Miscellaneous October Pics

Halloween Night!

Between the church parties, school parties, and Halloween - Olive seemed to have many different costumes this year.  She loved that she could be something different each time.

Halloween is such a fun day.  The kids were so anxious for night to come.  We put out all our carved pumpkins, and then decorated quite a few more.

"Goyle" our Halloween gargoyle had been around all month doing mischievous things.  He left the kids a note today to say goodbye.

While waiting for Treat-or-Treat time, the kids loved watching "Disney Halloween Treat."  This has become a fun tradition on Halloween.

For Halloween night, Karly was the cutest unicorn ever!  This was a great costume because it kept her nice and warm.

Check out that sassy photo bomber in the background. 

These kids were ready to finally go get some more treats!

I love watching them together on Halloween night. They are all so cute and giddy.  I know someday soon they won't all be trick-or-treating together, so I'm trying to cherish these happy memories.

The pathway to our door looked pretty good this year. Eden made it seem so creepy.

Once we finished trick-or-treating, Eden and Bentley had some great bargaining going on.  He gave her all his chocolate for everything in her pile that wasn't chocolate.  It was a win-win.  Karly and Olive were just anxious to eat their candy and finish watching "Halloween Treat."

It was such a fun night.  I love that the kids bring such a fun and magical energy to all the holidays right now.

Preschool Halloween Party

These girls are lucky because they got to attend so many Halloween parties!  Olive was so excited to have Karly at her preschool.  It was very sweet.

They sang us some cute Halloween songs and Olive stole the show.  She sure loves to perform.

She has the same four teachers as Bentley had.  Ms. Carmen, Ms. Anette, Mr. Anthony and Mr. Charles.  It's an interesting and fun dynamic.  My kids sure have loved Parky's Pals! 

Ward Halloween Party

The ward truck-or-treat party is always a fun night.  Eden wanted to be a witch and match her hair, hat, and costume with her bestie Avery Haslam.   Bentley was a wizard.  Karly and Olive were cheerleaders.

These two little ladies were very fond of a leaf bug friend they found before we left.  They were sad he couldn't go to the party too.

This wizard looks like he has something tricky up his sleeve.

The cheerleaders didn't love that they had to get their hair combed, but they sure did love their pom-poms!

At the church, they were quick to run and find their friends.

I loved that Molly wanted to be a cloud.  Her mom nailed that costume.

And Eden and Avery were cute twin witches.

We left with big bags full of candy, and tired little ones.  It was a successful night.

Galloping Grace Pumpkin Patch

It just doesn't feel like the month of October is complete without a visit to the pumpkin patch.  Galloping Grace is one of our favorites and we come every year!

Karly's little giggle while feeding the baby goats was adorable.  She was a little startled though when the goat ended up taking and then eating her cup too.

The duck races are always a highlight.  It's not my favorite though because someone always ends up soaked and cold for the rest of the time.

Karly was a good little runner and would gather the ducks at the end and bring them back to the big kids at the start.  She was the one who ended up soaked this year.

The corn pit is a must.  They love it so much they even bring some home in every fold of their clothing and all their pockets.

Bentley was champion of the pumpkin bag toss.  He has pretty good aim! 

While Bentley was spending his time throwing bean bags, the girls enjoyed all the pretend play stations.

Then we finished the day collecting the most perfect pumpkins.  It was a wonderful day at the pumpkin patch!!
