Halloween 2010!

Halloween started off at our house on Thursday when both Halle and Daxton had their school Halloween parties. Daxton went all dressed up to pre-school as Spiderman (minus the mask) and Halle chose to be Alice in Wonderland. Later that day, Daxton and I got to watch Halle's school parade, which was fun to see so many people dressed up in costumes (parents, teachers, and students).

Classic Spiderman pose!



It was a very cold and windy day. Last year the parade was inside, so I didn't expect them to have to walk around outside. I didn't have Halle dressed very warm and she told me later that she froze the whole time. Poor thing.

Halloween morning (well, Saturday Oct. 30th) - We got the kids each a cute Halloween book and a few treats and fixed them a fun breakfast with pumpkin face pancakes. Unfortunately all of the kids got sick the night before and so were suffering from fevers, coughs and runny noses. So we decided to take it easy during the day.



Every time Daxton put on his Spiderman costume, Presley was all over him, giving him lots of loves and kisses. She must have a thing for Spiderman. It was so funny to watch. Thankfully Daxton loves being mauled.

Showing off his muscles is another favorite thing of his.

Sisters! Girls are so much fun to get dressed up. But it sure makes me appreciate being able to throw a mask over my little guy's head!
Getting ready to head out into the rainy/hail-stormy night.



Cory helped the kids carve their own pumpkins last week for FHE. They each chose the face they wanted. Daxton's is the spooky one in the back, Halle's is the happy one on the lower step, and Presley's is the goofy one on the top step.

We got about 3 houses into trick-or-treating when the rain and hail hit so hard we had to make a run for it. Once safely home, we put our Happy Halloween goody plates together and took a drive in the car, delivering our treats. By the time we got home, the hail had stopped and the rain lightened enough that we could finish out our neighborhood. But we kept it short and fast this year. The kids still had a blast and were good sports, even though they didn't feel well.
