Halloween II

Here's some more pictures from Halloween that I never posted. This is in Azle with Grandma & Grandpa Abraham. We had so much fun. We got to go on a hayride. Visit with animals, which the kids loved. We got to see our cousins and of course eat lots of good candy. YUM!






Trick-or-Treat!

Double Halloween fun!

This year we had double the fun for Halloween.
On Halloween weekend we went to a trunk or treat in Cleburne (Nicole's home town) and the next weekend, a trunk or treat in Azle (Nathan's home town).

Halloween part 1
Cleburne Trunk or Treat....


So on Halloween day Nathan had to work so we had to make the best of it with out him. Lucky for us he came home around 4 so he was able to go trunk or treating with us.

But while we waited we decided to get some activities going-

We made some fun decorations. The kids and I cut out some fun Halloween shapes, colored them and hung them on the wall so those who came home could be welcomed with the Halloween spirit-

The kids were very creative. They colored "Casper", "Frankenstein" & other familiar scary characters.

Happy Halloween everybody!!!




They were good buds, cooperated and shared, which was nice for me ;)
Of course then we had to make some sweets. Chocolate spiders!!!
Who doesn't love chocolate
obviously these two
End result.......
they are addicting :)
And we move on to Halloween night.
We decided to go for "The Wizard of Oz" theme this year. Nathan (scarecrow), Nicole (wicked witch of the west) Ethan (tin-man), Shelby (Dorthy) & Link (cowardly lion).



Making the costumes was the funnest part of course. Luckily Ms. Dorthy & lion were already made. With the tin man we had to be a little more creative-
I was pretty proud of my ax = paper plate, some sticks, foil & duct tape. Not bad eh?
famous ruby slippers
Mr. tin man was quite the project.


Of course you always run into some interesting characters at a Halloween party. I had to get a picture of this guy. Every year he is creative with his costumes. One year he was Braveheart (quilt, sword, the works.) This year "Thor"....(and oh yes those are tights) lol.
What do you think? Halloween always brings out some interesting characters ;)

Happy Halloween!

Let the Fall Festivities begin

Best time of the year for sure!!! Pretty leaves, nice cool weather, time change (love that extra hour), holidays, birthdays (3 for our family) best part- everyone seems to be in a better mood this time of year! We love it!

We love going to a good pumpkin patch. We always make sure we hit one every fall. This year is our first visit to one in Texas. We have loved living in Utah over the years, they have beautiful falls there. I couldn't even remember what it's like in Texas- I remember the hot for sure but this time of the year we didn't know what to expect. Thank goodness it is starting to cool off a little. We headed out to the pumpkin patch in Grapevine Mills with my bro-Chris and sis- Carrie and all of the cousins. It was so much fun. Not too hot. I couldn't believe all of the people though. Not to sound corny but I really enjoyed seeing all of the families out there. I know it can be a challenge taking all of your kids out especially if it's close to nap time, for some. But it was a great experience. All of the kids loved it.


Cheers for pumpkins :)
