halloween....


I took the kids to the park so I could capture a few pictures of them in their halloween costumes last week...but of course little Maguire wanted nothing to do with it.  The only way I could really get any pictures was if he was sitting down.  So this year that's what I got.  


They looked so cute dressed in their ghost costumes!!  Ryker didn't want to be a scary ghost though...he was the "friendly ghost!"


 It's such a busy time and especially now that Ryker is in school.  We had halloween parties almost every day starting with his last dance class Thursday morning.  He loved his hip hop class!  Friday was his school party and I got to go for the last hour.  I just love love love the school.  We had a little pumpkin picnic in the gym, we got to have story time with our magic wands and point to the different letters of the alphabet, we read a halloween version of "the old lady who swallowed the _______", we got to do yoga with them which was really just singing and dancing to a couple of songs, and we also got to do a fun little spider craft.  Saturday morning we went to our friend Ben's halloween party which the kids always love!  I think the highlight was painting pumpkins!!  Both boys loved it and were so excited to come home and show daddy!  Saturday night Cody and I went to a halloween party at some friends house in the ward.  Sunday was a "hallow's eve" party at our house for my little nieces, nephews and cousins!  The kids got to decorate halloween cookies, eat caramel apples and play.  By this point they were beyond tired, but they were both super excited to go trick or treating on Monday night with daddy!



I'm just so happy to have it all done and over with...and cleaned up.  Now it's onto the next thing...whew.  When does the craziness end??.


Having kids just makes all these fun little holidays and traditions so magical.  I just love it!

that was attempt #1.


a couple of weeks before halloween i took the kids to a nearby park and tried snapping a few pics of them in their costumes.  i parked near some trees and got the kids out, started taking pictures when i noticed this van pull up.  the guy sat and watched us for a bit and i started to feel a bit uncomfortable.  then i notice he drove around the parking lot a bit and stopped again and watched.  he continued to do this a few more times and i decided we needed to leave.  i quickly started packing the kids up and the van drove off.  and we left.  i managed to get a couple of pictures, but being the obsessed parent i am needed more.


so....attempt #2!

I wanted ryker to be peter pan sooooo bad, but he would not have it.  finally cody told me i had to let him be whatever he wanted to be...the monkey!  it was easy.  we already had the costume and since we were going away it was better to not worry about the costumes.  maguire made a cute little skunk, even if the costume was a little small...but once again...easy!  haha!!
