Pumpkins...we waited until the last week to go and get our pumpkins for Halloween. We had promised Eli we would go to a pumpkin patch and get one. Luckily there was one down the road about a mile. We found several cute pumpkins. Unfortunately it was not stroller friendly so we only got one quick picture. We got four pumpkins total and they were cute. Before trick-or-treating we quickly make two of them into jack-o-lanterns. Eli chose the designs and the
twins chewed on the tops. It was fun, no fights either. See I even took a picture with the pumpkins.
Costumes...so I ho and hummed over this topic forever it seems. I wanted there to be a theme but was unsure where to begin, so I went to my source for creative thinking ( aka friends, family and even posted the question on the twins discussion board.) I was only looking to dress up the boys and Isaac, but my dear sweet hubby insisted that I dress up. Finally, a friend ( thanks Heather W.) suggested the three little pigs, big bad wolf, and little red riding hood, and that is what we went with. So I found three pig hats and noses for the boys, tried to give Isaac ears ( he is growing his hair out again so it sort of worked) and made him a nose, and I made myself a red cape (I am pretty proud of how it turned out and it only took me half an hour). The twins hated their hats and noses and didn't wear them very long, but Eli didn't mind too much.
The boys, grandpa and I went to the ward party and had some fun (unfortunately I came down with a horrific headache and we had to leave early, but I was able to snap a few pictures before we left.)
This is one of Eli playing the doughnut game.
On Halloween Isaac's work had trick-or-treating so off to Ultradent we went. It was a fun time ( we did have to try and figure out how to get the double stroller up a flight of stairs, but we made it!) It was nice to see where daddy worked and meet some of his co-workers.
Isaac was also able to go in early so that he was home when we went trick-or-treating. So the whole family went off to gather some loot. The twins and I headed home after about a block and a half, but Isaac and Eli stayed out for another hour. Overall it was a good day and we have a huge pumpkin full of candy to show for all out effort.
