We have had so much fun getting ready for Halloween this year. We started out the fun with a night at Gardner Village for Witch Fest with the Jones family and Grandma Terry.
We especially liked this witch because it was a "mining" witch for Tyler.
Here's Grandma with all her little Goblins... I mean grand kids.
Then we spent a morning at the Pumpkin patch. We sat on the different tractors
Then they had this cute Mater Car, so we had to take a lot of pictures by it.
They also had this cute plane from the movie "Planes"... obviously.
Then it was off to pick out our pumpkins.
Daddy had to help Kayla with the wheel barrow.
They also had a small corn maze, so we went through that.
Check out this huge tractor!
My cuties with their "Babies"
That night we colored our pumpkins with markers.
Then the next day we carved pumpkins with Tyler's family.
Tracy and Camden made the Utes pumpkin.
Caden was supposed to be helping me make this pumpkin, but he got bored, so Makayla helped me briefly.
Caden had more fun picking out pumpkin seeds with Grandpa Craig than helping me with his pumpkin.
Daddy and Kayla made this cute Tinkerbell pumpkin and Makayla was so proud of it.
Before we went to bed we lighted up our pumpkins
Caden's blew out before we could get a picture, but check out Kayla's Tinkerbell pumpkin!
The Thursday before Halloween Makayla had her preschool program where parents could come watch some of the songs they have been working on. Obviously Elsa was a very popular costume this year (there were three in Makayla's class alone), but our cute Elsa is the one in the middle.
After their program they got to go back to their class to have a Halloween snack.
This is Makayla's cute class with her teachers. I can't say enough how much I love her preschool. Makayla learns so much there and looks forward to going every Tuesday and Thursday.
Later that day I made spider cookies to take to the grandparents that night.
Finally Halloween day arrived. The kids were so excited to get into their costumes to go Trick or Treating. I think Makayla was dressed in her Elsa dress by 3:30, and didn't understand why she couldn't go get candy right then. To help pass the time, I made the kids pose for a lot of pictures.
And pretend to like each other.
I really think Caden might win in the cuteness department with his "Spida-man" costume.
Brynnli dressed up as an adorable 5 week old. Her shirt says "Don't scare me, I poop easily". Ain't that the truth.
We took the kids trick or treating. We went around most of our small block and then I left to take Brynnli home and hand out candy.
A few hours later the kids came home. They got a serious stash of candy this year. Seriously, that is way too much candy for a two year old.
Makayla spent the rest of the night separating her candy into piles until I told her to clean it up. She refused until I told her the Grumpy Old Troll was going to come and take all of it.
Unfortunately the Grumpy Old Troll did find all of the kids' candy and hid it (and Tyler and I have enjoyed it ever since!) :)
Happy Halloween from our little Goblins!
