Our Halloween experience was so much fun this year and we got lots of it. First we went to my parents trunk or treat and the kids had lots of fun until the end of the night. Callie was loaded up with tons of sugar because every time someone would put something in her bucket she would take it out and try to eat it. So after fighting her the whole way to keep walking and not look at her candy we let her have a few pieces. She got so excited that she started running around and wanting me to chase her. So I did for a minuet until she fell down and bumped her face. It didn't look like she hit it very hard, so I picked her up and laid her on my shoulder until I felt something running down my arm. I looked down to see blood rushing down her face. I held her out and Jason got tissues out of the car. We tried to get her cleaned up, but the blood was still gushing out of her nose. We almost made the decision to go to the ER and then it stopped. She had a pretty good line across her nose and a huge welt on her head. Then, we looked like a murder scene. I was covered in blood, Jason had it on his hands and arms, Callie had it all down her costume, there was a big puddle of blood under us and dad was about to pass out. It was pretty scary, but in the end it wasn't as bad as it looked. Thank Heavens!
Then we went to Alan and Debbie's Trunk or Treat. The kids had a blast and got a ton of candy. I loved to listen to Kolsen because he would say "Trick or treat PLEASE!" It was very sweet and he was a pro by the end of the night. Callie started to get it too.
Then came our Trunk or treat the next week. Our ward did a carnival before we started trick or treating where all the different auxiliaries had an activity. It was fun, ours (The relief society's) was making witch hands
The young men did a haunted house, there was a bean bag pumpkin game, we got to take have professional pictures done, A chili cook off, and a costume parade. It was a blast but after our activity I was wiped out and just wanted to sit and pass out candy. I was worried that Kolsen would want to go around to all the cars, so I made it sound really fun and I said "Kolsen do you want to help me pass out candy?" He got soooo excited and sat next to me with his hand in the bowl ready for the kids. When they would come by he would say "What do you say?" and then he would give them some candy. Also if there was a kid that would walk by us, he would run after them with candy in hand and say "You forgot to trick or treat me!!!" and throw candy in there bag. I think he had more fun with that then going to each car. It was nice for Jason and I to sit and relax too. Plus we had tons of candy already from the other two.

So Halloween night was pretty normal except for my "CUTE KOLSEN STORY"
I love this little boy. He has the biggest heart and is so loving. We wanted to take the kids around but didn't want everyone coming to our door with no candy, so we put 1/2 of our candy out in a bowl in hopes that one person wouldn't take it all. When we got back we stopped at one of our neighbors that we missed and talked for a second and Kolsen ran up ahead. When we got there we were shocked to see that our bowl was still full of candy. But when I looked closer I realised that it wasn't our candy. I though someone must have dumped their candy into our bowl and taken the good stuff that we bought. So we didn't think anything of it and we let Kolsen had it out again. Then when I went to go through Kolsen's candy a few moments later I realized that he didn't have any candy in his pumpkin. I couldn't figure out where it went until he said "Mom it's in our bowl for the trick or treaters." He came home, saw that there was no more candy to pass out, dumped his in the bowl for the other kids and started to pass it out. What a sweet little guy! It was too funny and will be a story we tell for a long time!
Little Tinker Bell
I was so worried about Callie's costume because the first time we put it on, she screamed and yelled at me to take it off. But when I asked her the next time if she wanted to get her costume on she got so excited and when her wings were on she would twirl around and giggle. It was so cute. Good thing she liked it!
This picture was so cute and would have been so much better if they were looking at me and not dad!!

She couldn't figure out what was on his head
This was the night of our trunk or treat. I thought it was a cute picture!
