My mom was here for Halloween. She came to watch our kids so I could go with Daniel to San Antonio. I had to cut my part of the trip short so I could go home and take the kids trunk-or-treating since Halloween was on Sunday. I came home early Friday morning and then that night we took the kids to our church Halloween party.
Staucie was originally going to be Cinderella and then Little Mermaid. She was going to wear her Sleeping Beauty dress to her friend's princess birthday party, the day before, but then changed it to Little Mermaid. So then for trunk-or-treating she was Sleeping Beauty. It is a good thing we have all these dresses already.
Parker wanted to be a green dragon with brown pokies. We were not successful in finding any dragon costumes and ended up with Pablo from Backyardigans (whom he loves). Since my mom was here I made her alter the Pablo costume, it was too small. Bensen was whatever we put on him which was Parker's dinosaur costume from last year.
Bensen had been running fevers that day so we brought in the double stroller so he could just hang out in that.
I took the kids around while my mom passed out candy with Addie.
Then the kids joined her for a little while. Her leg is in the air because she was afriad Parker would fall off.
Then we came home and looked at all the candy and tried some.
Daniel came home when we were about ready to get them to bed, it was late. They were all nice and sticky.On Saturday we had a "Halloween Party." Just us. We had pizza for dinner, painted pumpkins, decorated and ate cookies, had a bath and went to bed. Cleaning up was super fun when they all cried about frosting all over their hands. Sprinkles were everywhere. I just hope they had fun...
Bensen was still sick. I showed him how to paint and then he had fun with it.
And then on Halloween, Sunday. We went to church, my mom and I left after Sacrament meeting to put the babies to bed. Bensen was still sick. And then I had to take her to the airport later that afternoon. Boo. When I got back we decided to be naughty and take the kids trick-or-treating to a few houses since Daniel missed the trunk-or-treating. We went to like 6 houses. Then the kids helped us give out popscicles to all the trick-or-treaters. It was a pretty warm night and the popscicles were a big hit. We had a box of 100 and went through most of them.
Happy Halloween!!

You guys had a fun weekend! What a great idea to give out popsicles! We had also planned on not going trick-or-treating on Sunday but ended up going. And we saw a couple other families from the ward who'd done the same thing. Hahaha.

your kids are getting so big! i can't believe it! looks like you had a fun halloween, and how fun your mom was there!
Thanks for the great Halloween narrative. Now I feel like I was there and didn't miss out on seeing those darling little kids. The first few pictures cracked me up - their expressions - what are they looking at? I'm sure they had a great time and the costumes were awesome. I want one of those cookies. Yummy.
I still cannot beleive yo have 4 kids, you are such a trooper...Cute pics!
We totally went trick or treating on sunday, but we are apostate I guess because we planned to do it all along. Glad your mom came to visit and you got a little break from the kids.
