Halloween

We had a get together at our place to carve pumpkins with some of Rick's family that lives here in AZ. Can you guess which one is our family pumpkin?? What can I say? We love Disney! So Mickey Mouse it was!

We didn't really have any halloween decorations and since we are on a tight student budget, the kids and I took a trip to the Dollar Store. We got one package of spider web stuff that came with three spiders (Garrett is a little obsessed with anything to do with spiders) and a pumpkin decoration to hang on the door.

We also got a spider decoration and hung it from the fan/light fixture in our living room. Every morning the first thing Garrett would do is point to it and say "pie-o" which is him trying to say "spider". I could be cooking dinner in the kitchen or doing laundry in the other room and he felt the need to constantly pull me into the living room and point and tell me that there was a spider. Haha! He's so funny. I'm glad he was so in love with our $1 spider!

We also went with our friends Erin, Tessa and Peyton to the pumpkin patch just a couple miles from our house. Tessa's preschool was going so we joined in on the fun! They had slides, a big bounce thing, a couple train/tractor rides, and animals. I think the kids had a blast. 

This turkey was doing some CrAzY gobbling! It was hilarious. The kids would try to gobble at it and it seriously would gobble back!!! It was SO funny!!

We also went to our ward's Fall Festival! They had booths with games and activities for the kids, a bounce house, dinner, and a hay ride. 

Kimbri dressed up like a pirate fairy. She has been way into the Tinkerbell movies lately and there is one called The Pirate Fairy that she loves so that was her costume for the year!

Garrett dressed up like Curious George and Rick was the Man in the Yellow Hat. Yes, I wrapped felt around a hat I got from Goodwill. It was kind of tacky looking but I think it got the point across as to who he was supposed to be dressed like... haha :)

On the actual Halloween night we went trick or treating in a neighborhood just down from ours and the kids got so much candy! I think we still have a bowl of it hidden in the pantry somewhere... I think they were on a sugar high for a few days after that night.
