Halloween Night

Happy Halloween! Here's what we were up to on this awesome sweet-filled Holiday...

An early start on pies...I'm love sweet potato pie these days. Yum.
 
And a scary breakfast on Monday morning! We had green scrambled eggs (monster brains or something like that...), green protein shake (monster blood?), and Halloween donuts with some banana bread on the side. Can you tell I LOVE breakfast?
Everyone received some fun treats on their plate to play with...






After breakfast we headed over to Joy School where the kids marched in a parade to show off their costumes. The smaller siblings got to show off their costumes as well.ff  That evening we dressed up in our African attire. I was wearing some "hot pants" that David brought home from his mission for his future wifey. Luckily they fit me! He was also wearing native attire from his mission in Mozambique. And the girls were African animals because there's something so very fun about dressing your kids up as animals!





We played a quick game before we went trick-or-treating where the girls had to throw candy corns into tiny pumpkins. Then we headed off to go trick-or-treating and collect LOTS of candy for mom to snack on for weeks to come...The lady leopard

The elephant
and the monkey.
  

Every year our neighbor across the street dresses up as a super tall skeleton and it usually scares Hazel for about five months ("Remember that skeleton we saw...?") So this year he loped over to the front of our house and greeted her gently and took a picture. She's even holding his skeleton hand. We went to the very end of our ward's Trunk or Treat and then spent the rest of the early evening going around our own neighborhood. I can't get enough of this video with our little elephant running down the sidewalk. Reminds me of last year's video where she had a big saggy ladybug bottom that swished side to side when she walked. Like I said, there's a reason most kids' Halloween costumes are animals.


Little Eloise is still the EASIEST baby we've had so far (does that mean she'll be a terror next year?She literally sat just like this the entire night with her little painted nose.

Charlotte knew how to say "Trick or Treat" loud and clear this year and used it to her advantage.
Hazel's favorite thing was the great decorations out on our neighbors lawn.   Our last stop was our dear "Grandma Norma" who lives across the street. We've adopted her into our family since she lives so close and loves to spoil my girls.

Love that tail.


Happy Halloween!
