We love Halloween

Holidays with kids are the best! The month of October is one of our favorite months of the year. The first of October we pull out all our decorations, turn on our favorite Halloween tunes, get some cookies in the oven and get busy. Grant and Eliza love creating their own spooky decorations, Grant made some bats out of construction paper and Eliza made a black cat and pumpkins, we also make ghosts to put on a Halloween tree. We love finding Halloween projects and treats to make. Our favorite thing this year was skeleton cupcakes, the kids had so much fun making them, and I had fun eating them. Our first big event for the month was Grant's school carnival, we all dressed up and had a great time. This year we took advantage of the whole UT theme and had the kids dress up as football players and a cheerleader. The next week we had our ward's Trunk or Treat and got enough candy to last us the rest of the year, and then of course Halloween night, we went trick or treating around the neighborhood and got even more candy. I think we ate candy for about 3 days straight until I finally got smart and hid the candy (I honestly can't remember where I hid it) I'm sure I'll be searching for it soon.
