A Spooktacular Halloween!

Halloween day and night was so much fun this year! Makayla seemed to understand it more this year and Caden was just so happy to wear his costume. We spent weeks before Halloween practicing trick-or treating. We would walk around our house and have the kids practice knocking, saying "trick-or-treat, then saying "thanks". They were so excited for the actual day and couldn't wait to go get some candy. 

That morning we got the kids all ready to go to Brooke's house for their daycare Halloween party. 

I think Princess Belle and Scooby Doo are the cutest ever! Caden was hilarious this year because he walked around the house going, "Meow"! We decided he was Scooby-doo with an identity crisis! :)

 Caden was so proud of his costume. We asked him if he wanted the hood off and he got so mad when we tried to take it off.

At Brooke's house they got to have a party complete with musical chairs, candy, and cupcakes. When we got home the kids were so excited to go out trick or treating, but I had to hold them off until Daddy got home from work. When he got home, we loaded up the kids and we were off. 

 We stopped at the first house and the kids were so excited to get candy in their pumpkins.

 Grandma and Grandpa stopped by with some treats for the kids and then they stayed and went around the bock with us to watch the kids.

We thought the kids would only make it around the little block, but they were having so much fun that we ended up going around the big block too. They had so much candy by the end of the night that they couldn't even hold their buckets. Makayla kept telling me her bucket was "too heavy".

When we got back Grandma Kathy was there with some more treats for the kids! The rest of the night Makayla helped us hand out candy.

Halloween was the funnest this year because both kids understood it and had so much fun. Even now, days after Halloween, Makayla is still going around the house with her green pumpkin and organizing all her candy.
