Marianne and Aria got to stay until a couple days before Halloween so we decided to carve pumpkins for FHE. The kids went with Marianne to pick out their pumpkins. We clear out a whole patch these days:)
The kids had a lot of fun designing their faces this year. I was in charge of the seed sorting so we could have roasted pumpkin seeds. So yummy! Nana made pumpkin cake too.
Lighting of the Jack o lanterns! Marianne's is the one with the witch hat. They all turned out really cute.
On Halloween day we got to go to the costume parade at the kids' school. The weather was beautiful and it was so fun to see all the costumes. I happened to have the cutest vampire and cheerleader in the whole school.
The parade was at 1:00 so around noon Beckett started asking to get into his Spiderman costume so he could be twins with Sissy and Carter. After looking in all the normal places I began to panic because Skyler and Beckett had been playing with their spidey costumes all weekend. Skyler is slightly obsessed with Spiderman and he had brought down his own costume but he liked wearing Beckett's the most so I called Danielle to see if he had accidently packed it in his bag. She told me she had unpacked his bag and never saw it so I got off the phone and we started looking again. Then my phone rang and when I saw it was Danielle, I knew we were in trouble! She said when she got off the phone she thought she would just ask Skyler to make sure. He told her he had stolen Beckett's costume and asked if he was going to jail. Then when Danielle started dialing my number he asked her all concerned if she was calling the police! It was so funny but so sad at the same time because it was Halloween day and Beckett had no costume to wear. Normally, I would just go through our dress ups and have him pick a new one but all of our dress ups were in the storage unit and there was no way I was going to go pay full price for a cheap halloween costume that would be on clearance the next day.
So Beckett was really sad when we headed to the parade in his regular clothes. I got to talking with a friend we sat by and told her the whole story. She has two older boys and said she had tons of dress ups and that we could come pick something out to borrow after the parade. Beckett was really excited about that.
We headed to her house after the parade and Beckett was thrilled to wear this adorable fireman outfit! I have to say I was secretly really happy Skyler stole the spidey costume because the fireman was so much cuter and our spidey costume is pretty much in shreds.
Skyler felt really bad and called to apologize to Beckett. He also told him he was going to hop on his bike and ride over to return his costume. I don't think he realized how long of a bike ride it is from Provo to St. George:)
After school the kids and I made sugar cookies and they had a great time decorating them and making a giant mess. That night we went to the ward Halloween party and chili cook off. Garrett made corn bread and I made chili. The food was great but I was a little sad because it messed up having our traditional dinner in a pumpkin. We planned on making it later that week, but it just never happened.
How cute is this little Halloween monster?! He barely fit in this 3 month outfit and he turned 2 months old on Halloween. His little toes were almost busting through the feet. He is a very long little man!
After getting tons of candy at the trunk or treat the kids went out with Garrett to trick or treat around the neighborhood. I stayed home with the little monster since he was all tuckered out. He started smiling a couple weeks before Halloween so I was so glad I caught it in a picture!
