TwitterAgain this year, we went for home made Halloween costumes. Grandma GG again came to our aid with some awesome hats. And I put together some weather appropriate outfits & accessories.
I even went as far as using dye to color green sweats!!
Wednesday night was our Church Trunk-or-Treat. The HS youth also had games for the kids. Like pumpkin bowling, pin (tape) the nose on the pumpkin & bobbing for apples.
Logan would have done this all night!
Olivia lasted not much longer than the 6 seconds it took me to take a picture.
This year the kids elected to go as Team Umizoomi.
Hayden was Bot.
Logan was Geo!
Olivia was Milli.
Incase you don't know Team Umzoomi, this is them. They are tiny little superhero type characters that help people solve every day issues with the help of Geo's shape belt, Milli's pattern power & Bots belly, belly, belly screen.
Go Team Umizoomi!!
Trunk-or-Treat this year was fun in that the kids actually know some friends there from Sunday School & they enjoyed going trunk to trunk with their friends.
Halloween afternoon we found some time for manis & pedis before a late afternoon nap in preparation for a late night. Check out Hayden blowing his nails dry :)
Halloween night, Miss Analeigh & Molly came with us. Analeigh was in a super picture taking mood :)
Attempts at getting all 4 of them looked a little something like this:
The best I got!
Ready to go! Hooray!!
They did really well at first. Lots of "Trick or Treats" & "Thank yous." Analeigh & Molly hit about every other house as my big kids took off running ahead.
As time went on though, Analeigh caught on to the fact that she got candy at each stop & was NOT ok with skipping any doors anymore.
Stopping to check out her goods.
One house handed out Capri Sun juice pouches & after that, it went down hill. All they wanted to do was go home & drink their juice. So we slowly made our way home. We were out for probably 1.5 hours though & they got plenty of loot.
We headed home for popcorn, candy & to drink those darn beloved juice pouches!

Hayden showing off his green candy... everywhere!
One poor girl got "tricked" though :( She got tripped up & face planted into the sidewalk pretty hard at one house. In addition to her candy, she took home a scraped up nose & eye.
Friday, November 1 after Halloween, the kids were still begging to paint pumpkins. With finishing up one job & starting orientation at another, I had worked/oriented more than 50 hours in the 6 days leading up to Halloween, so we just had never got any pumpkin painting or carving done. Better late than never? The boys painted briefly, Olivia worked at hers for a good hour.
Hayden actually made a face on his!!!
Olivia painted a person on this side of her pumpkin. She had a scene of some sort on every side.
Logan, well he wasn't as in to it. He isn't a big fan of messy hands, so he ducked out pretty early.
My little Team Umizoomi had a great Halloween!! Hope you did too!!
