halloween

October has been full of fun Halloween & Fall related activities!

Scott, Jackson and I were able to go with Landon on his Preschool field trip to a pumpkin patch, which both boys really enjoyed. They even had animals there! Landon and his friend Katie were inseparable the entire time, and they held hands almost everywhere we went. Too cute!

A few days later, we all went to the Halloween carnival at Hadleigh's school. They had some cool face painting there that the kids all enjoyed. Most of the games were outside in the dark, so we only have a few pictures from the evening.

(Hadleigh's official Halloween costume wasn't ready yet, so we had to improvise.)

The week before Halloween, our church had a Trunk-or-Treat, which was a lot of fun and gave the kids their first taste of all the candy that was in store. Scott and I even ventured to dress up for the occasion!

Two days before Halloween, we went to Hadleigh's school for a Halloween Parade. It was quite a big deal and was fun to see all the cute and creative costumes that the kids had.

We went Trick-or-Treating the night before Halloween, since Halloween was on Sunday and with so many people being religious in Utah it is actually the commonly accepted thing to do. We had candy saved for Sunday, just in case, but not one person came by.

Here are the kids when we just got back from Trick-or-Treating. Scott got them each a few glow sticks to wear which they thought was pretty cool.
