Halloween

 It's a little late, but here are all of the things we did to celebrate Halloween this year. We carved pumpkins. The girls actually did a lot themselves. Danny helped them with some of the harder cutting parts. I missed a lot of it as I was putting a tired baby to bed, but I saw the beginning and the finished product(although I must have forgotten to take a picture of the finished ones.)

 We did our Cornbelly's outing that we do every year. This year we got there at opening with the intention to stay until mid afternoon. I ended up dragging the girls away around 6 with the promise of dinner on the way home. We were all worn out.

 We also did the Halloween party at the Rec. Center again. The girls always enjoy this one, but it seems to get more crowded every year. Danny was at the BYU football game that night, so I braved it alone with the kids. Alyssa got lost at one point and was very happy when the employees found me and got us together again. These are the only pictures I took of the kids in their costumes this year. Alyssa was a princess, again. This time I made a little hoop skirt for her dress so it puffed out a lot. Ashley was a pirate princess(we tried to make her look like the one from "Jake and the Neverland Pirates.") Her favorite part of the costume was the little sword I got her to tuck into her belt.

Tyler was a Teddy Bear, just like the girls were when they were babies. I had to go back and find the three pictures just as a comparison. The costume was a little big for Tyler, but he was just as cute wearing it.

I think it is pretty easy to tell who is who, although Alyssa and Tyler sure do look alike even with the 5 month difference in age.

On Halloween, we took the kids trick or treating in downtown Provo. We do this every year because the buildings are closer together than houses, so they don't get as tired. It also gives them their fill of candy and trick or treating early on which means we don't have to go out for as long in the evening. Last year and this year it has even worked out that the girls want to hand candy out for us here at the house. Alyssa did end up going out for a little while in our neighborhood, but Ashley didn't bother. She was already worn out.
