Halloween

Before Mike left, we were able to go and find the boys Halloween Costumes for this year. I feel like I haven't been on top of it because I usually have their costumes by September, but this year was harder to find things they wanted. But we made them pick from what Target and Walmart had, and they all walked away happy!

Halloween

This year for Halloween, Gavin was Lightning McQueen, Greyson was a Dragon/Dinosaur and Garett was a Monkey. 

On Thursday the 29th, Greyson wore his costume to preschool.

On Friday the 30th, Gavin had his Halloween Parade, and then that night our ward had a Trunk-Or-Treat that the boys got to dress up for.

And on Saturday, of course it was Halloween. We had Mike's mom down for dinner and after dinner I sent the boys out with dad and grandma to go Trick-or-Treating. They had so much fun and stayed out until 9! (Garett came home at 7:45, he was tired)

Halloween 2015 was a success!

Carving Pumpkins

This year, since the pumpkins didn't last from the pumpkin patch, we went to Smiths and got some huge pumpkins and carved them on Sunday. The boys had so much fun picking their pumpkins, and helping gut them out, picking out their jack-o-lantern design and playing with the lights that go in the pumpkins.

And I am most excited about the pumpkin seeds!

Halloween 2015 (So Far)

We have the boys costumes for Halloween this year, and they are all really excited. They ask all the time if they can wear them. We got Pumpkins from the Pumpkin Patch that Greyson went to for his Preschool Field Trip, but they weren't very good ones and have already gone bad, so we will have to go this weekend and pick some more.  Gavin is going to be Lightning McQueen, Greyson will be a Dinosaur/Dragon and Garett is going as a Monkey!

We had a make a countdown chain to Halloween because the boys have been so anxious for it to get here. Don't worry, it has already been torn down and destroyed, so now we are counting down days by the calendar.

Halloween 2014

This Year for Halloween, Gavin wanted to be Phineas, Ferb and Perry the Platypus.  It took a couple months to find everything to go into the costumes, but it all came together in the end. Gavin was sick the day of Halloween after he came home from school, but still wanted to go Trick-Or-Treating and the boys scored a lot of candy this year and were out until 9:30.

Carving Pumpkins

The Monday before Halloween we had FHE and carved Pumpkins.  I don't have any fun pictures, just these two of as starting to carve.  I didn't even take one of the after. BOO. But we did it this year! YAY!

Halloween 2013

Happy Halloween from The Lorax and The Little Bear!

The boys had a lot of fun this Halloween.  Gavin made a killing on his Trick or Treat candy and went throughout the whole neighborhood.  Greyson got tired about half way through so we came home and he happily sat on the couch, eating a sucker watching a movie.  It was a great Halloween night!

Halloween

As you already know, the boys were Minions for Halloween this year.  We had a lot of fun finding, making, buying and putting together these customes and the Boys loved them.  On Halloween I picked up the boys from the sitters, came home, made dinner.  The boys ate really fast and were itching to get out the door.  We put the costumes on as fast as we could and headed out the door.  We just went around our little block and both boys had a blast (except for a couple mini meltdowns from Greyson because we weren't letting him walk by himself)  We started the night at 6, made it back home a little after 7, took some pictures, bathed the boys and were in bed by 8!  Gavin is really excited to go Trick or Treating next year!  All in all a successfully night!

Halloween Fun-ness

This year when Aunt Cathy was here visiting, we decided to go to the Spirit Halloween Store to walk around and see what we could find to Scare Gavin (He doesn't scare that easily)  When we were in there they had these Stalks that you put your head and hands in like you are being punished.  Cathy and I decided it would be funny to get pictures, and Gavin saw it and wanted to try it too, in the little kiddie one they had there as well!  Aren't we funny? :)

Gavin's School Halloween

Gavin gets to wear his Halloween costume 4 times this year.  Once for Music Class, once for Trunk or Treat, once for Preschool and once again tonight for Trick or Treating.  Here are the Pictures of Music Class and Preschool.  Love this kid:)

Carving Pumpkins 2012

This year was kind of CRAPPY for pumpkin carving.  First, I was sick last weekend so we couldn't go to the pumpkin patch :(.  So Monday on my lunch break I went to Harmons and picked up 4 pumpkins.  Mike got home from work late so we didn't start until 7.  Gavin again didn't want to help {because he didn't want to get his hands dirty} and Greyson was all about getting in everyones business and helping in anyway he can. In the meantime, the boys start getting cranky.  So I bathe them and we put them to bed.  Mike and I cut, gut, stencil, and carve all four pumpkins {one is just a disco ball} right before Mike goes to throw up!  And two of the pumpkins were rotted out and disgusting!  At least we can say we did it and they are done.  The boys loved them the next day!

Trunk or Treat

Last night we had Trunk or Treat for YWs.  It was a crazy busy night with Mike sick and me left to figure out {in an hour} how to decorate the Durango and take the boys by myself.  Here is the boys {the best picture we could get} before the Trunk or Treat and the Car decorated.  It was a great night and Gavin and Greyson loved it.  They can't wait to go Trick or Treating tonight!

Halloween

This year for Halloween we had a "Odie" Puppy Doggie and a cute as can be Elephant! At first Greyson was going to be a Bumble Bee, but we put the costume on him over a month ago & it didn't fit him very well, so we gave that costume to my niece to wear!

Now, let me tell you a little story about a 2 year old who did not want to wear his costume. He fought, and screamed, and cried at even the mear mention of said costume. Finally at about 4:30 Halloween night when some trick-or-treaters come to get some candy, he saw how fun it might be. We later put the costume on him to go trick-or-treating and come to find out there were some pokies on the leg of his costume that we think made it so he didn't want to wear it before. We quickly fixed that problem and off we went to collect candy!

Carvin Punkins

Here is what we carved this year! ANGRY BIRDS! Hope you like them, we sure do.

Halloween

We dressed Gavin up as the same Monkey he was last year, because the costume still fit him! Lucky us! He loved his costume & wanted to stay in it forever. I only took him out to two neighbor houses for Trick-or-Treating because it was raining. He liked getting the candy but was shy. Next year he will be totally into it!

HALLOWEEN

Our Halloween was interesting. Read the next post for the day time fun. Friday was our work Halloween party. We had a "Mad Hatter" party. We all made our own hats to display for voting. We had a raffle & the hat with the most votes won the money. I was 2nd place. Dangit! We had a great pot luck (like we always do) & hardly worked all day.

Saturday night we dressed up Gavin & Bear & passed out some candy to all the little kiddies. Gavin refused to take his early evening nap because he new there was something going on & he wanted to be a part of it. Since we refused to nap, we had to close down Halloween shop early to get him bathed & put to bed. Enjoy our Halloween pictures.
