Princess hair" or something to that extent.



These kids have thoroughly enjoyed Halloween this year, we have so much stinkin candy.



And on a random note, this is a typical picture that you will find multiples of on my memory card. Atleast his hands are clean. My kids have the greatest facial expressions. I wish I could capture them all on camera.
