Halloween!

The kids have been looking forward to Halloween for MONTHS, I have had to point out to Noah almost daily what day it was, and how much longer it was until Halloween.  At first both boys wanted to be pirates together, and I had planned on making their Halloween costumes, but with 3 kids and being pregnant, it didn't happen, and Ammon started changing his mind about what he wanted to be.  He went back and forth for a few weeks between wanting to be a pirate, and wanting to be a monster, before he finally settled on a monster.  I waited a few weeks to make sure he wasn't going to change his mind again before I ordered the costumes, and they were both VERY excited when their costumes came in.  Halloween morning when I was getting Noah dressed in his costume for school, Ammon started crying saying HE wanted to be a PIRATE too! Oh dear....luckily Noah shared some of his pirate accessories with Ammon, and he quickly became OK with being a monster again.  Here are some pictures of my cute kiddos in their costumes:
 





 
And here is the treat I "made" to send with Noah to school, they had asked for healthy snacks, and I found this idea on pinterest, Noah thought it was VERY cool.
 
 
After begging all day to go Trick-or-Treating, they were all very excited when it was finally time:


 

 
All that walking was hard work, I think Daddy earned his share of candy too :P

Pumpkin Patch!

This year the boys were very much looking forward to going to a pumpkin patch, we hadn't been able to go last year, and I really wanted to make sure they got to go this fall.  It turns out we had one Friday when we would be up in Reno where it would work out, but the day before it was raining buckets, and more rain was on the forecast for Friday, it didn't look very promising.  I explained beforehand that we might not be able to go if it was raining, and the boys were definitely bummed, however, luck was in our favor and it was a beautiful sunny day!

Ammon's favorite part of the day was riding the ponies:


 
Noah's favorite part of the day was the petting zoo (particularly chasing the chickens, although I wasn't able to get a picture of them doing that)



 
 
McKenna wasn't too impressed by all the animals...
 
 
It is dang near impossible to get a picture of three small children looking at you and smiling all at the same time:





 
They all really enjoyed the bounce houses, even McKenna:
 


 
And they got to ride the train:


 
They all picked out their own little pumpkin, and Ammon specifically picked his because it was "yellow" unlike all the other ones:
