Happy Halloween!

Just a little kite flying.

The kids were over carving pumpkins after about 15 seconds. Then we let Steve do the rest. 

We went out trick or treating with some friends. The kids were tired after 1 block so we called it quits.

The 350 + pounds pumpkins a couple on my parents street grew.

Halloween Parties

The kids were supposed to dress up as characters from books and bring the books to school.

Checking out the school storybook parade.

Hailey brought in the book Miss Lina's ballerinas.

The kinder teachers dressed up as crayons from the book,  The day the crayons quit.

Steve and Evan stayed for some of the class festivities. I had to go home after my stomach was betrayed by a mango I had eaton. 

Getting ready for the ward Halloween party.

To shy to say trick or treat....must hide behind the bag.

A box from Nana!

 The kids were super excited to get two surprise packages from Nana!

A box full of Halloween crafts....they had so much fun with this.

And a box full of treats! Evan wasn't dressed because he just woke up from a nap so he got cut out of the pictures.

Got to get in some greens before the Halloween sugar binge. 

Lego Spider.

Steve's giant Lego spider from the Lord of the Rings Set.

Got to visit the library.

And ride the train at the farmers market.

A visit to the American Girl Store. We promised her a while ago we would go and she hasn't forgotten. Hailey has taken exceptionally good care of her doll Kit that we bought second hand on ebay for Christmas last year.

Evan and Hailey like to play house. Evan is always the dad. He was excited to find a boy doll in the midst of all the girls stuff in the store.

Hailey loves this doll Mary Ellen because they have the same hair color.

A quick trip to check out baby stuff.

Putting on a show at the book store.

Sad we have to go home.
