Halloween 2018

We started off Halloween festivities with our annual neighborhood Halloween parade. Mommy was gone at another event and Daddy took the kids and grandparents to the parade. Before the parade started Tommy collided with another kid and hit the pavement face first. He had a bloody nose and costume. Some neighbors let Tommy clean up at their house. It was very sad. Daddy has pictures on his phone that we haven't loaded to the computer so pictures from the parade will have to wait.

The kids did their own pumpkins this year. They turned out awesome. Annie's barfing zombie pumpkin was the family favorite this year.

It gets so windy here so our jack o lanterns blow out quickly. We need to figure out a way to shelter them so they can glow all Halloween night.

Mommy got to go to the annual Zumba Halloween party. It was 90 minutes of good exercise and fun. This year I also helped decorate the Zumba studio. Joey had fun running and dancing all around the huge floor while we put up the decorations.

On Halloween day Mommy and Joey helped in Annie's classroom party. It was so fun. We brought an eyeball relay game and a pumpkin bowling game. After school we visited Daddy's office and our pediatrics clinic for some early trick or treating.

 We visited some families in the ward who live outside of our neighborhood before our neighborhood dinner and trunk or treat.

 It was a windy chilly night. But that didn't stop the kiddos from their pursuit of candy.

After our neighborhood party ended, the boys went home with Daddy and the girls visited a vew more families in the ward.

 Totally worth the extra trick or treating time. The girls were so proud of their haul.

 Once we all had pajamas on, the kids started playing with their glow sticks from the neighborhood party. Who knew glow sticks could be so much fun. We all played together in the dark telling stories and doing tricks with the glow sticks. It was Mommy's unexpectedly favorite part of Halloween.

The kids went to bed that night so exhausted. Happy Halloween 2018. We just might make bed time glowsticks a Halloween tradition from now on.
