Halloween was fun this year but not as well-planned-out as I'd have liked. I wanted to make a fun spooky dinner like last year, but I just ran out of time! Here's a few pictures from Halloween night.
The boys in their costumes. Caleb was batman and Matthew was a monkey. Alex was a penguin.
Caleb took this next picture of me. It's kind of dark. I was a witch. I added the orange triangles at the bottom of the dress because it was a little short.
Our ward did a trunk-or-treat that night. It was pretty fun. Matthew doesn't remember trick-or-treating last year, so it was fun to watch him figure it out this year. All he knew was that he was getting dressed up in a monkey costume, then we went to the parking lot at the park and he walked around and people gave him candy. You could just see the wheels turning in his head as he was getting the hang of it. It was pretty cute because after he'd get his candy he would tell the people "thank you," but if they didn't hear him because of his soft voice he would stand there and say it over and over again until they'd say "you're welcome," and then he'd move on to the next trunk. Such a sweetie! All my pictures from this point on are of Matt because Caleb found his friend there and they went around together and had a great time, and Alex was asleep.
Can you tell his basket is heavy from his load of candy?
Digging into the goods.
Cute little monkey eating his candy!

Your costumes are great! That monkey outfit is so cute on Matt. You make a cool batman, Caleb! Paula, your dress looks nice. Don't you just love having to alter clothes to be modest :P. Alex is a cute penguin. Did you guys make a movie this year!
That's so cute about Matt saying "thank you" over and over. :) This is the first year we took Ellie trick-or-treating and it really is fun to watch them try to figure it out. Ellie keeps asking now if we can go trick-or-treating. :)
