Here's the post where I detail our Halloween weekend complete with copious amounts of photos for your viewing pleasure. Or displeasure. Or whatever.
Friday night we let the carving begin. May have been a day or two early as the pumpkins almost did not make it until Halloween.
Chomp!
It's a shocker but I actually partook in the carving this year. Luckily, Kris scraped all the guts out for me.
Oh no! Hayley's pumpkin is eating Rex' arm!
Aunt Hayley and Uncle EJ joined us for the fun. Here's everyone standing behind their respective jack-o-lanterns.
Sunday night we had a little cousin party.
Kindra provided the sugar cookies, which in turn provided tons of fun and sprinkles.
Even cousin Steph partook of the fun (and sprinkles)!
Sugar cookie bliss for Rex
Big kid ghost game of some sort that Gracie was in charge of.
Then the little cousins played Pin the Face On the Jack-O-Lantern. Now, I'm a minimal effort kind of gal so the concept and design were very simple but it did provide a generous amount of entertainment for me and Kindra.

Walter's face, he decided to leave the blindfold on.

That's my girl!
Pumpkin bowling was a bit of a bust (the small pumpkin got smashed before we could even play the game but it's all good, the big pumpkin was a least good for a rest).
We also played flashlight tag and had a touchy feely room with such creepy offerings as brains, eyeballs, mummy ears, ghost slime and monkey hearts, ewww!
It wasn't a fancy party but I think everyone had a great time!
Halloween night we went to the ward trunk or treat and played carnival games, jumped in the bouncy castles and trick-or-treated. Fun was had by all. We love Halloween in AZ since it's not so cold you have to wear a jacket!
My girls- a masquerade ball attendee and a pirate princess (or something like that, since I'm such a slacker and didn't even plan a costume for Leelee)
Owen was a dancing skeleton
Colby the Pirate and Darth Rex
(I just have to add that the next day Colby asked me to put on his mustache before we went out and was a little upset that I wouldn't do it.)
The sweetest treat of the night.
I'm a little bummed at how dark this picture is and apparently the editing I did didn't stick.
Matthew came home and carved his pumpkin at the end of the night since he missed our carving party due to a scout camp out.
At the end of the night after Owen had showered he still had a bit of makeup around his eyes and Kris and I thought he looked like a certain celebrity, any guesses?
