Halloween 2016

Happy Halloween!

Jack the Bum, Jake from State Farm, Lilly the Mermaid, Maddy the Police Officer, Lexi the Flamingo and Flo from Progressive. 

We always enjoy Brent and Julie's wards trunk or treat. After gathering candy we headed to Culver's for dinner. 

 Close ups of the kids costumes. I swear I ordered a costume on Amazon, that was coming from China, Abby's costume was a back up but then the ordered disappeared and this became her costume. Thanks Abby for helping us out. And I just love Lilly with red hair, one day!

 Maddy borrowed some of Uncle Bill's work clothes for a costume. More to come with the group photo of the costume.

 I'll admit this was all my idea. Sometimes I get excited with Pinterest ideas. This was one of them, she luckily was on board and made a darling Flamingo Pink hair and all.

 Cutest kids on the block I'd say! 

 And last but not least Jack. Also a pinterest idea. Jack doesn't love dressing up so this one was easy, holey paints which he owns many, a plaid shirt and a hat. He made the sign all by himself! Clever kid he is. He even got offered some toilet cleaning jobs, which he declined for candy. Just like the bums on the streets!

 Mike pulled off a Jimmy Fallon Halloween party for friends.

We were asked to dress up as Celebrities. I've been wanting to do this costume for years. Flo from Progressive and Jake from State Farm.

 Some of our guests for the evening

Ozzie and Leta 

 Jessica from HDTV fix it show & Bob the Builder

 Collin Ray and rapper

 Hillary and the Donald

 Wayne and Garth

 Ken and Barbie

 Miley and Kid Rock 

 Cruella and her date 

 One of many games Mike played was a Lip Sync Battle, I'll admit the talents came out!

 We also played Thank you Notes, and Box of Lies and Catch Phrase. Always a fun night, just  a lot of work to plan, way to go Mike in planning an awesome party!

My cute little pumpkin after preschool. She said "mom take a picture of me and my pumpkin" love her!

 The only picture of the carved pumpkins we took, well actually that Mike took. He was proud of his fish and line. And spent way to long carving it. BUT when you're watching the World Series sometimes you have lots of extra time.

 Halloween Loveridge party. We enjoyed soup and rolls and then did donuts on a string. It is pretty entertaining, first up the youngest 3. Lilly, Luke and Ashlyn. Luke after seeing his prize, finally just grabbed the donut by two hands and enjoyed! Duh! Why didn't we think of that?

 Next up, Karsyn, Lexi and Eric. Tongues out they were excited to eat also!

 Last up, Jack, Madison and Kamryn. They were also pretty entertaining to watch. We really wanted Bill, Mike and Bryan to go next but we were out of donuts. Darn!

 Halloween fell on a Monday, we woke up and the parade was first up on the days activities. Jen and Kami saved me a seat in the gym, got Lexi and her pink feathers situated and they we waited for the classes. She did leave a trail where ever she went. LOL. Way to make a mark Lexi.

 Jack was pretty excited to race by also. Love the creativity of some costumes. Jack made his own sign and was even offered jobs in return of candy. He declined!

 Emily, Sophie and Maddy are in Mrs Packards class, other cops and robbers are in Mr Limb's class. So glad they chose this instead of their first suggestion Candy Land characters! Much easier I might add! Thanks again Bill for the costumes.

 And the big groups of Cops and Robbers! Maddy, Emily, Sophie, Alli, Ashlyn and Kylie

 I left class parties where I helped Lexi's class decorate rice krispie treats into spiders and Frankensteins, Maddy's class did donut on a string and Jack had lots of fun activities including nachos and cheese to help in Lilly's class. First off they did a parade across the street. 3 girls 9 boys. Mrs Donna is the best! We just love her. The houses across the street (the ones in the photo) are being destroyed for the Bangerter 90th South off ramp. Mrs Donna's house was saved, phew! We love her so much.

Kids came home from school and then we enjoyed mummy dogs (no chili this year--still upset by last years chili drop in my van:) and headed around the block with the Wakleys, Jen and Mike braved the old neighborhood while Lilly and I stayed home and handed out candy.

Kids made such a haul, almost embarrassing how much candy we came home with!
