Halloween Fun 2010

Fall Festival and Pumpkin Patch

There is a church up the street from our house that has a great pumpkin patch every year. It is where we have gotten our pumpkins for the last four or five years. Our neighbors, the Donaldsons, attend church there and invited us to the church's Fall Festival this year. So, we decided to pick out our pumpkins while enjoying the fun of the Fall Festival. I love this time of year!

My Gym Halloween Party

My Gym held a Halloween Costume party this year on Monday, the 25th. The boys got to wear their costumes for the first time and play at My Gym for an entire hour. They were both in heaven!!

Brody's Class Halloween Party

Brody's class had a Halloween Pizza Party on Friday, the 29th. I am so happy that Colby and I were able to join him. It is always fun to watch Brody interact with the friends in his class.

Brody was so happy! Pizza, popcorn, and cupcakes...who wouldn't be?

Colby thought he was just one of the big kids

Carving/Painting Our Pumpkins

We had so much fun working on our pumpkins this year. Jason always does a great job with the carving, and the boys showed their artistic skill this year too by painting a pumpkin. Brody did great and got most of his paint on the pumpkin. Colby, on the other hand, had just as much paint on him and his clothes as he did on the pumpkin. Oh well...they had fun, and the pumpkins all looked awesome!

So excited about carving the pumpkins

Ready to get started

Halloween Night

Halloween was so much fun this year! We started the night eating chili and hot dogs at our house with a few neighbors, my parents, and Jason's brother and his family. All of the kids looked so great in their costumes, and they were all super excited about going trick or treating, even Colby. I wasn't sure how Colby would do with trick or treating for two reasons...1)he is still pretty young and 2) he had been running a fever all day. Like the trooper he is, though, he was not going to miss out on trick or treating and getting candy. He was so funny walking with the big kids. Every time someone picked him up, he would say "Walk!" and demand to be put down. He even knew exactly what to do thanks to Brody's guidance. He walked straight up to the door, said "chick cheat," and then said "dank da" when they put candy in his bag. I could have watched Brody and Colby trick or treat together all night!

Brody and Remi

Colby was really not feeling well by the end of the night. I took him to the doctor the next morning about his fever and found out he had strep throat! This little guy doesn't even slow down for strep throat. He is one tough boy!

Brody is one sweet big brother too! He always takes good care of Colby, especially when he is not feeling well.
