At the Halloween Howl!

Halloween this year was crazy busy. We did WAY too much! Alissa also had her birthday on the 29th and celebrated at school with lots of friends. I will post about her real party later. So, Wednesday we went to the Val Vista Lakes Halloween Howl. They had lots of little carnival games and trick or treating for the kids.
Friday was the school parties and the Costume Parade. Alissa took donuts that were shaped and decorated like candy corns for her class and was excited to hear her name over the intercom at school.
Saturday, Kenzie had a soccer game and afterwards we went to Trader Joe's where each child was given a pumpkin to carve. Daddy helped with that! They also did face painting and had a petting zoo for free! It was also our Ward Party! Ryan cooked his super hot chili this year and it sort of became a black market treat! The men would slip into the kitchen to scold their mouths.
Men are crazy, gotta love them. By this night Alissa was already feeling sick, so I pushed her around in the stroller. She helped Mema pass out candy at the trunk or treat and didn't want any for herself, although each boy came home with about 80 pieces. The boys loved all the games and had a blast! By Sunday she was completely sick.
Sunday night we went and spent the evening with my Dad and his wife and her family. It was fun because all my dads kids were there. Alissa was going to stay home but last minute decided she really wanted to go. She didn't want to dress up though so I turned her into a baby(see above) and her Uncle pushed her in a stroller. After awhile she got tired even doing that so my dad took her candy bag around for her. What a nice Grandpa! All in all it was a great holiday but hopefully we will simplify next year! I hope I got it all in there!
