Halloween.

After school on Halloween we quickly got dressed in costume and took some pictures of the GI Joe Ninja, Batman and his sidekick Robin.   You may notice that between the different Halloween activities that we did this year, the boys were several different characters!  They had a hard time deciding just what they wanted to be.

We had a bit of a dilemma as to what to do on Halloween night because not only was it trick-or-treating, but it was also the boys' Awana party.  Trick-or-Treating started at 6 and the party was at 6:45.  We told them that they could trick-or-treat for a little while and then go to the party or just do trick-or-treating.  I was a bit surprised but they both DEFINITELY wanted to go to the Awana party.  So to give us a little more time Trick-or-Treating we went to Hy Vee to do their Halloween trick-or-treating first at 4.  The boys had lots of fun and even got to make a pumpkin cookie and pose by a bunch of pumpkins.  We had a quick supper and then headed to Great Grandma's house.  Of course she spoiled the boys with handfuls of candy, cups of cookies and a few oranges to add something healthy :).  

Then we headed to my parent's house to say Happy Halloween to Grandma.  And then it was time to go trick-or-treating!  We started at the "spooky" house that is close to our house that goes all out in decorating. We wanted to be sure we got to it - we walked up and down the houses near this one and then it was time for the party.  Once again we asked the boys if they wanted to keep going and get more candy, but the answer was NO!!  

So off to the party we went and the boys had a BLAST.  They had tons of games set up and lots of candy to be won.  Of course we stayed until the end of the party - and left with bags full of candy and treats - and like 6 cupcakes from the cupcake walk. 

What a fun Halloween!!
