I believe this is how it all went down.
Thursday, October 28th. Camry's little preschool party. They learned a song that Camry loves....A mean old witch with a hat. This was her walking out for the "parade". You can tell that she does not lack confidence! She was so proud of her costume and especially her high heels.
Thursday night we headed to Than's office in the city for the Zinch family Halloween party. They loved Than's costume! Pacen was a little upset that he didn't win any of the 'best costume' prizes (that's why there shouldn't be any prizes!) and we explained to him that if you are a super hero, you pretty much don't win any costume contests. But Than was a good dad and gave Camry and Pacen some "prizes" the next morning for their costumes. They were pretty excited about that.
Friday, October 29th: Pacen's School Parade
Our little iron man. I love the picture with his class. He looks comfortable and happy to be there. His teacher's name is Mrs. Howitt and he loves her. I'm glad for that.
Friday Night: Ward Halloween Party and Trunk or Treat
This was the best picture we got of all of them. Claira went without a nap in the afternoon and was not very happy. She cheered up after a little nap in the car on the way to the church and was a great trick or treater by the end of the night.
At the party, these were the only pictures I took. I pretty much only saw the backs of my kids as they ran around. Claira was in heaven in the bounce house as long as she was the only one in it. Our ward went all out since Halloween was on a Sunday and our kids loved it! Thank you, Lafayette Ward!

Saturday, October 30th. Than's birthday! When you get an ipad for your birthday, that's pretty much all you get. But, so he had something else to open, I bought him his favorite hair gel. I'm so thoughtful. And the kids drew him some classic kid drawings. Can you believe he's 31!?!?!? That night we got a babysitter and shopped and ate at the Cheesecake Factory. It was nice to be on a real date...well, with Gentry, too.
Sunday, October 31st--We crashed! We were so tired. I made him a cake and it was good, but we were just treat-ed out. We had Carrie and Cache over and tried to make donuts and they were okay for a first attempt. We only had one small group of trick or treaters....our house isn't very trick or treater friendly.
And there you have it, folks. That was our Halloween in a nutshell. Here's to next year's Halloween overload!

I love claira crying in that picture and I love your picture frames.
Holy cow! i see James is now in your preschool! I'm glad you found a good group! I was in charge of our Halloween party this year and only then did I truly appreciate Rachel's work on it last year. :) Than must be super happy with the Ipad! Dave just got an iphone and it is the greatest thing ever! i love all of your pictures, beautiful. ... oh and you guys are amazing/crazy driving out to Utah!!!!! Holy cow!!!! You are my hero.
What a family! You guys do more in a month than I do in a year. I don't know how you do it. Cute pictures. What a nice dad to be willing to dress up like that and look like a complete idiot....but do it all for his daughters. Way to go Mickey!!
We laughed so hard at the pics of Than in the MM costume. Not at you, just with you. It is a true testament to what a great dad Than is. And all the pictures to secure all these great memories are a testament to what an awesome mom you are.
