Halloween!

A week or two late, but here it is nonetheless!

This was the kid's practice run in their costumes. Who thought it would be so hard to get three kids to pose for a picture! :)

The weekend before Halloween, we went to a Trick-or-Treat street event at Aspen Grove Mall. It was super cute and all the kids had a blast. It was a little cold, but not freezing, so it worked out! Landon was a little scared to go up to the people to say "Trick-or-Treat!" even though we practiced about a million times. But he ended up with lots of candy at the end of the night.

That's my "black spiderman" with a mouth full of candy. He wouldn't wear his mask for trick-or-treating. He's got a thing about the mask. He will only wear it for about 30-second intervals. 

The week of Halloween, we carved pumpkins on Sunday with my sister and my best friend, Shelby. Shelby had never carved a pumpkin before (GASP!) so we took her under our wings and introduced her to the fun-filled activity. I bought a set to carve Marvel character for Landon, and they turned out really cute! I carved Wolverine, Jenn did Spider-Man, and Shelby did The Hulk. They were actually really difficult to do! So I'm surprised they turned out so well.

Then, on Halloween, we went Trick-or-Treating in my parent's neighborhood. We totally lucked out on the weather, it was a perfect night! I didn't even have to wear a jacket. For some reason, Landon was scared of every spider decoration, and was almost too creeped out to go to any of the doors. So we did a few cul-de-sacs and then headed home, but he definitely got plenty of candy!

And I totally sucked at taking pictures this year. But I'm trying to get better. The photographer in me is screaming at me, so I'm going to try to get better with my mom's new DSLR camera and hopefully you'll be getting some masterpieces on here soon! :)
