It's after Thanksgiving, but I'm just now getting around to Halloween. Such is life right now. My kids always LOVE Halloween, and we had lots of fun this year. For the first time in a long time, we did a family costume for the ward party. Orson got the Chewbacca hoodie from Grandma for his birthday, so we decided we had to do Star Wars costumes. I pieced them all together from things we had around the house, and they turned out great! The force is strong with our family! Sadly not strong enough to get us all in the same place at the party for a group picture.

The kids and I visited a pumpkin patch one afternoon. The corn pool is always a hit!
For Trick-or-Treating, Conrad and Orson wore the Batman and Robin costumes from last year. Conrad has changed so much! Good luck getting them to hold still long enough for a picture though.
Sadly the pumpkins we planted in our garden didn't do well. They kept growing to about 5 pound then rotting on the vine while they were still green. I have no idea what caused it, but we didn't get a single pumpkin. Luckily, store bought pumpkins are still lots of fun to carve. Both Hazel and Eliza designed and carved their own Harry Potter themed pumpkins. Hazel's was a Polyjuice potion pumpkin with half Hermione half a cat, and Eliza just did Hermione. They both were great!
