Happy Halloween!

We had a VERY fun Halloween this year, and the kids were SUPER cute to boot!  First, Lincoln had a fun dress up party at school to which he exclaimed "Mom!  I was the ONLY superhero!  Can you even BELIEVE IT!!!!"  He really enjoyed his costume this year- as did Payton.  These AWESOME capes were made by my uber-talented sister Courtney for Christmas last year, and they have not come off for a solid year!  For the past couple of weeks, I have been letting them wear them wherever we go- because otherwise it's quite a fight, so that's been pretty fun/interesting.  Morgs was a duck to begin with, but then when we decided to decorate our car like the "Bat Cave" for our ward's Trunk-or-Treat and I made Bat Masks for both Cole and I, we decided that Morgs needed in on the "super" action as well.  Thus the birth of SUPERDUCK!  She was pretty dang cute if I do say so myself.  The Trunk-Or-Treat was SURELY a treat this year!  There were lots of people there, which makes for lots of candy, which in turn makes for happy kids.  Lots of great costumes, fun friends, and halloween candy make for a spooktacular night!  We did some fun games inside the church for the activities before the big trunk-or-treat and the kids weren't so sure.  They decided that it would be best- and for SURE more in character to just run around the gym tackling each other, and trying to "GET" each other.  Many wrestling matches were broken up.  But they sure had fun! 

Cutest Duck EVER!!

The "Supers"

They had a donut on a string eating contest, but Payton did NOT think that was the best idea in the land.

They also had an apple pushing contest- you had to push the apple with your nose.  Payton said that he wanted to do it, so I joined in the fun- but Payton- instead of pushing the apple with his nose- decided to eat the apple while it was on the ground!  I swear this kid has more personality than anyone!  SO fun.

Big fan of the sucker!

Trick or TREAT!

The Superheros with their friend Thomas.  Jack (Thomas's brother) wasn't in the mood for a picture!

SUPER FAMILY!!!

And of course...Gus was a superDog.  If you can't tell, he is wearing a little cape.  (Which he didn't love and tried to get it off the whole night!  But we must keep up appearances eh?!)

Morgs and her Betrothed....Logan Wessler.  It's SO dang cute!  Logan says a few words- one of which is "MO" every time he sees Morgan!  TRUE LOVE!

  
  The next day, we went to a fun little going away/Halloween party for our friends the Schafers- Whom our kids will miss TERRIBLY! (and mommy of course!) and then came home to a SPOOKY Halloween dinner!  We had soup in homemade (yeah that's right...HOMEMADE) breadbowls, Halloween Jell-o Jigglers, and some spooky green punch.  It was so fun, and Lincoln was WAY excited that he could even eat his bowl!  He thought that was pretty spiffy.  We decided not to go trick-or-treating, so we stayed home and the kids had a "special movie night" and they chose to watch Monsters Inc.- an appropriate Halloween movie if I do say so myself!  We had a great time, and the kids are already scheming up their costumes for next year!  Happy Halloween!

You mean I can EAT the BOWL!!?!???!

Morgan eating her fill

Payton pointing to the Bread Bowl.  He thought the soup was the Beezneez!

The Jigglers...which didn't work out just right.  I didn't have FOUR pkgs of gelatin like it calls for!  Talk about sugar overload! The boys/girls all loved these!  SPOOKY!

Morgs dug on the jello too.  She will eat just about ANYTHING!
