Halloween

Halloween was a lot of fun this year. We had a ward Fall Party where the kids got to play lots of games and do a little trick or treating inside the church.

On Halloween night we went trick or treating--I know, if anyone pays a lot of attention to what they dress up as every year, you'll notice it's the same as last (well, Tyler was a power ranger 2 years ago) but it was their idea. Tyler and Hailey's costumes are a little small, but they wanted to squeeze one more year out of them.

It was really fun taking them trick or treating. The kids wanted to go trick-or-treating with some friends, so we had the Jones over to our neighborhood. They ended up watching my kids the whole night while I was in the back of the pack slowly moving along with Ashley. :)

Trevor decided he would have some Halloween fun and decorated our garage. It looked really cool but I couldn't find any really good pictures of it, so this will have to do.




This is the front, there's a door cut on either side to walk in and out.



Inside the garage there was like a "U" shape walkway where you walk past a scary looking dummy, then to Trevor for the candy and then out.

In the center of the "U" he had a graveyard with some tombstone's, skulls, ghosts, etc. etc.

Oh, and to top it all off, he had a fogger to fill the garage...but not just any fogger. He made a cooler with a tube to "chill" the fog before it entered the garage. Apparently this is supposed to keep the fog low. It looked pretty cool, but I do like to tease him when he gets ideas like these.

It was a big hit with the neighborhood kids, but in hindsight--I should've stuck around to stand outside and give candy to those poor tiny scared kids. Some are just too young for that. I know my kids were always scared at houses even remotely scary. Oh well, next year if Trevor decides to do it again, I'll remember to stick around for the little ones.
