Halloween

We had a LOT going on for Halloween this year. Is this how it is once school starts!? Parker had a preschool Halloween party. He LOVES preschool and really likes his teacher Ms. Karen. Here he is pinning the bone on the skeleton:

These are all iPhone pics, so not ideal (I know...here's where you insert the joke about the first kid getting all the good pictures and the younger kids getting shafted!).

Parker dressed up as a policeman:

Sitting across from his buddy Mason.

We carved the pumpkins we picked at the pumpkin patch. Parker's was really cool:

Putting up decorations. I have no words for this picture...

Parker's werewolf:

Landon's vampire, Daddy's Frankenstein and Mommy's "luna"

All lit up:

Then there was the elementary school trunk or treat. Parker was a policeman again (yes, the hat is way too small) and Landon was Jack Sparrow:

Their mustaches were mostly worn off by this time, but still pretty funny:

Then for our ward Halloween party, we were a family of Things!! Rhys' romper says "Thing 3". I tried to make Rhys his own blue hair, but I didn't have enough time to finish it! So...it looks a bit like Friar Tuck, but you get the idea right?

Then we got to real Halloween. Landon was saving this costume for Halloween day! Since there were no masks allowed at school, he asked me to paint his face. I copied the face paint he had done at Disneyworld last year - It was a much simpler version, but I think it turned out pretty good!

SO excited to go to school!

I got to volunteer at the Halloween party. Landon really liked these Frankenstein cupcakes (when I say "liked", I mean that he thought they looked really cool....but thought they tasted awful. Touche).

Sitting with his little friends:

Parker, of course, wanted to be a skeleton, too for trick or treating!

My two little skeletons (Landon looked at this picture and said "Ooh, maybe I shouldn't really smile like that. It looks awkward")

I loved trick or treating this year with them - it was hiLARious to watch them run their little tails off to get as much candy as possible!

The haul:

Someone was snitching in the car...

To the showers! Landon called me in to check if he got it all off his face....yeah, not quite.

They thought the perma-eyeliner was fantastic.

What a fun Halloween!
