Halloween 2009

I had so much fun with Halloween this year. It was so nice to be back in good weather for this holiday. I love not having to be bundeled up so much that you cant even see the costumes.

The kids school had a little carnival and all the kids were supposed to bring a carved pumpkin to add to the pumpkin walk. They lined up all the pumpkins in the big field and put glow sticks inside. It really was the coolest thing. It was pitch black in the field and all you could see was the glow from the pumpkins...awesome!!

This was Noahs. He did it all by himself for the first time ever. Unfortunatly, it got dropped on the way outside to take pictures and I sware, Noah thought it was the end of the world. I have never seen such devastation in my life. That kid is all drama.



Tyson was such the helper. He wanted to do it all himself and he really tried, but daddy had to take over and he just collected the seeds.

Here is the final product for Ty-bo. He wanted everyone to know whos pumpkin it was. I wish I had a picture of the pumpkin walk, but sadly I forgot my dang camera. Of course.




My sister in law Jackie always goes way out for Halloween. She plans her costumes months in advance and pretty much makes them from scratch. This year she had a theme for the whole family..classic monsters. She was going as the bride of Frankenstien and she asked me to do her hair for thier ward party. Im pretty happy with how it turned out.


We teased it to death and then spray painted it black. Once it dried, we painted on the white stripes. I think she looked awesome.




I just loved Jonas's costume. So original and she made this from scratch. Its just sickening, her talent.



Our ward also had a Halloween party. They always go over the top and the kids have so much fun. We used to come to this party before we moved to Utah just because it was so fun.
Lani and Abby


Tyson asked me to take this picture because he thought it looked like he was flying.
(I scored on his costume...5 bucks at Goodwill the day before this party.



They also had a bounce house that she would not get off of the whole night. I had to climb in and grab her. Poor little kicking and screaming Tinkerbell



Tyson joined in the jumping fun too!


They had so many fun games and ways to get more and more candy...just what we need!!






Halloween night was so nice. The weather was perfect and all the kids looked so cute.
Here is the whole gang...Maddy, Jake, Noah, Lani, Tyler, Caleb, Avery, Tyson
Isnt it funny how all the older kids were all dressed in black? Totally not planned





Avery was so excited to go "twick or tweeting" until some scary looking kids came down the street and then it was all over. She wanted nothing to do with it. She backed up into the corner of the truck and wouldnt come out.



I bribed her with some candy and then we saw the sweet little girl come back


Noah thought he was pretty scary. It actually was a pretty freaky costume when it was dark.


Maddy and Noah


Lani chose to be a scary girl vampire. I told her she could be whatever we found at Goodwill and we got lucky with the cape.


Lani and Abby



Avery got the hang of it once she realized what the prize was. She couldnt believe she got to kepp all this candy


Avery got pretty tired after about 5 houses and ended up on daddys strong shoulders-thank goodness for those.



Tyson came running home after a few houses and had the best idea-he wanted a scooter so he didnt have to walk and he could go to more houses that way. A few other kids picked up on the idea and before we knew it half the neighborhood was weaving in and out of the houses


Dont you love Spidermans flip flops? Im sure he can climb all sorts of buildings in those =)


My sister in law Debbie had a Halloween party and she had these nasty gummy body parts. The kids thought they were the funniest thing and pretended to eat them saying all sorts of disgusting things. They seriously thought they were so funny.







Avery passed on the body parts and stuck to the chocolatly cupcake goodness. Thats my girl!!





The boys didnt stay out long and once they realized that it was way more fun to pass out candy and look at all the cool costumes, they were done. Fine with me...less candy I have to take away.



Avery decided that she had had enough of Tinkerbell and decided she wanted to be a puppy for the rest of the night. She just had fun hangin out with unkie


Since they didnt stay out too long, the boys thought they got jipped on their candy so they tried to steal candy from our bucket. Nice try boys!!



They gave up and decided to have a scary dance party instead. What a way to end the night!!

Good times!!
