Halloween 2012

I'm a little late in posting things from October but here are some pictures of Halloween night! We went over to Drea's neighborhood and we hadn't planned it but our kids' costumes really went well together! Liam was a knight, Sydney a princess, Scarlett a witch and Jonas a dragon! Worked well! Then Uncle Ian was an executioner. Now, Tessa, Brian and I were nerds and Tessa asked how we went along. I said that we were nerds playing Dungeons and Dragons and the kids were our role-playing characters. I think that works!!

Some hilarious pumpkins we saw

Even Drea's dog Eva was all dressed up for Halloween! But poor puppy, no one was handing out doggy treats.

The stash! Jonas' bucket was filled to capacity more than once and we would dump some in Sydney's bag to make more room! When Sydney and Liam complained of having to carry their heavy trick or treat bags, we knew it was time to go home!

Jonas was pretty slow moving. I think he and Scarlett found the decorations more interesting than the idea of candy. We got him to say at least "Candy please" wherever we went. 

A very fun Halloween! I know the kids had a blast!

Ward Fall Festival

Sydney and Jonas' first chance to wear their costumes was for our ward's Fall Festival. They had a blast! I was really surprised that Jonas would keep his costume on, even the head part! As I would get him dressed in it, he would say "head, head". So he definitely liked that part of it! He also LOVED getting candy!

Sydney especially loved the cake walk!


Here are the kids decorating their pumpkins before the fall festival. We had them sit outside our door as we handed out candy.

Here is Sydney with her friend Peyton!

Jonas waving hi to everyone.

Sydney having some fun fishing!

And there I am as a nerd!

And here is Sydney doing a mash-up of some costumes! She got this wedding playing dress from her Aunt Drea on her birthday and then she decided to be a super bride!

Here are some more shots of Sydney and Jonas, this time before they went to a Carnival at their cousin Liam's school.

And here's a video of them saying Trick-or-treat. It was easier for Jonas to say "Candy, please".
