Halloween

Rick had the day off on Halloween so we decided to start the day out by going to IHOP where they do free Scary Face pancakes for kids. Rick and I ordered french toast but then they came back and said that they were out of french toast.... weird, so we decided not to get anything. Then it took 45 minutes for them to bring out 3 pancakes for the kids. I was getting pretty frustrated because it definitely should not have taken that long to make 3 pancakes and bring them out, and the kids were getting super impatient... because they were so hungry! 

I think their faces say it all... they had to wait way too long
for breakfasting were getting "hangry".

For school, Kimbri got to dress up in her costume. She was Ariel. We curled her hair and I let her wear a tiny bit of make up... lipstick and a little eye makeup is all. Rick took her down to the bus stop and took some pictures of her while they were waiting for the bus. She definitely isn't camera shy, ha!

This was a picture from the Halloween
parade at school.

Later that evening all the kids got dressed up and we went trick or treating with the Stone's in Salem. They still have kids young enough to go trick or treating so we joined in on their fun, going around their neighborhood. We stopped at Great Grandma and Great Grandpa Stone's house to trick or treat there too, which was great! I'm always glad for our kids to get a chance to see their great-grandparents when we can because when we move out of state again, we don't know how often we'll be back to visit.

Anyway, Brenna dressed up like a butterfly and Garrett was Spiderman.

Before heading out to go trick or treating in Salem, we tried to get a picture of all 3 kids in their costumes... yeah, that was tricky, no pun intended ;)

Brenna kept trying to walk away as soon as we got her
situated between the older two.

Brenna got tired riding around in her stroller.

It was a fun night and as each holiday comes and goes, I'm really grateful that we get to have a year in Utah to experience holiday and family get togethers before we move who knows where!
