Halloween 2017

This year's Halloween wasn't too eventful! It was so cold, that we lasted only about an hour out trick-or-treating, and were home before it even got completely dark.



Sutton was Spiderman and Ren was Catboy (from the show PJ Masks).













And can't forget the comparison collages!


I just look at Sutton's height compared to mine in 2013 and then 2017, and it makes me a little sad!


My parents came over and we walked around the neighborhood.


We're always like the first ones out, even though we waited til 6 to start! After awhile, we finally found some houses where people were home. The boys got full buckets, but not crazy full like last year.


There's one cul-de-sac near us that has 3 houses that go all out. This was on that block:


And this:


And this. They also all had firepits out in their driveways with fires and they were all sitting outside, handing out candy. Love it.


After awhile, the boys decided it was time to go home (even though Ren said "Mommy? I LOVE trick-or-treating" about 5 times during the evening). Papa Bruce had been driving his car slowly behind, so we all piled in there and went home. This was the awesome sunset happening just as we were going inside.


Last week, Ren had his school Halloween party on Thursday. They had a costume parade and a fun little party with food and games after.




None of the other kids followed the direction to sit quietly and wait for their turn at the game, except Ren. It was pretty cute. Especially with that little tail sticking out. He definitely seemed quieter and not so goofy in his school atmosphere than he does at home!




And then Sutton had his party on Friday. They also had a parade around the school in their costumes, and then we went back to his classroom for food and games.




We went over to Daddy's classroom a little bit before school let out, because his class was also having a party. Sutton got to step in the pool of noodles they had for a game. GROSS.


Then on Sunday, our church had a trunk or treat in the parking lot. I'm glad we got to wear our costumes so many times! We found a friend who was dressed as Gekko (from the same show as Ren's costume).



Adam set up a trunk and passed out candy to all the kiddos. His was camping themed. It was awesome, everyone loved it! He just piled all his camping gear around, and then put a smoke machine under that pot and covered it with firewood. He told everyone he was making candy stew. :)


There were trunks decorated as Dr. Seuss, Christmas, Star Wars, and this super cute one was Fantastic Beasts. These people had dressed their three dogs up and one of them even did tricks. Loved it.



Sutton liked the football toss. You got candy even if you didn't win!


And Adam found a buddy. :) You see his face looking through the window under the neck? Haha!


Now that Halloween is over, it's time to decorate for Christmas!!
