Our week of Halloween!

This was a busy Halloween!  We started with dressing up in a variety of costumes, going to a pumpkin patch, party party parties, and trick or treating.  The funniest thing this Halloween seemed to be Blake's variety of costumes.  First he was going to be Wolverine then for his preschool party he was Superman, then finally for Halloween night he was Dash.  He also had to be like Camden quite a bit and dressed up as a storm trooper.  I think we should open up a costume shop!!!!   We also didn't decorate much because we are trying to sell our house.  We didn't want to frighten any buyers away!!!  The pictures start with Halloween and then go back in time to our first Halloween activities. 

We went trick-or-treating with the Race cousins.  Carsyn's the witch, Caden's the skater punk zombie, Blake's Dash from the Incredibles, Nixon's Wolverine, and Camden was Captain Rex from Star Wars the Clone Wars.  We could hardly get out our door.  Every time we opened it there were more trick or treaters!  The kids loved passing out candy and going trick-or-treating of course.  We had fun visiting Grandma and Grandpa Simpson too!  

Here was the tail end of our trick or treating group.  They did not like the scary houses, and when we went up to a house that looked a little scary, Blake would put on his little mask as shown in this picture.  I think he felt a little more safe with it on!

Here is Camden's second grade class on Halloween day.  They had a party and a parade. Camden is the cool Storm Trooper, Captain Rex on the right side of this picture.  

Rex and Superman in the parade. (Blake had to dress up and wanted to be in the parade too.)

Camden and his buddies from his class - and his little buddy Blake.

There were two Captain Rex boys in Camden's class.  The one on the left has a helmet that goes all the way around his head.  He had boots, and a really cool expensive costume.  Camden is the one on the right.  He kept looking at the other boy all morning and asked, why does your helmet go all the way around your head?  Why is your costume different?  He told us it was $50 at Party City!  I told Camden he still was a great Rex with his cheeper costume!!

Costume exchange.  Camden has on Blake's costume.  (It is too big for Blake).  Blake is wearing Camden's old costume from 2 years ago. 

Blake had to have a Superman Jack o lantern!  Notice Superman flying above the 'S' logo!

Camden drew this cute face on his own.  He says it is himself.  Notice the missing teeth.  Too cute!

The little Jack o lantern in the middle is one Camden made as Blake.  They loved carving pumpkins!

We missed our ward Trunk or Treat so we went to Lisa and Brad's trunk or treat with the 5th ward.  Here is everyone lined up with their treats.  Julie, Sean, Jack, Ashlyn, Carsyn, Blake, Caden, Camden  and Nixon.  What a great looking group of kids! (We should have made them all sit a little closer.)   We had fun but missed Shelby's and Jeff's kids!

Blake's a Storm Trooper for the day while we played with some more cousins: Nixon, Sydney, and Ty.

Here are a few pictures from Blake's preschool Halloween party.  He started out as Superman and ended up as Wolverine!  I think Superman was his favorite costume.  What a great pose!

  

Nixon is on the left and Blake on the right.  Two little Wolverines!  
This is our little preschool group trick or treating at our bedroom doors in our house.  Blake had to play it again and again after the party.

The preschool group:  Nixon's Wolverine, Kaylee is Cinderella, Blake is Superman, and Breyson is a Chunky candy bar.  Too cute!

We went to the pumpkin patch and Blake stood at this wagon for quite a while cleaning his pumpkin with a baby wipe.  

Here's a little pre-Halloween dress up....Blake is Wolverine, Camden is the Batman in the middle and Nixon is the other Batman.  My kids love to dress up!
