Halloween

Halloween was a blast around our house this year. Kyler and Maxwell both decided what they wanted to dress up as this year and they were adamit about it as well.
We would ask Maxwell: "Are you going to be Thomas the train for Halloween?"
He would relply very sternly: "No, SPEED RACER!!"
Kyler had decided early on that he wanted to be Batman. I don't know where that came from since he has never seen a batman show, but that was what he wanted.
We had a Jorgensen Family Halloween party, where the kids hunted for their pumpkins and then got to decorate them with the foam stickers. I am such a fan of that! They had a blast.



Kyler had a Halloween Party at school. And after that party he asked me if Halloween was over yet so that it could be Christmas time. So silly. We still had a couple of days until Halloween. On Halloween we went to my work for thier Halloween festivites where the boys decorated cookies and played some fun games and sang some fun songs.We then visited the great-grandparents, which is always fun and exciting. This year since it was so nice outside the kids played around in Grandma and Grandpa Newtons Backyard like we used to do as kids. Finding all the trails in the mountains and playing around in the leaves. It was a fun but tiring day and the night had not begun.



We went to my mom's wards' Primary Trick-or-treat count down party that was a blast. I will do this with them every year. They had food and games and best was the count down to trick-or-treating. We were done with my parents neighborhood by 6pm. It was awesome. The best part of that was the arrival of Andrew and Megan who surprised us by coming up from St. George for a visit. We did not stop trick-or-treating there though. We had to go to our own neighborhood and then to a few others before we could end the night at Mamas and Papas house. We were all spent by the end. But what a fun holiday!



The next morning Kyler woke up and said "Mom is Halloween really over"
"Yes Ky it really is"; "Yeah, that means Santa can come now"
I think this boy is excited for Santa to come.

Nicole- Of course that is a tiara on my head! I am in my comfort zone with a tiara. I was sleeping beauty for Halloween. I wore a tiara and my pink pajamas. It was actually Kyler's idea.
