Tate and cute Sadie! They went to a bunch of houses up on her street together!

Andrew, Tate & Abby! I just love following these cute kiddos around! What a fun age!

Travis & Tenille had this 10ft tall scary guy at their house!

Tate and Levi had no fear! Even posed for a picture with him!

Cool little dudes!

Tate & Levi... movin' on after their encounter with the 10ft clown!

SOO excited after receiving bubble gum at this house!!
Their Halloween manners were so stinkin' cute too...
they would say... "thank you and Happy Halloween!"

My traditional chili! Yummm!
Tasted so good while watching the Utes WIN later that night!

I roasted up the pumpkin seeds for everyone to enjoy!
SO SO SO much salt!!! Delish!

Here is Tate's finished jack-o-lantern!

(Kevin and the kids carved them on the front lawn...
Kevin used his electric SAWS ALL!!
that's my man!!! good thinking babe!)

the artwork...

Didn't get the back of Rachel's pumpkin... but it said BOO!

cute pirate look Rach!

Mitchell had drawn out a lizard (of course) on his pumpkin...
I think that's actually where Kev figured the saws-all would come in handy!
Looks awesome!

All Ready For Halloween!

Seriously! I love how excited the kids get for Halloween. They are getting to the age now that I just bring the October totes up from the basement and they go to town! The first week in October I let them have at all the decorations! They were bouncing off the walls! And they actually did a great job with all of the decorations. So creative! Ok, I had fun as well... I always love transforming the house into fall!

Always have to include the pantry cupboard! Great work kids!

Today was the Halloween Parade at the Elementary School. Always such a big hit! Kevin & I were able to get away from work for a bit to go and join in the festivities! After the parade I popped by Tate's preschool and snapped a picture of them at his Halloween party! 2 more days and counting! The kids are SOOO ready! We hit Costco tonight for some candy and will spend their day off tomorrow carving pumpkins and making Chili! LOVE FALL!
