Halloween Happenings

We did Halloween up big this year! It was a full weekend of fun! Friday night we went to "J"s school for their fall festival. Our boys were ALL about collecting candy, even if it meant doing a sack race to get to it. But, really let's face it...it is always a race at our house!

The school didn't allow masks so "A" decided not to wear his hulk costume sans mask. Instead he was a race car driver. In fact we had 3 costume changes for "A" this weekend. Each event we went to he wore a different costume that he got for his birthday from cousin Clayton.
On Saturday afternoon we went to our church's First Fest. It is always such a fun event with tons of inflatables, games, and festivities! "J" was such a cute little Superman! He got mad because his muscles got mushed when we buckled him into his car seat! Everywhere we turned people were chuckling at our little man with the BIG muscles!
"A" really showed some natural talent in the baseball themed games! He pitched in this one and swung the heck out of a ball and bat game.
"J" and Daddy had a pretty good system going on while "A" and I waited in line to ride a horse. Daddy let "J" eat a piece of candy for every one he shared with his Daddy. Smart Daddy!
"A" shocked us when he wanted to climb the rock wall. He had always been afraid of anything to do with heights but he was excited to try this! Way to go "A"!
Sunday night we went Trick or Treating in our neighborhood. It was fun to do this for the first time with the boys! This time "A" was Iron Man. Our neighbors went all out with fun decorations, a lot of great candy, and hospitality!
This house definitely won for the most elaborate decorations. The kids went into the castle and it made sounds and blew smoke. Kind of spooky, but oh so fun!

Jeff was really into taking a picture of all the kids' "loot"! They each have a whole gallon size ziplock bag full of candy, but no worries...This mommy and daddy are in control of the bags and apportion out the candy very carefully!
