Halloween 2012

For halloween this year, we scrapped our first choose of making costumes for another time. Instead I went out and bought the kids costumes. When I came home, I showed them what I got and they were excited to put them on. Andrew went as batman and Kaitlynn went as a butterfly.

Trunk or treat 2012

 This year I went to the ward trunk or treat by myself. It wasn't as bad I thought is was going to be. The kids stayed in the room and were never out of my sight. They ran around and played every game. They had fun winning candy.

 

 

Both Andrew and Kaitlynn did the cupcake walk to win cupcakes. They were really excited to get one.

 

 

Then Grandpa made them both some cotton candy. Kaitlynn was in heaven with hers. But Andrew had a couple bits of his and put it down. He had something better to do.....

 

He had to win a gold fish! Yes a goldfish!

 

 

Andrew wanted his face painted and asked for a bat.

 

Kaitlynn asked for a butterfly!

 

Then Andrew asked for another bat but bigger!! (The yellow and red is suppose to be a sunset.)

Here they are at the end of trunk or treating. Once we were done, we heading back to the car and home for bed. The kids went to bed with their faces painted too.

Carving pumpkins

 Andrew is soo happy about Halloween this year. He has been begging up to get pumpkins all month long. We finally gave in and got some for the kids to carve. When I got home from work we set up our work station out side and went to work. We got small pumpkins and they were hard to scoop out. I did most of the cleaning.

 Once they were cleaned. I gave them both a sharpie to draw their faces.

 Once the faces were done. I cut them out!

The finished products. Aren't they nice? WE did a good job!

School Carnival

 Yesterday was Andrew's school carnival. They had two jumpers for the kids to play on and school run carnival games. Both Kaitlynn and Andrew had a blast running around. They both waited in line so patiently.

 Here they are going through the first course. Kaitlynn was a little too small to climb up the last wall for the slide but she figured it out and was a pro for the rest of the night.

 Here they are going up and coming down the generic blow up slide.

 They both got their faces painted.

 Character of choice were bats.

 Trying to get a good bother/sister picture.

Happy Halloween!!!!
