Happy Halloween!

Our Halloween season lasted all weekend and then again on Monday. I think this was the most fun that the kids have had on Halloween all their short little lives. On Friday was Jaxon's class party that I got to help out at that was complete with fire alarm drill and parade. That night was the school's Halloween carnival and Jaxon was in his element. He loved playing all the games and was all about the giant inflatables. He was especially good at the giant inflatable obstacle course. We weren't even sure if he could do it, but he wanted to do it, so we let him, and he burned through that sucker. Sammi and Jill had a good time as well. Sammi was a little more hesitant to get involved, but had fun when she did. Her favorite was the donut walk and fish pond. Jill just was happy as can be to be in her pooh costume, watch all the craziness that was going on, and sneak candy whenever she could. On Saturday we went trick or treating to Grandpa Gordon and Grandma and Grandpa. On Monday we hit the truck-or-treat that was in a small little neighborhood in our ward, just perfect for such occasions. Then we proceeded to hit a few of the houses in our neighborhood and make visits to an elderly couple that we just love to visit with, as well as Granny and Grandpa and Katie and Mark. And it only took us about three hours! We came away with way more candy than I expected, but the kids were having a blast through it all. It was fun to see them having fun. Plus they were dang cute to look at. They loved their costumes and wore them today as well. That only lasted about and hour as they realized that wearing the costume does not atomatically get them more candy.
