Halloween Fun

We started off our Halloween Festivities (if you can even call them that) by going to the Pumpkin Walk. It was really neat. This year was my favorite--I think this is only the 4th year they've done it. The theme was something about dreams do come true or something disneyish. The boys had a lot of fun and the weather was really nice the night we went.
Kyden's favorite was the Thomas the Train pumpkin set up. If you look close enough in the picture you can see Thomas in the background.

Carving pumpkins! We carved them at Grandpa and Grandma's house since we have carpet in our kitchen and that would have made a huge mess. Plus they wanted to carve there pumpkins too so we decided to do it all together for FHE.


As happy as Kyden looks in this picture, he did not like touching the insides of the pumpkin--just like his brother. But he sure was proud of his pumpkin that I helped him carve.
Finished product!


And of course, the costumes! Braden was supposed to be a Ninja Turtle but once I bought the costume, he decided he wanted to be Bob the Builder again. I tried to talk him out of it since he was Bob last year, but as parents you learn to pick your battles. Really, does it matter what they dress up in as long as they're happy and will give you a smile like below?! So, I was going to take the Ninja costume back but before I did, I decided to get it out and see what Kyden thought of it since he loves turtles. He absolutely LOVED the costume and played dress up in it the whole week before Halloween. He is my dress up man. Every time we play at my cousins house (who are all girls), he dresses up in something they have whereas Braden wouldn't touch the stuff! Funny and so different!!


Here are the boys with some cousins--the ones Kyden likes to play dress up with. Aren't they all so cute!
We had a lot of fun trick-or-treating! It's amazing how much candy they got even though we only hit probably 8 houses! Plus the weather was calling for rain and cold but it was a beautiful night and it didn't start raining until 10 pm. What a great day! Now it's on to the next holiday!
