Halloween!!!

Our Halloween was a very fun one - very low key, but super fun! About a week before Halloween we made this Haunted Gingerbread House! The boys love that kind of stuff. I think it's because they get to munch on the treats as we go.

The finished product. I forgot to take a picture of the back side, but Austin and Koen were in charge of that side. They thought that was so cool. They did a pretty good job too. They love to be able to make something and then look at it for a little while and tell everyone that comes over that we made it.

For Halloween Jaxon was ZORRO! He rubs his face and slobbers way too much to put a mustache on, but he was still the cutest Zorro ever!

Koen was Buzz Lightyear! If anyone asked him what he was going to be for Halloween he would say really fast, "Buzz Whiteyear, Pace Wanger" a.k.a. Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger. It could never be just Buzz or Buzz Lightyear. He has been obsessed with Buzz lately and has watched both Toy Story and Toy Story 2 many many times. He is anxiously waiting for Christmas or his birthday to see if he gets Toy Story 3. He can't wait. He loved being Buzz though, he would pretend to fly (land with style) all over the house.

Austin loved being Mario this year. When they were trick or treating, people would see him and say, "Hi Mario!" and he thought that was the coolest thing. A pretty cute Mario huh?

This was the second time that the boys have done regular trick or treating. We've always done the trunk or treats, etc. but this year we decided to go in our new neighborhood. (Oh yeah - we moved by the way. We are still in the same town, but different house!) They both went for the first time when they were 1 and 3, so they were too young to remember much, but this year they LOVED it! After we went to about 5 or 6 houses, they both felt like they had so much candy. It was so much fun to watch their excitement. At one of the houses they gave out little bags of chips and Koen yelled from the front door of their house, "Mom, I got Cheetohs". He was so excited. They had a great time and I had a great time taking them. Scott and Jaxon stayed at the house to hand out candy. They were super excited about their licorice ropes. Austin made it about 1/8 of the way and was done with it, but Koen downed the whole thing.

Comparing treats! Maybe a little trading as well! They were so excited about all their treats!

We had a great Halloween staying home and taking the boys trick or treating. It was very relaxing and so much fun!
