Angry Birds

 So up until this year, I considered Halloween, my second favorite holiday.  I absolutely adore Fall.  It is by far the best season.  The food, the weather, the scenery, not to mention back to school. I mean look at this day we went to the pumpkin patch It was October 29th and it was beautiful.  We did a hay maze, picked out pumpkins, and even watched a tutorial on pumpkin carving.  It was a great way to spend our Saturday.  

 

 

 But I digress...Christmas is the best Holiday hands down.  Please people, don't even try to argue.  You will lose. But since having kids I have really started to love Halloween.  It has been so much fun coming up with creative things for kids costumes.  I had a phase where I really wanted them to be "themed" costumes every year. Where the whole family matched.  Now, I have let that go.  Let them be whatever they want.  It is the one day a year to dress ridiculously, and no one cares.  Paint your face, color your hair, wear moon boots with shorts! Decorations - fun; Candy - fun; Scary movies - fun; Carving pumpkins is disgusting - and totally fun. Look at these creative Jack-o-Lanterns.  They aren't masterpieces but the boys designed them all by themselves.

 But alas, all their hard work would not even get to be shown.  Our "neighborhood" decided it was a good idea to do a trunk or treat this year. And the kicker is they asked us if it was OK to do it in our cul-de-sac.  At first it sounded like it had potential to be fun.  Generally, I think that Trunk o treats are silly.  I mean we live in Bountiful, UT.  Really.  People barley even lock their doors.  Are we really afraid of our neighbors?  Anyway - I will not go into all the details of the night, but the kids were bored and tired, by 6:45 pm (not even dark). Joseph threw-up, and all-in all the night was a bust.  I will vehemently campaign against this atrocity known as Trunk-o-treat next year.  Anyway here are the kiddos in costume: Two angry birds and one evil wizard (Draco Malfoy).  Not to bad for one who hates to sew, right?

Now off to battle the leftover candy...
