We had to get really creative with Max's costume as he wanted to be the new "Pennywise." So I hit up Pintrest for a few ideas and BAM! Another awesome costume was created! Max is usually the only complicated one every year. The other 3 pull something together pretty much on their own.
WARD PARTY:
Max filmed the entire day before our ward Halloween party. We picked him up from the film shoot and headed straight for the party. Carlie and I did his make-up in about 5 minutes outside our car:) Turned out great. He was definitely the hit of the party. He had the best time running around scaring everyone--even the adults:) He had a crowd of kids that followed him around ALL night! CRAZY KID!
Tatum invited her very best friend, Karisma, to the party. It's always a party when these two are together. Tatum is a dead movie star and Karisma was a Monster Softball player. Tatum and her little group of 5th grade friends left the party a little early to go to Ellie's house nearby to just hang out "away from little kids" and exchange candy. Funny how 5th graders feel bothered by "little kids:)"
I somehow missed my Ethan and his friends at the ward party. Ethan seriously rode his bike over to the Goodwill store down the street on this very same day (in the morning). His met up with his good friend, Courdrey, there and they each picked out their Halloween costumes in about 10 minutes. Ethan spent a total of $6 for his cool biker jacket and hat. Such an easy, simple kid--LOVE him:)
PUMPKIN-CARVING WITH THE PARKS:
I think we decided this was our 6th year doing this. The kids look forward to it every year and the carvers (Chris & Kevin) just keep getting better and better!
HALLOWEEN AT HERITAGE:
Heritage Academy allows the students to dress up for Halloween. So here are my 3 kiddos--Ethan as a biker guy (I LOVE how the hat sits on his ears:), Max as Ralphie from "A Christmas Story" (because the Pennywise collar is way too itchy to wear all day). And Carlie as "Agnes"--one of the 3 sisters in the Despicable Me movies (she had 2 other friends at school that dressed up as the other 2 sisters).

HALLOWEEN NIGHT:
We had our neighbors (the Thurmans) come over to our driveway. We set up all our pumpkins and eat dinner together as the Trick-or-Treaters come by. This is the best part of Halloween for me--spending time with our neighbors that we don't see everyday. Ethan and Max had a great time going out with Brandon and Tyler. Overall, just a GREAT night. We LOVED it!
