October Fun

Trunk or Treat

October was a busy month for sure! Aside from the birth of Hyrum there were lots of activities with the other kids. Here are just a few.

We  were not anticipating going to the trunk or treat given that it was shortly after Hyrums birth. Literally like 20 minutes before it was time to leave the kids begged Seth to take them. He relented and obliged. But since we were not planning on going they had no costumes so in 20 minutes we did what we could. Briggs and Nems were cowboys/cowgirls and Abby was a quickly recycled Peacock from last year. It turns out Briggs and Nems liked it so much they wanted to be that for Halloween too, which was a win for ME!

 Carving Pumpkins

We finally got around to carving pumpkins the night before Halloween. As always the kids loved it. Briggs hated to touch the guts but he eventually did. Emily colored the little pumpkin while Briggs wanted his to be a vampire and Abby really wanted a Horse pumpkin but settled for a cat. Thanks to Seths drawing and carving skills they turned out really well, at least I think so. We also had treats while we carved which of course was a big bonus.

Halloween

The day finally arrived!!! Brigham and Nems were again a cowboy and cowgirl and Abigail wanted to be a Macaw this year. Thankfully Aunt Chandler volunteered to take that costume on. She came from Houston to do it and Abby just loved it!!! Thanks Ham.  Hyrum hung out in his ghost onsie most of the day (which was one Abby wore for her first Halloween.) He also wore a costume that Brigham wore for His first Halloween. He was adorable.

Seth took the kids Trick or Treating while Hyrum and I passed out candy. We had so many trick or treaters compared to our old house. I would say we had at least 80-100! Once the kids got back I made them pick out the candy they dont like and put it in the bowl to pass out since we were running low. Once they got back they really loved handing out candy too. Hyrum got a lot of compliments :)

Then once we turned off the lights we watched a movie with the kids. We bought Inside Out and it was a great way to end the evening. Despite my reluctance to let the kids stay up so late...
