Halloweekend 2011

Halloweekend was a busy one again this year:  school parties, performances, downtown trick-or-treating, ward trunk-or-treating, pumpkin carving, doughnut making and neighborhood trick-or-treating.

Friday -- Downtown and hospital trick-or-treating...

 Check out Jack's look on his face...

 Taking a little drink/candy break at the hospital...

Saturday -- Ward Trunk-or-Treating

Sunday -- Pumpkin Carving and Doughnut Making

The kids got the privilege of helping clean out their pumpkin's guts.  Kate was not very thrilled.

 Jack was...because he and Dave decided to leave all the guts in their pumpkin to make it look scarier.

 Ty got to color on his pumpkin...

Jack's and Kate's jack-o-lanterns 

We made Aunt Shaunna's recipe for buttermilk doughnuts.  The kids dipped them in the glaze.  And ate some, of course.

 "YOU need to eat a doughnut, Mom."  I'm sure that's what Ty was saying.

 And, just one more picture of Ty eating a doughnut.  I couldn't just pick one picture, he's so cute.

Monday -- Actual "Halloween" Day

Kate's Halloween Extravaganza was in the morning.  The three second grade classes practiced for weeks for this Halloween program.  Kate was SO excited for it.  Jack's class got to come in and watch the performance along with all the families.

Walking into the gym doing the Monster Mash.

 The kids took turns telling jokes, reciting poems and singing songs.

 

 After the performance, the parents/siblings got to stay while the kids had their Halloween party (aka food).

I didn't take any pictures of the kids trick-or-treating around our neighborhood on Halloween night.  It was dark.  Our neighborhood doesn't have many kids in it anymore, but a lot of people went all out with their decorations and treats for the kids.  We felt like we should share our kids with those people that love Halloween.  We trick-or-treated for an hour and a half until the kids were very tired and cold and we didn't even make it all the way around our neighborhood.
