I love Halloween! Dustin really dislikes it. However, I think I am winning out with Jack! Jack really seemed to enjoy Halloween and everything that goes with it: the cookies, the treats, the decorations, the dressing up, the Halloween shows, etc! Anyway, we had fun doing lots of Halloween activities. Here is Jack making some sugar cookies. He would get a little crazy with the sprinkles, but we made some fun, yummy cookies!
Jack actually got to have two costumes this year. From the beginning he said he wanted to be a lion. There was NO changing his mind. Well, we couldn't find a lion costume, and to order them on ebay was too expensive...but finally we found one, or at least a vest and mane on Target.com. So we ordered it a week before Halloween...it didn't come all week so I bought him the bee costume he found at Kmart that was 50% off. The lion did finally arrive Saturday afternoon, so he got to wear each costume to two different events!
Here is my cute dragon and bumble bee! I love Zander's face in this one!
Our first activity was Friday night. We headed to the Union building on campus to do a Safe Treat! Jack went with is friend Phoenix. His mom also has a new baby, so we had fun trying to control our boys and maneuver our strollers in the madness! Here is Jack doing one of the activities!
Our next activity was Saturday morning. We met up with our fun neighbor friends for some Trick or Treating down town at the local businesses. Here is Jack with his buddies: Eli, Simeon, and Braedan.
Me and my boys downtown. (Did I mention Dustin was out of town at a basketball scrimmage in Sheridan, so I was alone to do all these activities.)
Jack with his self proclaimed "best friends" Eli and Braedan. We are so thankful we moved where we did and found instant buddies that live just across the street! I love their moms too! How lucky to find great friends! I love this pic of them!
Jack and Eli playing in a pile of leaves! (This is where my kid has to have fun in the Fall leaves....he can't play in our dirt yard!)
The lion costume was waiting on the doorstep when we got home from Trick or Treating downtown. Here is Jack trying it on!
That night we headed to our stake Trunk or Treat. Here is Jack and Zander with some friends, Dwayne and Brynn.
I decided to dress up for the Trunk or Treat....I love dressing up and hardly ever get the chance, but I may have been a little too scary for a church event... :)
The boys got to stay up extra late that night because we had to go pick up Dustin when he got back into town. We had fun frosting some cookies and leaving some on people's porches and running away! :)
Halloween morning we got up and made some Monster Pancakes! Here is me and Jack showing of the breakfast and our monster faces.
Halloween night we got invited to our friends' house for some delicious chili, cornbread, and cupcakes and to do a little Trick or Treating. Here is Jack coming back from a house.
Dustin and Zander (once again sleeping in the stroller through the excitement)! (It was kinda cold, but thankfully, no snow!)

All in all it was a busy and fun Halloween weekend! And we have altogether TOO much candy around this joint now! Happy Halloween!
