HaLlOwEeN!!

Halloween is so fun!  :)  It was pretty low key this year, not quite as busy as usual, which was a bonus!  We carved pumpkins with a group of neighbors and friends, it was a fun night!  The boys both did their own (or at least helped).  Jackson came up with his own design - Harry Potter.  And Harrison chose - a creepy spider.  ;)  They turned out very cool!

When it comes time to pick a costume, it's always fun and surprising to see what they end up as! Because it's never what I would have thought they'd pick! 

Jackson is still very into Star Wars, so he chose Anakin Skywalker. But it's not the Anakin from the movies, it's the Anakin from Clone Wars.  (I don't know what that means exactly, but it was important to him.)  :)  
Harrison really wanted to be a super hero, I thought for sure he would pick the Hulk.  But he finally landed on Thor... with muscles. ;)  They both looked very tough!  
Reagan is fun for me, because she could care less about what she is dressed up as!  :)  (As long as it doesn't slow her down!)  So I found this cute little jumper, and since it was unusually hot for October, she went as a very girly candy corn!  :)  
We had a great time at our ward Halloween Party and Trunk-or-Treat.  Patrick competed this year for the best pulled pork!  It was his first try at it and it turned out VERY good!!  After we ate we set out with the kids to get us some sugar.  :)  They loaded up!  Reagan even got into the fun for the first time this year.  She can't sign "Trick-or-Treat" so she went from car to car signing "Please".  :)  It was very cute!  

There is a super fun couple in our ward that always have the most amazing costumes!  This year was a big hit with the little kids!  They came as Elmo and Abby!  :)  There was a line of kids waiting to have their picture taken with them.  Harrison included!  :) 
Reagan happens to be obsessed with Elmo!!  So naturally she became very possessive of him!  Hahaha.  She didn't like sharing him and it took a LONG time to get her to come back to boring old mom!  ;)

The boys made out like bandits on Halloween night, making their way through our whole neighborhood!  (We had to get a picture with their pumpkins!) 
And Reagan stayed home and ate candy while I handed it out!  :)
It was a really great Halloween!  I loved watching all 3 of them get into it this year!  :)
