We carved our pumpkins for Family Night this week. The kids loved it and loved digging the guts out. The kids picked out a pattern for our big pumpkin and then McCoy wanted to draw his own face on his and then this was Oaklee's first year participating. Pictures are terrible because I didn't realize that the flash wasn't on. Oh well!
This was McCoy's pumpkin. I tried my best to carve his creation. He really liked it and I thought it was adorable.
Not sure about the face Oaklee is making, silly girl.
I think they turned out pretty fun!
And then Halloween day...
Cinnamon rolls are a favorite in our house so I thought I would make some. This was my first attempt ever at making them from scratch. I was so proud of myself and they were really yummy. I even made some cream cheese frosting and dyed it orange .
It happened to be story time day at the Library so we went there. The kids love story time and Oaklee is getting really good at sitting and listening to the stories instead of me chasing her around. They also love to check out books so we took some back and got more.
The adorableness of this picture is just too much for me. My kids are so stinking cute, especially as skeletons.
McCoy has had his costume decided since last year. He really loves spooky scary stuff so he tends to pick out classic Halloween costumes. He even has the next two years decided of what he wants to be. Next year is a vampire (I think) and the next year he wants to be a "blooded zombie" (that's what he calls it). So cute!
Since McCoy decided to be a skeleton and I found these cute jammies, I decided Oaklee was going to be one too. She loved it!
We got a little trick or treating done in our neighborhood early (5:30pm) so that we could enjoy that and enjoy our Ward's trunk or treat. Also there was a break in the clouds and it wasn't pouring down rain for the first time all day. And don't worry, my kids weren't cold. It wasn't all that cold and they each had a whole other layer on underneath their costumes.
In this picture they were trick or treating where he goes to preschool.
McCoy pretty much ran from door to door and Oaklee just causally walked the whole time, and it was driving McCoy nuts to have to wait for his sister, haha!
We really liked the decorations on this house, but unfortunately they didn't answer their door.
Just as we were getting done trick or treating and about to head to the church all our neighborhood friends were starting to head out trick or treating. And it worked out to get everyone in a picture. Cute P (the dinosaur on the end) did not want to be in a picture.
We then went to our Ward's truck or treat which ended up being inside and the kids trick or treated to the classrooms. It actually turned out pretty good. McCoy had a blasts running around with his friends.
The night ended with making a stop at another friends house to trick or treat and then a full on melt down about going to bed. Hubs and I went to bed and said to each other that we were glad Halloween is over for the year.
