Of course the kids were excited for Halloween this year. I don't know that Brooklyn understood a lot, but caught right on that you get treats. Kynadi on the other hand knew exactly what the holiday is all about. Well, as you can see Kynadi was a giraffe, Brooklyn was a dragon--we put bows on top so she looked more like a girl, but it didn't work too well, and then Linken was the cutest clown ever.
It seemed like Halloween went on and on. We had the halloween "party" at story time, as well as Brooklyn getting dressed up for her pre-school, and then Kynadi having her own pre-school party. Finally we had Halloween and went Trick-or-Treating. We started with the trunk-or-treat at the Stake center, with Penny and her kids. We love them, and have lots of fun with them, so I was excited they came with us, for at least part of the night. After the trunk or treat, we went up to the "big" houses in hopes of getting some good treats. That didn't work out so well, nothing special. After that, John wanted to go to Rock Springs to some buddies houses, so we took Penny and the kids home and headed to RS. This is where we hit the jack pot. We went to a neighborhood in Rock Springs and everyone gave out the normal size candy bars. We weren't there long, but sure got a lot in the little time we were. We came home to tally up our goods. In totally we beat Brynn with 14lbs of candy!!! Yikes, way too much and my poor kids hardley got any of it; either John and I ate it or it got thrown away.
Getting the "guts" out of the pumpkins.
Our final results
Brooklyn helping Linken at story time.
Here's the goods...look at how much compared to my hand.

14 pounds of candy?! Dang, I'm coming trick-or-treating with you guys next year! (It didn't help our total with the fact that our ward didn't do a trunk-or-treat this year-load of crap if you ask me, but that's another story:)
