Halloween 2014

 Her majesty and her royal guards.

During this month we have had a couple people in our lives who are allergic to things and Elliot tell us she is allergic to anything she doesn't like. So in the midst of havin gher try on and off costume stuff.. "I am Allergic to England!!"

 We took Paisley and Cole to the ward trunk or treat with us. Cody got to be home. On Halloween actual we did our soup in the garage with a bonfire after

Halloween 2013

We opened our garage up again this year made root beer and soup 

and then trick or treated.

The kids did Napolean Dynamite this year.

 Ezra did not want to be Pedro, so we put a batman shirt under his collared shirt and told him he was Bruce Wayne. Nan helped make Deb's so awesome sleeves, and then we just did an iron on for Rowdy's shirt.

 We just had a little left over black harispray and I wanted to wear a mu-mu so I'm Pedro's mom

 Cody went as the Kiss guy. This is pretty much Cody's favorite purchase this year

 The picture is somewhere, but to carve out our pumpkins Cody put a beater on the end of his electric drill.

 A face only a mother could love

We had a bon-fire in our driveway and the Carmacks & Byrds came over after a homecoming parade.

It was a fun evening.

Halloween 2012

Everyone just had their own plan this year for costumes. Can we just say Yes! to colored Duct tape. helped out a ton.
Rowdy from day one wanted to be Nacho Libre. He watched it once a couple of years ago and i think I really regretted it because of the wrestling aftermath. But he made a great one this year! The wig cracks me up

Ezra just wanted to be something blue. We had to talk him into being a fireman on fire and tell him sometimes fire is blue. He does have a little blue hair color in his hair which he demanded.

Elliot was so cute telling everyone she was an, "oompa woompa" and "Twick ou tweat" and she'd get a "tweat fuh mah punkin!" I have some footage I will have to get. She was seriously adorable running down the street trying to keep up, or just get more candy. She has the best squeal of delight. and yikes she is a super sugar head like me.

Nan was in town and got to see the kids at the trunk or treat. Where Miles won the most original costume. It was so rad. He was the cutest little pot belly sun burned tourist I've ever seen. He looked awesome.

I'm a witch underneath this cute facade :) that's a zipper on my face

Halloween we had our normal garage gathering for soup. We just did chili and homemade root beer and cornbread. mmm. Last minute I decided to paint the bear with glow in the dark skeleton paint. Cody put up a few black lights and we had kids walk into the garage. It was really fun. We had a few impromptu fhe dance parties in the garage with the black lights since...and Cody's fluorescent orange train vests and gloves

 Paige let me paint her face day of the dead-ish. I love those little skeleton people. I thought she looked lovely.. for a dead girl

Livee Ms. Ultimate Supreme Toddler in Tiara helped out our Oompa Woompa

 

A week or so earlier Lynda and I hosted a witches night out. It was really fun

 
Elliot was almost potty trained there for a minute because she wanted a "tweet fwum mah punkin"
I'm about to pull it out again :) she was pretty sad to put the decorations away too. She loved her plate. I made it right before she was born and we weren't telling anyone the name so it still says Sister. She just sat there for 10 minutes. loking at he google eyes saying, "Mah Pwate, Mah Pwate"

Oh and one of my scripture mastery trick or treat games was a triumph ;)
Goodbye Halloween 2012
