Halloween Fun

 We went to Black Island Farms to get our pumpkins

 Kyler wanted to show that he was strong enough to pull all the pumpkins plus Nathan.... It last a few minutes before Jon had to take over.

Every year at our elementary school the students participate in a Halloween Parade. The 2nd graders sing fun Halloween songs while the entire school parades around. It a lot of fun and the kids love it. 
 Here's the 2nd graders (Landon is in there as well as his cousin Bryon and a bunch of his friends)

 Kyler couldn't wear his actual costume so we made do with Mommy's grey shirt and the hat/ear/trunk from his elephant costume that he wore three years ago.
 Nathan really wanted Dex to dress up but I was not about to go spend money on a costume so I put a bandanna around his neck and said he was a cowboy.
 Landon went as Superman/Clark Kent
 Kyler as a Mummy. He decided what he wanted to be and even told me how to make it. He is in white long johns and then wrapped in shredded white fabric. He really wanted to wear the face make-up so that he would look 'dead'. So we did white on his face and red around his eyes. Besides the fact that he kept unraveling all night, I think he was very pleased.
 Nathan wanted to be Iron Man but didn't want to wear the mask much. (sorry it's blurry, it was the best of him)
 All together
Nathan did wear the mask a little at the Trunk-or-Treat. Here he is with Jon sitting in the back of the van, waiting to start.

Over all it was a great Halloween. The kids had a blast and only 1 threw up that night. (Landon has such a weak stomach and ate way too much junk). The boys are already making plans for next year... we'll see how it turns out.
