Halloween Fun

Halloween is absolutely one of our favorite times of the year! Who doesn't like getting all dressed up, eating sweets and just having fun in the fall weather?!?! That being said, we actually did a ton of fun things for Halloween. We went to a retirement home for an early trick or treating, went to Daddy's work to trick or treat, and even did the trick or treating around the neighborhood with Grandma and Grandpa. It was super fun!

For Halloween, we decided to all dress up as Superman. We were kind of a super family. Anyway, we thought it was a great idea. Poor Alexander, wasn't so sure. He cried so hard every time we put on his outfit. I think the muscles were just too much for him to handle. He did love all the candy that Halloween brought, so hopefully it was worth the sacrifice :)

As I mentioned, the first thing we did was go trick or treating at a retirement center. This didn't actually happen on Halloween, but a week or so before. One of my friends, Katie, invited us to come along with her and her son Eric. It was super fun. They had trick or treating, games and even a little dinner and cookie desert. We had fun going to all the rooms and seeing the seniors out. The boys loved it, and Jacob even loved picking out candies too. I think Alexander's favorite part was getting to decorate his own cookie and eat it. Below are some fun pictures of that night:

Okay, so on to the next fun thing! We went to Scott's work to trick or treat. We just love that they do that! It is fun all getting dressed up and meeting some of his coworkers too. We went trick or treating there first, and the boys loved it. Alexander loved how much candy he was getting, and as his parents, we didn't mind having a little too! The benefits of parenting really are endless. Below are some fun pictures of time with Daddy at his work: 

On Halloween night, we also went to visit Nana and Papa for a few minutes so they could see the kids all dressed up. They live really close to Scott's work, so we went right after trick or treating at his work. It was fun to visit with them and see all their cute decorations. Here are a few fun pictures for you: 

 

 After the fun with Nana and Papa, we went to Wendy's for a quick bite to eat. While we were there, Xander started practicing how to fly on the bars of the line. Such a cutie! Then we went home and waited for Grandma and Grandpa to get there. At this point, we decided the idea of trick or treating was probably past. The kids were getting tired, and just seemed ready to end the night. Just as we were deciding to take them to bed and kick the grandparents out, we changed our minds and took them out again. We didn't go very long, but the kids loved it! Below are some pictures of the rest of the night:

Well, that about wraps up our Halloween Fun, and October! November here we come! Tune in next time for "Alliyah's Birthday Party."
