We tried a new pumpkin patch out and loved it so much more than all the others. Seth wasn't feeling to swell that day but he was a trooper and picked out his pumpkin anyway.
These two girls wanted one that was a little different so they wandered the fields looking and finally found some good ones.
We also picked up a few gourds which the kids thought were pretty cool.
Luke really wanted a picture of just him on this huge pumpkin. Good thing he's super cute!!
The weekend before Halloween we attend an adults only (and no it's not risque) Halloween dance party. It is an absolute blast. We LOVE going every year and it is a requirement that you have a costume.
Natalie came with us this year and boy did the nerd costumes work awesome. No matter how we danced it fit. Love that!! We got so sweaty that we all had to take a shower when we got home but man did it feel good to be crazy for a couple hours.
Seth and Sarah were carving their pumpkins for mutual so Luke, Natalie, and Kathryn carved theirs while Seth and Sarah helped them and sorted out seeds, Sam made dinner and I made cookies.
They spent hours picking out their designs but after finally settling on their choices we carved away.
Luke decided to cut off the bottom so it would work better for lighting candles.
Natalie getting into hers.
Kathryn working on her design.
Seth helping Luke.
Two of the finished products. I completely forgot to take pictures of everyone elses :(
We didn't have school on the day of Halloween and it was awesome. Plus I really nothing to do with the kids costumes. They decided what they wanted to be and how to make it happen and all I did was hair and make-up. Perfect low stress Halloween. My favorite!!
Luke was "a army guy"
Sarah was an "Indian Princess"
And Kathryn was "Raggedy Ann" (she sewed most of her costume and was absolutely tickled pink with how it turned out!!)
We combined with another ward to do a trunk-or-treat that night and it was wonderful. The kids were in heaven. I handed out candy in our decorated trunk and it worked out wonderful.
Seth was too busy out with friends to participate much, tis teenage hood, I guess....
Our good friends the Brownlees were awesome. Their family theme was amazing!
This was the trunk right next to us. There is a man hiding in there and would scare the beejeebies out of the kids. If you were brave enough to grab the king size candy bar then lucky you. Luke did it and was so proud of himself!!
Happy Halloween!
