Halloween Recap

Molly was Little Red Riding Hood.Stockton was a skeleton.We started our Halloween celebrations one week early with a party at my mom and dad's. Of course my mom goes all out planning games, making treats, giving presents, etc..

A trip to the pumpkin patch AND a pinata were also included in this party.

Molly thoroughly enjoyed herself and I thoroughly enjoyed the white-chocolate caramel-covered apples that my mom sent home with us. Mmm-mmm good!The night before Halloween we headed to Sandy for some more fun. Food was eaten, games were played, pictures were taken.We played pin the mouth on the jack-o-lantern. (Molly made the jack-o-lantern, I think she did a great job!) See those mouths lined up off to the side? Those were all those that didn't make it on the right wall; Molly moved them over there later. Oh yes, we had to make up a "Halloween-y" name; names like, "Megavich," "Justin the Ripper," "The Halloweener," "Witchy-Poo," and "Punkadilly Heidi."That brings us to Halloween day-wasn't it nice to have it on Saturday? We were going to skip the pumpkin carving because we had done it in Plain City but Justin needed his roasted pumpkin seeds...so we ended up carving...well, Justin and Molly ended up carving.Then, of course, trick-or-treating! Molly was not very good at saying "trick-or-treat" or "thank you" but she kept telling me "Mom, I never knew trick-or-treating could be so much fun!" Here she is, anxiously waiting for the door to open so she can pick her favorite treat. Justin and I were disappointed in her choice of candy, though, hardly any chocolate! Mostly suckers...boo!We ended our night with a heaping bowl of our traditional Halloween meal, taco soup, and a yummy pumpkin roll sprinkled with powdered sugar (also a tradition).

Mmmmm. Roasted pumpkin seeds are the only reason I agree to carving pumpkins. lol. Sounds like a great Halloween. Molly and and Stockton both look cute in their costumes. And with white chocolate caramel apples, how could you not have a great holiday?! ;)
