Happy Halloween 2012

Halloween was a lot of fun this year. The Monday before Halloween we carved pumpkins, which we had never done before as a family. Dayna wanted hers to be sad, and Ethan wanted his to be mad. This was a quick project because the kids needed to get to bed, so don't judge our pumpkins too harshly!

On Halloween, Dayna had her dance class. They got to wear their costumes to class, and take treats for everyone in the class. They practiced for about half of class, then the parents got to go in and watch them do their Halloween dances. Then they all had treats. Everyone gave us extra because I had Ethan and Chelsie with me. Score!
The night of Halloween we went to the church for a little party. First we were inside and they had games all set up for the kids- things like a ring toss, pumpkin bowling, etc. Then we all went out in the parking lot for some trunk or treating. I think the kids really had fun, and they got way too much candy, which I have eaten a good majority of. The first pictures are some "action" shots at the party, then the rest are from the next day when I made them get back into their costumes so I could take some pictures.

Pirate Ethan won the award for best kids costume. He got a certificate and a $10 gift card to Chick-Fil-A

At the Park

Some of the women with young kids in our ward get together every Wednesday morning at the park to let the kids play together. I wish I was with it enough to go every Wednesday, but I'm not. However, we did go recently on a day that was very cold. Here are a few random pictures from our trip to the park.
