Halloween

The week of Halloween Logan and Andy had gone down to SLC for a couple of days so we were not able to carve the pumpkins. Well Saturday everything on my to do list crashed into me and had to be done that day. We literally carved the pumpkins 15 minutes before trick-or-treaters came.
I love Halloween. I use to do a family theme and get all into the holiday. Not sure why but I have changed. I still desire that but my frugalness wins out every time. Hopefully my big plans for next year will work out and we will have a rockin' Halloween. Back to topic: This year I had my kids costumes picked out early. However mine and hubby's had not been nor had the candy. So Halloween day we ran to Shopko to get the candy. I thought I would look to see if maybe I could find something for me, I didn't. We then came across the perfect costume for my dear politically minded husband, the POTUS himself. My boys persuaded me to get it so I did. I ended up puttin on Andy's old boot cast and my sling and going out like that. I had a lot of folks worried about what I had done to myself.
Then after pumpkins we had to have our annual witch's brew. We have had this drink every year for as long as I remember even at my house growing up. The same story is told that you must drink the brew before going out into the night to be invisible to all of the ghouls and goblins. This year was the first year Logan was entranced by the brew. In fact, he was into the whole holiday. After dinner we stepped out into the night to trick-or-treat. It was a lot of fun and the kids have enough candy to last a really long time. Enjoy the pictures!!!
