Perspective on Halloween......a month later


they are sure posers :)

Halloween. I am going to be honest. Not my favorite holiday. Now I do like it, because I love all holidays and days that are made to be different from the everyday, but overall........not my favorite.
Ty, naturally had his costume picked out months ahead and was indeed SPIDERMAN. No one had to really question. By Halloween his costume had approximately 5+ holes, snags, etc in it. It is definitely loved and the best $10 I EVER spent!
I gave Nate the assignment of taking Kace to get his costume one night. They came home with this scary looking thing with bones 'sticking' out of it. It was weird, but Kace was sure excited it. He likes the scary part of Halloween.

On Friday was Kace's school's costume parade so Ty and I went to see all the kids and their costumes (Ty was in his spiderman costume like he is most days.......so he didn't even need to dress up). I thought this picture was funny. He found ANOTHER SPIDERMAN (gasp!)



We went to our ward Halloween party on Friday night and had a nice dinner and had a trunk or treat. Ty was like a kid in heaven. I don't really know what Kace thought because he ran off with his friends and wasn't seen until it was over. Naturally. But when I did see him, he ran up to me and exclaimed, "I went through NINE times!" He had a big grin on his face and was so proud of himself. I was mortified..........NINE times? Then he told me that he was awarded the most 'scary costume' award, which he was very proud of.


This picture was at the costume parade. I love it because you can see Ty in the background and he is so excited to see his brother. He kept talking (well more like yelling. Anyone who knows Ty knows that he isn't very quiet!) and saying, "THERE'S MY BROTHER!" It was very cute. Ty's good friend Summitt is with him.


Once Ty got the hang of it, he was literally running through the parking lot and was SO EXCITED about the candy. I wish I had taken a picture of him with his candy. He was so excited.

The next night we took the kids trick or treating to the older people in the ward and those that we didn't see at the party. I just couldn't let the actual trick or treating part of Halloween die. I think they liked that more than the trunk or treating. Now we STILL have a big bag of candy sitting on top of the fridge waiting for whoever wants it.
