Halloween 2011

I felt like Halloween was 2 weeks long this year. We had lot's of parties to go to and ended up eating way too much candy. Our first adventure was Hendrix's "school/play group" Halloween party. He refused to wear his Elmo costume and cried when I put it on. So he ended up wearing his UTAH jersey and going as a really cute football fan.

Friday afternoon we were excited to go to my Mom's work for a big in office trick-or-treating and spook alley attraction. This was really cool! My mom works for LDS family services and they dedicated one entire floor to a haunted spook alley, the yellow brick road (with balloon animals at the end), a spooky pumpkin walk with really cooled carved pumpkins and trick-or-treating. The boys absolutely loved it and wanted to go through the spook alley a second time. I thought they would be a little bit scared but I was wrong. We ended up leaving with lot's of candy and balloons. I was a tid bit grumpy due to claustraphobia/nausea but ended up having a great time! Thanks again Mom!

Saturday was out ward truck-or-treat which we ended up sluffing because Hendrix really needed a nap and Jordan was finishing up our fence (whoo hoo! We have a fence again). Later that night was Judy's big Halloween party where we play games, read stories, dance around the cupcake walk and eat get lot's of goodies. Hendrix had so much fun playing with his cousins and finding all of the hidden treasures. Thanks for all of your hard work Judy!

Monday. I had to take Hendrix to the pediatrician this morning because he was up all night with that stupid "barky" cough. I knew he had croup. He was too sick to be out in the cold for a long time so we ended up taking him to 5 or 6 houses and came back home to hand out candy. Hendrix loved running to the door the rest of the night to see all of the trick-or-treaters.

Here are a few pics from the Halloween weekend.

 Trick-or-treating at my Mom's work.

 My cute Mom in her "skeleton chef" costume. I'm sad I didn't get a picture of Hendrix with her but we had already left. And look at those adorble ducks! LOVE THEM!

 Brandon as Harry Potter.

 Annie dressed as a cute little witch! Hendrix snuck into the picture. lol.

 Haylie the adorable bumble bee! I'm surprised I got this picture, she did not want to smile for anyone.

 My fuzzy little Elmo. I could squish him right now!

 Jaden and Brooke as characters from Angry Birds... freakin hilarious and quite impressive that Brooke made these all by herself! Good job Brookie!

 And here is Brooke acting out level 1 in Angry Birds. I love them!

Cutest little bunch you've ever seen, right?

I'm lame and didn't take any more pictures this night. Jordan and I didn't dress up (and never do) but I'm sad I didn't get a picture of Hendrix with Judy and Judd. Next year I guess.....
