Halloween

We had a fun filled Halloween as always. I can't believe how much more fun holidays are with kids. We started off the morning by doing some Halloween crafts that Grandma Christensen sent the kiddos, they have been really into crafts lately, so this was a big hit.

Our ward at church had a carnival and trunk or treat that night so we headed over there for all kinds of fun. My two favorite things about the night were all the people who kept asking Rick if he was really on duty working........ (doesn't he look cute in his uniform?)
And Carson in his costume. He won a prize for most creative and was SO proud to be a garbage man. I wish you could have all seen him wheeling that can around the parking lot to put his candy in. He was hilarious. Brynnli was going pretty fast herself, but we couldn't keep up.
Brynnli couldn't figure out why she didn't win a prize too, her best friend Izzie won a prize, and then Carson, Brynnli just walked up after that and was like, okay I'm here for mine, she was funny and carried Carson's HUGE BOWL around for like ten minutes with a huge smile on her face.

Just some pics of the kids in their costumes.....

Carson as the garbage man, on a side note: On Friday morning our garbage man came (who we are on a first name basis with I hesitate to admit), I couldn't convince Carson to put on his costume to show him, but Rick took him out and Carson told him proudly he was going to be a garbage man for halloween, the guy seemed pretty stoked and told Carson he had to be scary because garbage men are scary:)

BRynnli as Minnie Mouse or "da douse" as she calls herself

And the kids trick or treating

Grandma and Grandpa Tolbert came with us to the church and were a huge help as usual. Grandma decorated the whole car with decorations she had brought, thanks to the Tolbert store:) It looked great!
Here's some other random Halloween celebrations from the past week:

Here's Carson and Brynnli at the pumpkin patch last week after soccer practice
The preschool Halloween party (the little ones got to come too). And our park day Halloween party....it was a little hot in case you can't tell by all the red faces. After this picture my kids stripped their costumes off and put their cool clothes back on.
Carson and Brynnli cleaning out a pumpkin, they were really good at it! (I won't mention about how there was pumpkin matter all over my house for a few days afterward....they had fun)

Happy Halloween!
