Halloween 2009

I said to myself, "this year we'll keep it simple!" With the boys in 2 different schools, church parties and the actual holiday itself, simple was out the door. The last 3 days have been jammed packed, with sugar induced fun.
Logan's kindergarten class walked across the street on friday in their costumes and went trick or treating at the gas company here in Royal Oak. (The pile of candy in the middle is his loot from that adventure.) He came home and pulled out his bag of candy and I about died. It would have taken me hours of walking through springville and mapleton to get that much candy and he did it all in about an hour. He was so proud of his pile too.

Friday night was also our ward Trunk or treat which is always a fun thing to go and do. It's fun to see ward member's let loose and dress up. We did have a couple of interesting costumes that I wish I would have gotten pictures of. One couple were Adam and eve and wore skin colored costumes with leaves in the appropriate, or inappropriate places, you decide. 3 car's were handing out full size candy bars and Porter came home with 6. He quietly walked back and forth through the cars and came home with a ton of candy. So we sorted through the candy and threw out the kinds that aren't worth having and I bought some of the good kind from them to put away for a rainy day for me:)

Grandma Bishop sent us a Halloween package and insdie was this "totally awesome Spider Man oufit." Porter immediately stripped down and put this one on and wore it the next day as well.

We went a got pumpkins to carve and toasted pumpkin seeds which I had never done before.

I absolutely love the fall background for any pictures outside. I especailly of love the orange of pumpkins, I just think it's so pretty.

On thursday Porter got to have a Halloween party in his preschool class. His costume was dirty from Logan's school trunk or treat, so luckily his costume from last year fit him and he was happy as a plum to be wearing it. Although he was pretty sweaty when school was over.

So to say the least I'm happy that Halloween is over and looking forward to November, one of my favorite months of the year.
