We have had a fun Halloween season!
The kids made a spooky house,
yummy chocolate dipped pretzels,
and masks galore.
At the kids school they had a Spooktacular. It starts with a costume parade.
I love how shy little Kaleb has attached himself to Seth during the parade.

I love how shy little Kaleb has attached himself to Seth during the parade.After the parade, all the classrooms are turned into fun activity centers. The kids had a donut eating contest, played plinko for candy bars, bowled with pumpkins for prizes, tossed rings over soda cans, bean bag tosses, spook alleys, crazy maizes, made cotton candy and ice cream and partied for a couple of hours.
It was a blast. That night we had a party with our ward. Our family won a prize for our cupcakes. We took nutter butters and covered them in white chocolate and made them look like ghosts. We put them on green coconut (grass) covered cupcakes with little pumpkins. They were darling and I can't believe we didn't get a picture. They had lots of games there. My Laurels and I were in charge of face painting- that was my first time and I think I did a pretty good job. :)
On Friday, Brigham's staff was hoping that he would dress up. He did not disappoint. When he got out of the car you could see them all cheering from the window. He is the tall one in the back with the blond wig.
Halloween night we went swimming and had a BBQ. Then we headed home and dressed up.
Kaleb was Jango Fett.
Kai was a sweet little monkey. Katry and Seth were cowboy/cowgirl. Katry was a mad scientist at the school party- but opted for a low-key, easier to see out of outfit for trick or treating.
I have always prided myself on having never gone trick or treating- since my parents didn't allow it when we lived in Arizona. Since then I always stayed home and handed out candy so that I wouldn't ruin my record. This year- Brigham insisted that I head out with the kiddos. I think he just wanted to stay in and watch soccer. We loaded up on candy. I just realized there are two things we didn't do this year that we usually do. We didn't take a picture with the kids surrounded by candy and we didn't carve pumpkins. I admit, I don't miss the pumpkin carving- but I love the candy picture. We hope you all had a festive Halloween.

Fun Halloween! You guys are always so creative in your activities. Lincoln was a monkey, too! I wish we could have taken a picture of him and Kai together. And you can tell Katry and I almost cried tears of joy as well when I heard you were having a baby girl. Congratulations!!!!
Looks like fun! Good thing you broke that tradition of not going Trick or treating! You have been missing out on such Fun! Happy to see Dr. Redd dressed up! You look Great! Looks like a Good Halloween filled with lots of Fun and goodies!
Congratulations on a soon-to-be new baby girl!! YAY for Katry!! Is Kai really old enough now to be a big brother? I guess that means Stella is getting older too! Your Halloween looks like a blast and we didn't carve pumpkins either at our house and I didn't miss it one bit. I wouldn't mind if we never carve pumpkins again. Maybe.
