We decided to go to the farm this year to get our pumpkins. Each child got to pick their own out in the pumpkin field and then carry all the way back to the car...thus the varying size for the varying size of child. It was a fun way to do it, we think we will do it that way from now on. It also helps the kids realize where the pumpkins come from and how they get there.
Alyssa found her little pumpkin first and held onto it for dear life. I love this picture of her out in the pumpkin field with the blue sky in the background. She just started walking (all over) a couple of weeks ago. It is so cute to see her waddle around. She is a happy girl with lots of smiles. She is starting to try and say words,which is so sweet to hear. She was saying Moma and Dada at dinner tonight. Of course the kids were trying to get her to say "Dallin" or "Grandpa" or 'Brea" but she only said Moma & Dada - Love it!
Our pumpkins, what a sight. We carved them first and then the kids thought they needed a little paint so people could see them during the day. So then we painted them.
I love Holidays. Here is a our dressed up crew. We have our cute fuzzy caterpillar- Alyssa, our Red and Black- Brea Ladybug, our Hulk - Dallin, and our sparkly witch- Jackie ( I think their costumes fit their personalities well this year - we didn't even plan that).
Change of costumes...this is Halloween night. The previous picture was at our ward Halloween Party, which was the week before. Now we have Batman and a Lion with our caterpillar and witch. They were set to trick or treat. Alyssa even got into trick or treating this year. She had her own little bag and loved getting little treats in it. We went for about 45 minutes and then came home. Dallin wanted to pass the candy out at our house. He sat outside the door on a little chair with the bowl on his lap. He was so mature about it. He would tell all of them "Have a happy Halloween". He wasn't scared of any costumes or anyone. I had to drag him in at 8:15 to get him ready for bed. Jackie wanted to go out some more, so Jeff took her out by herself while Dallin gave out candy at our house and Brea and Alyssa went too bed. Jackie never wanted to stop, she had a bucket that she filled to the top - WAY TOO MUCH CANDY! She was super excited to come home and show me how much she got. In the past we have traded the kids candy for a toy, but this year Jackie said, "I don't want to trade my candy for a toy this time." She has been good about only eating a few pieces a day and she shares with everyone. Happy Halloween 2011.
