Halloween 2012

We've been busy doing halloween/fall related activities lately.  This past week I attended two halloween parties for the kids at school.  We played the mummy game in Cole's class and then I got to read stories and celebrate with Liv's class.  Liv also participated in the school Halloween Parade.

Trick or Treating in our neighbor is done the weekend before Halloween.  So Saturday was the big day.  It was our ward Halloween Party as well.  This year Ethan went as a hobo, Cole went as Frankenstein, and Liv as a witch.

Cole won an award for best child costume and shoveled as much candy in his mouth that would fit for most of the night.  Here he is in the back of our van stopping for a candy break with his friend, Nathan.

We carved pumpkins.

We had a chili cook-off at the ward party and then went trick or treating around the neighborhood...and ate lots more candy.

Then, to top the night off, we went over to our neighbors for a bonfire...and ate lots of candy.

By this time Cole was almost ready to throw-up.  Shawn took him home to shower and get ready for bed, and I took Ethan and Liv home later.  It was a long night, but the kids had a great time.
