Lotsa Halloween Fun!!!

We had a lot of fun with Halloween this year. Here's some of the fun that we were able to capture...

On Wednesday night made some mummy cupcakes for Nathan's class at daycare.

They were fun to make and turned out cute too if I do say so myself. You can find instructions for making these all over the web.

Friday I had the day off and so we went to the daycare to see the other kids and hang out for a little while.

Here's Audrey with one of her teachers. Carmen...

And Nathan with his teacher Rose...

The kids then went on a parade...

Then we went back to the daycare and got a picture with Nathan's class. It was fun to see the variety of costumes. There were 2 Woody's other then that all the costumes were different...

And finally it was time for lunch...yummy pizza!

 

After lunch we headed over to my work to do some trick or treating (sorry no pics). Everyone loved seeing the kids in their costumes and the kids LOVED getting candy from people. At first Audrey would take one piece of candy from people and was good, then she starting going back for more then one from people. She sure caught on really quick with the whole getting candy thing. We made out for sure!

The kids had so much fun that we didn't even make it home and both of them were asleep.

In the evening we headed over to the church for our wards Trunk or Treat and Chili cook-off (again no pics). While getting ready to head over and decorating the trunk for the trunk or treat I actually set a fire in the kitchen...not intentionally either. I had put all the candy we were taking to had out in a big cauldron we have and to keep it out of the hands of the kids had set it up on the stove, well when I put it up there I accidentally turned the burner.

I had gone outside for a minute and when I came back in smelled something burning. I had set a kitchen towel and the kids daycare halloween buckets on fire. That's what I get for being in a hurry.

We had fun eating yummy chili and checking out the backs of the neighbors cars as the kids went Trunk or Treating.

On Saturday night it was time to go trick or treating around the neighborhood.

First we took some pictures of the kids.

Mommy's living dolls, Raggedy Andy and Raggedy Ann...

I love how the costumes turned out (I got the last completed Thursday night) and by the time all was said and done Nathan actually seemed to like being dressed up as Raggedy Andy.

We then headed over to trick or treat over at Grandma Jan's. Then came back to our neighborhood and visited some friends. This is the first year that Chris has gone with us trick or treating, usually he's at home handing out candy. We had lots of fun and were glad that the weather was so nice too!

After trick or treating we headed back home for tamales and chili and handing out candy.

Nathan seemed to alsmot have more fun handing out candy then everything else combined. Everytime the doorbell would ring he would yell "Only me do it, only me do it, not you!" as he ran down the stairs to open the door and hand out the candy. If he recognized a costume he would shout it out, especially Iron Man. Then would politely say "Your welcome" with every peice of candy he'd put in the kids bags.

We had such a fun time for Halloween this year. My mom, Grandma Johnson, even came for a visit. This is the first year she's spent Halloween with us. Of course we even found time to head to the fabric store. My sister, Aunt GiGi, even came over and spent some time with us.

We had a great Halloween, we hope you did too!!
