Halloween part 2

I have always wanted to go to the corn maze in Shelly Idaho and decided this year I was going with or with out anyone. The kids decided to go and here are a few pictures.
The kids started out working together and following the map but as time went on and 2 1/2 hours later we just wanted to find our way out of the maze.

We all made it out of the maze and found out who kidnapped the farmer. It was fun and yes we were all hungry and ready to go home. The kids were ready to get dressed and go trick or treating and to parties with their friends. Our night was fun.

Carlos dressed up as Erkel this year. You know the funny guy from Family Matters from the 90's. He did a great job and his costume cost me all about .80 cents.

Michaela dressed up this year. She is "batman".I was so excited that a high schooler dressed up and had a lot of fun. It seems you go through that rough middle school year where everyone thinks they are too cool and then you go to high school and you just want tot have fun. At least that's what I am noticing with Michaela. She even dresses up in black, white and red for every Highland football game. She loves High school and has many friends.


Carson was a great army guy. I found these at Wal-mart and he had a great time being the older brother taking Carlos trick or treating. I was grateful for him. Having your children far apart can be a disadvantage when it comes to trick or treating because everyone gets invited to parties as they get older. Thank you Carson for being the great big brother you are.

All three of our great children. Michaela is about to get a great catch. They all had a blast as you will see next.

Carson and Carlos at our old ward trunk or treat. They had fun and then we were off to our friend's, the Eborns to trick or treat there.

Michaela with Camryn before she left for her party. Camryn is a little girl in the neighborhood whom Michaela LOVES to babysit.

Carson's finished and lit JACK-O-LANTERN. Isn't it great.

Both Michaela and Carlos's JACK-O-LANTERNS. They all had a great time carving pumpkins. We had fun all day.

The kids hit the jackpot with candy. Carlos is dividing up the candy he likes or doesn't want.

Carson being pooped. Some of the candy he got and he too divided it up into like and dislike pile. This year Carson wanted to go to the Haunted forest but maybe next year. We have been before and it is a worth while haunted place to be on Halloween. I hope you all had a great Halloween and hope to see you back here next year.

great pictures of their costumes. I have never been to a corn maze. I think it would be fun. They look like they all enjoyed them selves. I will return to Pocatello Monday night at 5:15 or 5:30PM. I will call you when I arrive. If you are busy I can call the PPD and get someone to pick me up. The baptism and the baby blessing was wonderful. I best close. O enjoyed the pictures. Dad

Good post and great costume and I really think Carlos captured the "Erkel" character. I am glad that you guys had such a fun night. We had a fun night, too. We went to the trunk or treat at the church. They also had a carnival going on. Loni's baptism was really sweet and well attended (maybe about 25 people- not bad for the busy day). Thanks for sharing the activities of your night. Love, Mom

glad everyone dressed up. they all look great! i love to dress up too. i used to have an excuse with working at SeaWorld but hopefully i can do it a few more years before joss and the baby think its weird!
i got lots of candy too since i won't let jocelyn eat any of her's from the trunk or treat! i am letting her eat a cookie she got from nursery today though. aren't i a nice mom? i figured since she really doesn't know what candy is yet, i should just enjoy it for her! hehehe!!!
