Halloween 2017

I love Halloween! It's just such a fun time of year when the leaves are changing color, it's getting cooler, and other holidays are right around the corner. We were going to go to a pumpkin patch with a corn maze, wagon rides, and even a haunted house. Being from Idaho we did not anticipate how ridiculously packed it was going to be. Once we saw all the vehicles we decided not to bother since the lines would have been horrendous. We stopped at a pumpkin stand where we picked out some pumpkins, got some honey and produce, and picked out a few Halloween decorations.

We all picked out a pumpkin but by the time we were ready to carve them about a week later, Atreyu's was starting to rot on the bottom. Jesse let Atreyu have his since he wasn't going to have time to carve one anyway. One day while Jesse was at work, the kids and I carved all the pumpkins. The kids cleaned them out and they even helped do some of the carving. I loved how they turned out!

When Cambria saw Moana last year she told me that she wanted to be Moana for Halloween. I thought she would've changed her mind before Halloween came around but she stuck with it and she was the cutest Moana I have ever seen. A couple months before Halloween Atreyu told me he wanted to be the Goblin King from Labyrinth. I was so excited for the idea and I think I ended up loving it way more than he did!

We went to the ward trunk-or-treat party where the kids made a good enough haul of candy to not have to go out on Halloween. That, of course, wasn't an option, however. I was going to take the kids around the RV park for a bit but I didn't think that there would be many people handing out candy. Boy, was I wrong! The kids ended up going around with some of the other kids in the park and they got so much candy that they had to come home and dump out their buckets so that they would have room for more. It was such a fun Halloween!
