Happy Halloween!

Kylee had so much fun celebrating Halloween this year.  She wasn't scared of EVERYTHING like she was last year and really enjoyed reading pumpkin/halloween books and watching the Charley Brown Halloween show.  Even her favorite show Doc McStuffins had some Halloween episodes!  She loved our bat decorations we put up and was so excited to carve pumpkins!  Halloween is so much more fun when kids are involved :)

Kylee's pre-school group was at our house the week before Halloween so we read Halloween books, learned about pumpkins, did a candy corn mosaic and ate Halloween treats.  It's so cute to see how excited they get when they talk about dressing up for Halloween!

Ammon and Kylee

 James, Ammon and Kylee.  Gotta love that face :) Too bad we missed Suzanna this day.

Later that day we got to carve our pumpkins!  Kylee was really excited at first.  She wanted the big pumpkin to have a happy face and the little pumpkin to have a scary face.  Daddy was at school so I did my best.  As soon as Kylee pulled the top off he first pumpkin she was grossed out! She couldn't get over how bad the smell was.  It was pretty funny.

Austin didn't mind at all and wanted to dig right in!

Our happy pumpkin!

Yup, little pumpkin smells too!

Halloween night!!  The kids ate dinner and were ready to go trick or treating!  We had already gone to the ward trunk or treat and got tons of candy so we just took them around the block for a little bit.  It's starting to get really cold outside!  This year, being on a student budget, I had to be very creative and use what I had in the house to make the kids costumes.  Kylee's costume cost me around $8 to make and the only thing I had to buy for Austin's costume was the brown beanie and the wings (I didn't make those).  I was really surprised he kept his costume on the whole night.

Dorothy and the flying monkey

Our first house (a friendly neighbor) gave the kids fruit!  Kylee started eating the apple right away and snacked on it the entire time trick or treating.  Too funny.

One of my favorite homes on the corner by us.  The kids would race to the door and fight over who would ring the door bell.  ahhh....  kids.

Pretty happy after getting a TON of candy!
