Halloween 2009

Halloween is one of our families favorite holidays! There is no double meaning, you get to wear whatever you want the entire month, Witch Hat Parties, Witches Night Out, Wee Little Witches Weekend, Halloween Parties at school and friend's, Pumpkin Patches, Trick or Treating at Dad's work and door to door, Trunk or Treating, the more makeup the better, scary or pretty, handsome or ugly, and lots of late nights watching "scary movies" ie: The Halloween that Almost Wasn't, Mr. Boogedy, The Bride of Boogedy, It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown, ESPECIALLY Hocus Pocus. Halloween would not be complete without Hocus Pocus. My kids quote that movie more than any other movie.

Since I can remember, Halloween has always been my favorite holiday. I have been a witch every Halloween since I was in 2nd grade. My 3 little friends and I were convinced I was a real witch that year when I used my wand to make her Pippy Long Stocking ponytail stick up without the use of wire. Because of my unusual fascination with Witches, my children have come to believe I am a real Witch, more so than there is a Santa Claus. With this prelude, here are this years pictures.

Dallin is our Fireman, Kailee is a Pretty Witch (cause all us good witches are) and Tylie is Boo from Monsters Inc. She seriously made the best Boo ever.

Dallin and Kailee doing what they do best: Teasing and Posing

Kailee guarding (or is she eating) the Trunk or Treat Candy.

Our ward had a costume contest and to no surprise (yes, I am a prideful mother of a freaking cute child), Tylie won cutest costume. With this being said, she had more fun walking this little devil, than playing with her prize or eating her candy.

I thought it was fun that my friend Camber and her daughter dressed as fellow witches.

(Amy, you bugged out before we could get you and Rylie!)

(Sorry for the blurry picture)

We went trick or treating with the Lybberts. The kids had fun, but Dallin and Tyler were the most diligent.

I am the Room Mom for Kailee's class, so I was in charge of their Halloween Party. It was fun and the kids enjoyed it. I am glad that its over. Though, now I have to get ready for the winter party...

Kailee didn't want to wear her hat because it wasn't real. I love how big it is and you cant see her face at all!

Kailee with her "boyfriend". She told me that she "really likes this picture."

Dallin's Class party. His teacher is the best 1st grade teacher ever. Dallin loves her. Leading up to this party, they made frosted Haunted Houses, Halloween books to read as homework, and lots of Halloween poems and activities.
