Halloween 2014





Fall!  Glorious fall.  It's been beautiful and fun around here, and Halloween was all about Avenger super heroes this year.  After going through several ideas of what to dress up as this year, the boys made it easy on me and liked the ones at Costco just as well as anything else.  Yay for easy costumes!  They were really excited, and although they haven't actually seen the movies, they love the characters and I showed them a bunch of movie previews to get them psyched. 
The ward trunk or treat was simple and nice. The boys had fun, and as always they came home with loads of candy.  Our trip to the pumpkin patch was filled with pig-petting, games, slides and rubber duck racing.  We carved our pumpkins a couple of nights before Halloween and this year we actually let Asher do his own, knife and all.  They all came out really great, and one of the pumpkins was even grown in our backyard (the one Corey is holding)...our little pet pumpkin we'd check on every day, now all grown up and carved on the front porch.  Ahhhh.




On Halloween night, Kayla came over to hang and help us out with trick or treating.  We did the annual chili and cornbread and had some pumpkin cake after trick or treating. The King family trick or treated with the kids too, so our little band of boys was off and running for the loot as soon as they had the chance.  I can't believe how big my boys are getting.  I still have flashbacks of Beck's little bobbing lion head and tail from a few years back as toddled from house to house.  Too fast...they grow up too fast!  I'm glad they're still small enough that we can go out with them and watch it all.  I just love my little super heroes.

Fun costumes, fun food, fun night, and now lots of candy to try not to eat:)  Happy Halloween!
