Halloween

We had a fun Halloween this year.  We had all the kids activities during the week.  Clayton got to get in his costume for school and Cooper had a Halloween parade at school. We also had our ward Parade and dinner and the kids cashed in on lots of candy.  We couldn't find Clayton afterwards and we were starting to worry because it was getting dark.  Turns out he was going for a second round to get more candy!

I was back and forth of whether I wanted to dress Parker up, but I ended up finding this cute Sunflower costume and she looked so adorable in it.  She wasn't quite sure why she had it around her face, but she smiled and looked so cute in it.  During the parade, I ripped a small hole in the wrapper of a sucker.  She loved eating and sucking on that thing.  It was her real taste of sugar!

Cooper really wanted to be a Samurai for Halloween. We looked for costumes, but we couldn't find anything.  Bryce brought home some stuff laying around the shop and ended up making this awesome costume for Cooper.  He spent a lot of time on it and Cooper loved it.  I thought he did a great job.  He is creative and I am always amazed at the things he comes up with. 

We finally carved pumpkins a couple of nights before Halloween.  The boys had picked their own pumpkins at a patch and then they had a blast pulling and scraping the "guts" out of them.  Parker even enjoyed watching them.  On Halloween night, we actually went up to Steph's house to eat dinner and let the cousins all trick or treat together.
