Halloween fun!

So is it just me, or does it seem like Halloween is more of an "event" than an actual holiday? The kids all were able to wear their costumes multiple times during the week of Halloween. Claire was able to wear her costume to gymnastics practice on Tuesday, dance on Wednesday, Clive trick or treat on Wednesday and Waukee trick or treat on Thursday! Not to shabby for a throw together Tinkerbell! 

 Case participated in the Monster Walk at daycare on Thursday and trick or treat on Beggars night and on Halloween! He did a pretty good job for his first official trick or treat outing. He wouldn't say trick or treat but did say " tank to" when someone gave him a treat. After about 4 houses he sat his bucket down on the sidewalk and tried to take off his costume! 

Carter had a "fall" party at school on Friday that I was able to help with. He wore the traditional Husker football get up again, as his "real" costume involved swords and bow and arrows which weren't allowed in school!

So funny but these last few pictures were actually taken after Halloween. It was a crazy couple of days with schedules so I wasn't able to get them all together on Halloween to get a picture. Since we live in Clive now, the kids trick or treated on Wednesday night, but Carter was at wrestling practice, so I just took Claire and Case out. We also visited our old neighborhood in Waukee to trick or treat as the moved their night to Halloween to accommodate the high school football game. Carter had gymnastics that night, so was late getting out so it was dark by the time we all set out. Anyway, better late than never! Now what to do with the pounds and pounds of candy we have...besides putting in my mouth?
