Happy Halloween Week

We celebrated Halloween for a week.  We started by going to Disneyland and California Adventure for an afternoon.  The kids had minimum days and so we were able to go shortly after lunch.  It wasn't very crowded and we were able to go on a lot of rides.  It was fun to Disneyland all decorated for Halloween! 
We continued the celebration with Talia and Tucker each going to a Halloween party hosted by friends.  Talia made pies and Tucker had a costume party and won the Best Prize Award! 

The Saturday before we Halloween we had 2 more parties to go to.  We had a Swim Halloween Luncheon and the kids had a blast.  They were able to swim but the fun part was that they were able to go down the slide and the high dive.  There were some swimming games involving bobbing for apples and moving pumpkin around in the water.  I forgot to put sunscreen on them and they got sunburned.  I guess that is what happens in October when you live in California!  Saturday night we had our ward Trunk-Or-Treat  which included a chili dinner and costume parade.  We took the neighbor boys with us and gave out a lot of candy and the kids brought home way too much candy. 

Monday night we went trick-or-treating with some neighbors.  It was perfect weather and we even drove the kids up to a neighborhood where they handed out full size candy bars.  Talia and Tucker got pretty excited about that score!  I bought their candy from them after they picked out a few pieces to keep.  Trent takes it to work for the office manager who has a candy jar in her office for the employees and visitors.  It works out great and then we get ride of the candy!  It was a very fun filled week and we made lots of fun memories!
