Halloween Festivities 2011

I just realized that I had put some pictures of our Halloween festivites up on facebook for some family to see, but never blogged about it!  


We had a fun, busy and stressful at times Halloween season this year.  I had 2 carnivals within 4 days of each other -one was a multi-stake priest/laurel one that our stake was in charge of so the laurel leaders helped out and the other was our ward Halloween carnival that the Laurels were in charge of putting on for the primary kids, with the enlisted help of the rest of the youth in the ward.  It was a busy month full of planning and running around to various stores! Both were a little stressful but turned out great! Unfortunately since I was literally running around like crazy, I do not have any pictures of our boys at the carnival.  They did have fun though!  


Besides those 2 events, we were able to go to a great pumpkin patch for a preschool field trip, go to Tualatin's Giant Pumpkin Regatta races and festival, make some halloween sugar cookies, watch some scary movies and carve pumpkins with the Jensen's, go to the Children's Museum Boo party and of course, do some trick-or-treating Halloween night.  We were so pooped and done with Halloween by the end.  The boys absolutely loved it though, as you will see in the HUGE smiles from the pictures I was able to capture during the month:
