Halloween 2012

I'm over a month late in getting these posted, but I figure better late than never right?  We sure had a fun Halloween this year.  It all started out with going to the school to watch the kids march in the Halloween parade.  Tate and I got a front row seat and Tate was absolutely loving all of the kids walking by.  We were so engrossed in all the costumes, that Zach came by and we didn't even notice until he was right in front of us.  By the time I got the camera on and took a picture, he was past and this was the best I got.

We were a little more prepared for Hailey, although she was looking the other way for us.  

After school, we headed to the Jeremiah's office at Pinnacle to trick-or-treat there.  Tate was so cute walking up to everyone and saying trick-or-treat!  The kids had a blast and they got a TON of candy - they can't wait to go again next year!

Hailey that it was so fun to see where Dad worked.

Jeremiah even dressed up and I made them stop at some point along the way for a picture (Zach was thrilled as you can tell!).

By the time we got there, some people had already left for the day, but they were kind enough to leave out some candy for the kids to choose from.

Once we got home, we forced the kids to set the candy aside and have some dinner before we headed out to trick-or-treat the neighborhood.  I had to make them stop for a few pictures, they were all just so darn cute!

Here's Tate as the Dalmation Dog - he was so excited to wear this costume again this year.

Here's our friendly little witch, Hailey, with her little kitty.  She had planned to borrow Tate's broom to carry around, but it all of a sudden disappeared during that day and we couldn't find it anywhere.  I'm convinced that Tate hid it on purpose!  :)

And of course, here's our brave knight, Zach, all decked out with his armour, shield, and sword.

After pictures we headed out to get some trick-or-treating in.  The three kids were so cute running up to the door and saying trick-or-treat.  Tate was really into it this year as he realized that this whole crazy tradition meant he got a bunch of candy.

Jeremiah modified his costume slightly and got quite a few laughs from people in the neighborhood when they saw his sign.

And I figured I'd tack on a few pictures of our pumpkins on the front porch.  Zach and Tate's are the Frankenstein ones and Hailey's is the owl.  We had to set Wilbur, our book report pumpkin pig, out there too once Zach brought it back home with a score of 100%!

Tate didn't want to miss out on a picture, so he stood behind the pumpkins for a quick shot.  Can you believe it was warm enough during the day on Halloween to be in short sleeves and no jackets or coats???

Yes, it certainly was a fun Halloween!  We ended up with tons of candy and lots of fun, we can't wait for it to roll around again next year!
