Trick or Treat


This year Morgan had to work Halloween night. It was a bummer! Lucky for me, my mom and Luis came and came along with us.

Due to Avery's chicken feet, she wouldn't walk. She was either carried or stayed in the stroller. I got a work out that night!

All of the hard work paid off. Here is all of the goodies the kids got.
I didn't feel bad sneaking any candy from them this year. I worked just has hard to get this candy!

The kids got itty bitty pumpkins from the Krums.



Logan fell asleep on the floor after trick or treating. He was tuckered out!

Making faces

Our family loves to carve pumpkins. In years past we have gotten really creative using stencils, tooth picks, and even power tools! This year was low key carving. We used a good old sharpie and kitchen knifes.



Gut it Logan!

Heaven forbid Carson was to get his shirt dirty.

It's tradition to have Nana and Nano over to help in creating our pumpkin family.
Of course if Carson had his shirt off, Avery had to have hers off too.
She sure enjoyed squishing the guts of her pumpkin. She even put the guts back inside of the pumpkin after it was empty.

She even had to give her pumpkin friend a kiss :)

Halloween costumes

You all know I LOVE to make my kids unique Halloween costumes. Here is what the kids were this year.



Carson was a smore.


Logan wanted to be Indiana Jones

Bay was a cupcake

Avery was a chicken.

And what is a chicken without it's yellow feet?
I got so many compliments on Bays cupcake costume and Avery's chicken that I decided to enter the kids into some costume contests.


Morgan heard that the Red Zone was having a costume contest on Halloween day. So I got the kids ready and went and entered them.

1st prize was a $100 gift card
2nd place was a $75 gift card
3rd place was a $50 gift card
And 2nd place goes to.............The Griggs family! Because they couldn't give up more than one gift card they labeled us the buffet family. I had Logan wear Bay's popcorn costume from last year, so technically they kids were all food :)
I also entered them into the Layton City Halloween Bash Costume Contest. Again, the grouped us into the food category lol
Man I better start thinking of next years costumes.

Tradition

For 4 years now it has been a tradition to have a small kid Halloween party for the kids on our street. This year was no different.

Here is Avery digging for a prize in "guts" aka jello :)
Candy corn toss.
The kids had to try and toss candy corn into small pumpkins.

I had Carson wear his Buzz costume to the party. There was no way he could have had a fun time doing anything while wearing his smore costume, especially bobbing for apples.

I love HALLOWEEN!!
