Halloween

HAPPY HALLOWEEN DAY! After a long "Halloween time" it is finally Halloween day!

My pumpkin wanted a pumpkin on his face...very original Harlow

Kelti mi Schmelti did so good. He was a happy little camper along for the ride.

We went trick-or-treating to a pet shop and got to see and touch some birds. Harlow wanted to hold it but every time he tried to he got too scared. I bent down and held the bird and it's squaked in my face. Both Harlow and I jumped.

Painting his free pumpkin

He wasn't scared of the Grim Reaper but he was scared of the big giant white Coca-Cola polar bear?!

We love Amanda! Amanda and I played one-on-one with Harlow and Kelton - so grateful for all her help!

Every year Provo does free trick-or-treating down on Center Street for its families. Amanda met me and the boys down there and we had a blast together. There were quite a few pumpkins there...I guess I didn't realize it was such a popular Halloween costume.  But I've got to say, I think my boys and costumes were the cutest...just a mother's opinion

After we went trick-or-treating down Center Street we came back to our house to meet daddy and Sara and Spencer for some yummy chili before heading out to do more trick-or-treating around the neighborhood.  

We don't get many trick-or-treaters around our place...I still have a whole bowl of candy left over...I need to find a way to get rid of it or I'll eat it.  

It was fun to go trick-or-treating all together and go to our good friends in the wards houses.  Everyone loved the boys pumpkin costumes! (that made me feel good.  I sure had fun making them)

I was a witch but I didn't have the typical pointed hat, so I'm not sure how many people got what I was. But no matter, it was fun. Thanks Aunt Meridee, for always having your Witches Tea. That's what the hat was created for and what the outfit was born from. I completely made to help myself as well. I've got to say, I'm pretty darn proud of it.

We finished off the night by watching The Nightmare Before Christmas. (this is one of Harlow's favorite movies. No, he's not scared of it. I'm not sure why. He gets afraid of some Mickey Mouse episodes but he's not afraid of The Nightmare Before Christmas… I have no idea)
