Halloween 2016

I HATE Halloween, I have never been a big fan of dressing up and trying to find costumes for the kids is always such a chore.  This year their costumes were much easier!  Armin wanted to be Captain America, easily found at Walmart!! Emry didn't know exactly what she wanted to be but she found something at the Spirit Halloween store, she chose to be Robin Hood.  And Calum wanted to be Dipper Pines from Gravity Falls!  I was able to find exactly what he needed at the thrift store!

Calum's Grade 3/4 class

Emry and her friend Hayley the Hotdog

Lily the Cat and Dipper Pines

To start the festivities we carved our pumpkins.  Calum never disappoints in this department.  He hates the gunk inside the pumpkin so much so that he almost always throws up!  Armin and Emry got right in and dug the guts out of their pumpkins!  Jared helped them carve their designs, and the ending results were cute!

 

Halloween night the kids were so hyped up!  6:00pm couldn't come fast enough!  Finally out the door and into town we went!  Some streets in Champion had houses with lights on for almost the entire street so we let the kids go for it!  After a few houses they met up with Gil and Lily and did a few streets with them too!  Its always so fun to go with a big group!  Jared and I followed close behind in the van!  We were even able to watch a bit of a video!!  My kinda way to go trick or treating!!!  We only let the kids go around town for an hour then we went and did a few farms!  I could not believe how much candy they got for only a couple hours of trick or treating!

When we got home the kids dumped their bags out and went through all their candy.  Emry sorted hers by chocolate bar or hard candy!! Armin put his in neat piles according to kind of chocolate bar and Calum, well his was just one big mess!!!

So it was another successful Halloween!! The kids had a blast and if I am being truly honest I enjoyed it too!  I love seeing my kids have fun!!!
