Halloween is always a fun holiday, my kids get pretty into it. Of course Halloween at school with the parties and costume parade is almost as fun as real Halloween. This year on Saturday we had a ward activity that included dinner, games, and a trunk or treat...which was great because it was freezing. The kids seemed to have a great time, and got plenty of candy! My cute girls!
Mary was spaghetti and meatballs!

Brynn being a crazy Cave Girl!
Lucy said she wanted to be a vampire, and never waivered. She did of course wear a dress.

She did manage to scare Kelsey ever time she put in her teeth.
Kelsey was a cute little Minnie Mouse!
"Scary" costumes really scared Kelsey...including Lucy's teeth. She wouldn't cry she would just cover her mouth with her hands. Here she is at the elementary school parade. It had enough scary costumes, that she spent the entire parade like this.

Fall Fun!

Fall is so fun. I love the perfect weather, and it signals the beginning of fun holidays and traditions. The annual "Pumpkin Party" at Grandma Keet's is a favorite of my kids. They get to paint pumpkins for grandma's porch, and play with their cousins. They have a blast and this year was no expection. We also try to get to a pumpkin patch every year. This year (and last) we went to the Red Barn. It is a fun experience, you get a tractor ride out to the pumpkin patch, then you pick your own pumpkin, and back to the barn for treats like donuts or ice cream. It was a cold, but fun night for our family. Kelsey is so excited to start painting...she had to go topless due to the mess!
Cute cousins anxiously awaiting their paint.
The painting is in full swing.
Mary's green pumpkin with spiders.
Brynn's spiders, moon and cat.
Lucy's rainbow poka-dots.
Kelsey just enjoying herself to the fullest!

They finished!
The pumpkin patch had cute "scenes" for pictures...our little ghosts.
