Halloween!!!

We had a pretty busy Halloween! We had 3 parties the weekend before, and then the real thing!

Last Thursday started with a fun party at my friend Shalyse's house. I think there were about 30 little kids running around outside! Luckily it was a beautiful day! Gray and Cal were 2 of the 6 transformers there, and Huddy was our little Ninja!

Hudson and his buddy Park

The next night was the Elementary School Carnival. Grayson loves that he gets to do things at his school, and kind of bosses us all around when we are at "his school"!!

(this is the only picture I have from that night, sorry!)

Saturday was our ward's "Costumes on Parade". It was SO DANG CUTE!!! The kids got to go trick or treating to all the classrooms around the hall, and then come in to the gym for donuts and cider. Then they all got to have their little moment on stage and pose individually while they got their picture taken.

Bumble Bee, our little chicken, and Optimus Prime

Now Cal's turn....

Hudson went out there and just sat right in the middle of the stage, but all we got was him running away!

Now, for Halloween Day!!

We started the morning with an "All Orange" breakfast of orange pancakes, mandarin oranges, and orange juice....
We had a really great "dinner in a pumpkin" with our friends the Sperrys before the nightly festivities began. It was delish!

That night, we went to the church for the trunk or treat.....

Optimus Prime and Bumble Bee....

And then Squirt the little sea turtle joined....

(And yes, Hudson was 3 different things for Halloween this year. That's what you get when you have all these boys' Halloween costumes to pass down!)

Mmmmmmm.....CANDY!!!

Then we went trick or treating around the neighborhood. It was so much fun! There were SO MANY people out trick or treating and the boys thought it was the coolest thing ever. (we didn't go last year since it was on Sunday so it had been a couple years). Once again, I don't have any pictures of them....but we have proof in the amount of candy they got.....

And of course they had to separate it in to piles.....

Overall, we had a super busy, super fun Halloween......now I have to resist the temptation of reaching in to our candy bowl every time I walk by!!!
