Trick Or Treat

Happy Halloween! We had a fun-filled day. After getting up, eating breakfast and getting dressed, the kiddos and I headed to a little party with some friends. It was a great morning full of costumes, crafts, creative lunches, and caramel apple dipping. Camilla went as a bag of flour this year. It was Daddy's great idea! We were going for creative and original, and it was that. Hyrum was a tiger for his first ever Halloween. For lunch we had Monsters (apples, PB and marshmallows), Mummy dogs, and ghosts (cheese strings). We then dipped mini caramel apples. Everyone had a lot of fun!

For dinner, Hyrum had carrots. I thought the orange color was appropriate. I can tell he doesn't love them, but because it's food, he eats them anyways. He'll eat anything!

Soon it was getting dark and we started getting costumes back on. Some friends came over to jump in our leaf pile before trick or treating.  Camilla did a great job of showing her friend how to be brave and jump. Then we decided to go out with them since they were already here. We took off for a spooky night on the town. The kiddos did great considering how cold it was. The wind didn't help, but at least we didn't have any snow! Our first stop was this decked out house (it made the paper).

Camilla was super good at yelling, "Trick or treat" this year. She had so much fun! She was patient at the door while other kids got candies and remembered to say "Thank-you". After a few houses, the "trick or treat" changed to "more please" and I had remind her how to properly beg for candy. 

When the girls got cold, the Daddies went and got the cars and we made our way home.

I had to snap a picture of our little man on his first Halloween. I wish I had done it before we went out. The crying and rubbing of the face on the way home wasn't so good for his nose and stripes. It looks more like war paint than face paint, but the kid is still cute!

I couldn't believe the loot that Camilla got. I'll be sure to take care of the three large chocolate bars so she doesn't get a tummy ache! We missed the few trick or treater's that come out in our neck of the woods. Mr. Stannix's night was made when a couple kids knocked on our door near the end of the evening. They each got huge handfulls of candy. I love that man.
