Halloween x 2

We celebrated Halloween a few days early by going to our local church's Trunk n Treat. Ammah and Papa always join us because this is when costumes are delivered. Ammah always makes the costumes so the boys can hardly contain themselves when they see her truck pull into the driveway. Weeks ago they went to Joanns and picked out the pattern they wanted, then Ammah worked her magic, and out popped these one of a kind, perfect costumes! What the boys want, they get! Thanks Ammah! 

Aunties also joined us this year! More kids mean we need more helpers!

Isaac's not mad, he's just in character!

I think he likes M&Ms!

Last year Isaac was terrified of this shark slide. This year he couldn't wait to fly down it! It's HUGE!

Enjoying a ride!

On the real Halloween we went trick or treating and passed out candy. It was hilarious to see big kids (jr. high and even high schoolers) come to the door and Isaac only drop one little piece of candy in each bag! Our big bag of candy lasted a looong time! I'm still not sure how I feel about Halloween or how we'll celebrate this gross holiday in the future but, for now, all the boys know is costumes from Ammah and a little bit of chocolate!

So fun! You kids looked so great! I noticed you said Halloween was "gross"...what is gross about it? If you don't Halloween you could always celebrate Reformation Day on October 31st. It falls on the same day. One Halloween we passed out information about Reformation Day along with candy :)
