Halloween 2016

Halloween 2016 is in the books and it couldn't have been any better if we tried!

Tyke got to dress up for preschool and they had a fun Halloween party!  They all exchanged treats and had a great time!  Isn't he the cutest little firefighter?! 

After picking Tyke up from school we headed straight down to Main Street where the local businesses put on some trick or treating fun for all of us.  The boys had so much fun!  We walked a few blocks before calling it quits and heading home for a few minutes.

When we got home Aunt Jenny met us with treats for the boys.  They got spoiled with treats, play-doh, cookies, sunny-d, and light up bracelets to wear trick or treating!  We visited the neighbors for some trick or treating before loading up and heading to Mona to visit the grandparents.

We had a good long visit at Grams and Gramps house!  Cousins Kayson, Matlyn, Swasey and Brigston were all there too.  The kids had fun playing!  Bampa Terry gave the boys big handfuls of treats! 

After leaving the hill we went back to Nephi to Nebo Heights for some good, easy trick or treating.  The boys did great and did most of the work on their own.  Luke was hilarious to watch!  He would growl at people and their "scary" decorations.  He would blow out the candles of the jack-o-lanterns, naughty boy!  And he helped himself to more candy than was offered to him.  One man gave him a handful of treats and Luke looked at him seriously, looked into his bucket, then back at the guys big bowl of candy.  Luke grabbed one more handful of treats, tossed them in his bucket, and ran off screaming "thank you!"  Tyke met two fellow firefighters, Wren and Teagon (we camp with them for Easter and Labor Day, so they're good little buddies) and we had to take pictures of them.  After hitting a few houses we realized that we had forgotten to visit Aunt Tiffy while in Mona!  We did two streets in Nebo Heights and then quickly headed back to Mona for one more quick stop.  The boys were excited to see their "Tee-Tee"!  On the drive back to Nephi we put all of the candy in the trunk of the car, out of sight, because the boys had eaten too much!  Luke had even eaten the wrappers of a few treats too!  Both boys were unhappy with this decision and Luke threw a mega tantrum the entire way back to Nephi!  It was then that we realized it was past dinner time, oops!  So we called in an order to Reed's for dinner.  We grabbed our food and went to Nanna's house to eat and trick or treat.  The boys devoured their grilled cheese sandwiches!  I have never seen them eat like that before!  Poor kiddos were starved.  Nanna gave them both a bag full of treats, play-doh and free frosty booklets to Wendy's!  They also go a chocolate cupcake with a ghost ring on top!  They were spoiled for sure there!  Thanks Nanna!  We had one more stop to make, Uncle Brent's, to see Great Grandma Jean.  Unfortunately we were too late and she had already gone home.  So our one stop turned into two!  The boys got a can of pop and a big bag of M&M's from Uncle Brent and Aunt Tammy.  Grandma Jean gave them each a $2 bill!  We visited with her for a few minutes before calling it quits and taking the boys home for bed.  They made a good haul and ended up with so many treats and prizes!  They were sad when we bathed them and sent them to bed without letting them have anymore candy.  They had definitely had enough to last a week!  Halloween was so much fun this year and we couldn't have asked for a better night!  Happy Halloween 2016!

 

Update 11-1-16: Luke was up, tossing and turning and moaning and crying for about two hours in the middle of the night.  I'm pretty sure he had a tummy ache from all of the junk and wrappers he ate yesterday, dang it!
