Fall Fun and Halloween Stuff

I LOVE Fall in Utah! We took the kids to Pumpkinland in Orem with McKinley's preschool class Allyson, Me, and our kiddos :)

Mommy and the kids in the corn field

McKinley and Mason at a Halloween party thrown by the Rose family - thanks for the invite guys!

The Rose family had a super-fun Halloween party, complete with a pirate treasure hunt, it was awesome!

Ready for the ward Halloween party :)

Pumpkin carving for family night. We painted them the week before, but the kids were a little bugged that we weren't going to be able to light them, so we carved them. Matt and I hadn't carved pumpkins since we were kids, it always seemed like a huge hastle, but it was actually a lot of fun!

Mason was NOT a huge fan of pumpkin guts :)

McKinley, of course, dug right in!

This pretty much describes how Mason felt about the oooey goooey pumpkin guts Watching Dad carve was VERY entertaining!

Yes, Mommy even got in on the fun :)

Our glowing masterpieces

Can you tell they are so proud of their pumpkins? They even stuck jewels on them for some sparkle :)

Trick-or-treating

Luckily it was a warm year, no snow on Halloween! The kids had a total blast - especially McKinley, she LOVES trick-or-treating, she could seriously go all night!

Afterwards we went to the Bowen's for a fun Halloween party - for some reason this picture (that I took right when we got there) was the only one I took at the party :)

Happy Halloween!
