Halloween!

We got a Halloween package from Grandma Debbie! Everyone was super excited! 
Hunter did not want to hold still enough for me to try and take this picture again. He looked rather serious in his silly glasses :)
Hunter slept on the Sunday before Halloween, when we carved the first two pumpkins. Brylee and Tucker had fun scooping out their pumpkins but didn't last for very long. Hunter was SUPER excited about carving his pumpkin and scooping it out all by himself! Every time anyone asked if he wanted to take a break or have some help he said, "No thanks, I have everything completely under control." It was super cute and he did an amazing job scooping it out. As a mother, it was nice to see that Hunter could stay focused on a task for a half hour or more. That is a super rare occurrance for this super active kid.





Wearing their halloween treasures the boys became pirates and gathered up a lot of treasure on the couch

Hunter was a dog for the ward Halloweem party and trick or treating. He considered being a pirate dog and walking around with a sword and eye patch but thankfully he moved on when it was time to go out.
Brylee was a cheerleader at all times. Thanks to my sister-in-law for the costume.
Tucker was a baseball player for the ward Halloween party and a pirate for trick or treating.
Hunter was Toad from Mario Bros. for the ward party but he didn't really like it. I didn't dress him up for trick or treating since he was just sitting in the stroller the whole time anyway

Here is Tucker in his pirate costume for trick or treating on center st. It was a lot of fun to have a place to go during the day so that I didn't have to take them out at night :)
Here are the pumpkins we carved after having a little plastic surgery. During the hour we were gone trick or treating on center street some children came and ripped the faces off our pumpkins. It was disappointing to see them destroyed thinking that they only had to last another hour before it got dark enough to light them! Thankfully Bryant is handy with tooth picks :)





I dressed Gunnar as a teddy bear for Halloween night since it was cold outside and we were waiting outside for trick-or-treaters.

For whatever reason no one came down our circle to trick or treat. We had plenty of candy, and I even added a lot of what our kids got to the bowl to limit their sugar intake. As a result, those that stopped by got lots and lots of candy because I didn't want it to sit around my house forever!
