A Snowy Halloween

Halloween snuck up on us this year. There's been lots of crazy stuff happening in the Stannix home this passed week. I am glad we picked up the kid's costumes extra early so we were at least a little prepared. We began the morning bright and early with ghost pancakes for breakfast! Hyrum ate three of 'em, he must be a growing boy.

We then spent the morning gutting and carving a little pumpkin. It was super funny. Hyrum wouldn't touch the insides at all and last year we had to hold him back from eating it. Camilla got right into it this year, so we took our time and let her pick out most of the seeds and goo. When it was all out she started sorting the seeds into a pile of their own. She must take after her Daddy with that organizing brain of hers!

Everytime I take out the camera Hyrum likes to yell "Cheeeeeeeese!" So a lot of these pictures are super goofy. 

When our pumpkin was finished, we named him jack. Hyrum kept wanting to give the pumpkin kisses and hold it. Super funny! The kids were so crazy all day and they hadn't even had any candy yet! It made me laugh though and added some needed humor to my day!

 

After lunch we all went down for a much needed nap. When we woke up the kids got all dressed up in their costumes and we watched for Daddy to come home. When he arrived we all loaded up in the car and went to our friends place for dinner and trick or treating. I couldn't get over how handsome our little superman looked. He had a lot of fun with his little costume!

Trick or treating was crazy cold and I think we only knocked on a grand total of three doors! They were super generous though and gave the kiddos a handful each, knowing how cold it was and that they wouldn't last long. After that we called it good and went back to the house so the Daddy's could get ready to go to Hockey.

We finished off the evening by watching the boys play some hockey. I think the final score was 17-3 or something like that. Mr. Stannix got a hat trick (how appropriate for Halloween). I was able to grab a shot of him with his stick in the air after a beautiful goal from the blue line (be impressed, it's not super easy to watch hockey and kiddos at the same time). Sadly I missed his other two goals!

 

Snow white had fun running around the bleachers with her little friend. They were so hyped up on sugar it wasn't even funny. Luckily there was only two rows and hardly any stairs. Our little super man watched the game for a good chunk of time and then spend the last period climbing around and being all super hero. 

 

When we got home Hyrum was fast asleep holding his sister's hand. Everyone went to bed pronto. Camilla requested to sleep in her costume and put it back on over her jammies. Funny girl. 

Happy Halloween!
