A Happy Halloween

Oh Halloween!  I had big plans for you this year.  But then I got sick and plans changed.  But the kids still had a blast, so that's good.

Keith & boys carving pumpkins on Halloween Eve.  I crept out of my bed to get some pics.

Keith was such a huge help all week long!

I was looking forward to helping at Grant's school on Halloween morning, but sent Keith and his Mom instead.  The school started out the morning with a costume parade.

 Keith helped out in Grant's class.

 And his mom got to go too.  I had planned to read The Runaway Pumpkin (awesome book!) to his class and then take a picture of the kids with a painting of giant pumpkin.  I never got the giant pumpkin made so Keith's mom surprised me by making one herself!  Oh, I'm so glad I was able to hand this off to capable hands!  Thank you!

 The pumpkin line up.

We had a bunch of pumpkins that we'd used at our ward's Fall Festival the week before.  So we gave some away and carved the rest!

 Ready to go Trick-or-Treating.

I love this picture!  Happy Grant.  Excited Camille.  And then poor little Brett.  He was having a hard week and this is just one of the many times where he had a break down.  He doesn't look too sad in this picture, but in some of the others he's just crying his eyes out.  He slept good that night!

 Close-up of that cute bee!

 I love her little hand on that pumpkin!

 After going around the neighborhood for a while, the boys set themselves up on the driveway to eat pizza and hand out candy.  They had so much fun that night!

 Here's the back of the bee from our ward party the weekend before.

 There were fun games.

 I loved watching Grant eat this donut.  It was so funny!

So long Halloween, may we meet on better terms next year!
