It's Happy Halloween! Boo!

We had a super fun Halloween with lots and lots of parties and candy, of course! This year we did a Star Wars theme. The boys saw the new movie and decided to be clone troopers.
Garrett had a fun party at Joy School. Thanks Miss Claire! His favorite part was hunting for pumpkins, and he frosted a cupcake for dad--what a thoughtful little guy!


Our ward had a fun chili dinner and trunk-or-treat on Thursday. When Wyatt found out about it he said, "Mom, we are going to that." The boys aren't much of chili eaters, but they enjoyed the games and pinata. And, Lissy was a big hit with our personal rendition of Princess Leia. I just have to laugh every time I see her in her costume!

So dang cute...

Wyatt was Captain Rex. He enjoyed a party at school on Friday. He was a little put out, though...I didn't pack his mask and all of the other kids had theirs...Sorry, Gus... He did come out of the thing with lots of goodies.
Getting ready for the big night...We had to drive to a different neighborhood in town. The boys had glow sticks (I didn't get pictures), which pretty much made the night perfect!

Lissy's braids also doubled as earmuffs! Garrett calls them her ears!




We must protect the Princess.

The wait for Dad to get home from work was unbearable! I love trick-or-treating with these two little guys. They just get so excited that they can't stand themselves! After a couple of houses, Garrett made the comment, "They just keep giving me candy." I loved it!


Wyatt loves the getting-part, but mostly the sorting and eating-parts! He counted every piece and even tested out a few new items!




Caught ya!

Caught another one!


Just a little proud of their snag!


Lissy even got in on the candy action!

I agree that Lissy's costume was REALLY adorable. Glad Garrett had fun at the Joyschool party!

Cutest Princess Leia I ever did see. I love the theme idea. It looks like you all had such a good time.

How very awesome, sister!! Seriously, too cool. How did you make that costume for Lissy? And your boys are so great! I'm sad that we're not gonna see you for Thanksgiving. But maybe if Travis gets work off... :)
