Halloween

This year, Billy and I haven't been able to do all the things we normally do around this time of the year. We didn't carve pumpkins, we didn't make caramel apples, and we didn't bake sugar cookies shaped like pumpkins and bats. Thanks to Matt and Erin, who watched Logan and Taylor on a Saturday night, Billy and I were able to go to a Haunted House, and that was a lot of fun. I am hoping that by next year, Logan and Taylor will be into Halloween, and all four of us will be able to restart our Halloween traditions.

For various reasons (I waited until the last week to look for costumes, original costumes were overpriced, and it was hard to find cute costumes for babies as little as Logan and Taylor), we had to improvise and try to be creative.

Friday, October 30, was Beggar's Night at the Valley West Mall. I am glad I finally got the chance to check it out, but it wasn't as fun as I imagined it would be. The line for candies was ridiculously long and slow. Maybe next year I'll do what other parents did that night and send Logan and Taylor to cut the line to get their candies. No one could yell at these cute little guys... (who by the way slept through the whole thing!)

Taylor was a cute little pumpkin that night.

And Logan was an adorable little ghost.

On Halloween night was the ward's Trunk or Treat. This time I think we were a little more creative in our costumes. We dressed Logan and Taylor as missionary companions! They looked so stinkin' cute!

Taylor looks exhausted from all this hard work.

But Logan looks excited and ready to convert tons of people.
