We have had such a great month getting ready for Halloween. It feels like what used to be one night when I was young has now turned into a week long process with even more prep time. I guess if I didn't make such a big out of it, it wouldn't be so much work but this is the most fun part of my job!
Our "Ghosty the Mosty" Monday night pizza.
Carving the pumpkin with Daddy. Our family is lacking the talent of others in this area, but the boys sure had fun.
Visiting our grandparents, showing off our costumes.
At the office with Grandma Jones and cousins. Ben had already disrobed from school.
Halloween night at the ward "Trunk or Treat". I loved that our ward did it the same night as Halloween. Getting Lukey to wear this much of his costume was a chore and one day was enough. We had a great turn out this year and it was very well planned and the food was great. The boys had fun with all their friends.
After telling me for weeks that he wanted to be Yoda, he decided at the last minute that what it took to look like Yoda wasn't worth it. (Fickle two-year old!) Oh, well I had fun making the hat and he loved his belt that held his "Lightsaver".
I think Jeffey was a dead ringer for young Anikan and he kept telling me that Annikan didn't have a light saber when he was a "wittle boy". He loved his costume and didn't take it off all day.
I spent the least amount of time on the costumes this year and the boys had the most fun. Ben loved being Obi Wan and practiced the stance from the movie all week. It was so much fun to watch them trick or treat. Luke loved the candy and eagerly went door to door gathering treats. Ben commented: "These people are giving us candy and they don't know us". Oh, what a wonderful concept!
My Jedi Knights
Lukey was exatic when we let him take the Yoda hat off. Amazing how some $6 light saber and two bed sheets can make my little men so happy! The fun continued when the great pumpkin came and took the candy they left out and left them each a fun Star Wars figurine. Mommy doesn't have to say no to treats and they are entertained for our with their new toys. Now that is what I call a "win-win" situation. Happy Halloween.

Love the costumes. The boys look so handsome. You always do a good job with their costumes! They are lucky to have a creative mommy like you!
Oh your boys looked great! Jackson would have loved trick or treating with you guys!!
Great costumes, I shared it all with Jim (we have to get our boy fun vicariously.) I wish *I* had thought up the great pumpkin idea, we'd have saved a lot of dental costs over the years.
That great pumpkin is a great idea! I just took the "mommy ate all of your candy" route. Yours is way nicer.
What, no mention of how awesome it was to run into your old roommate Crystal at the trunk-or-treat?
