Halloween Activities

This was the first year it felt like Soren really understood and was excited about the activities that lead up to Halloween. It was fun to see him get caught up in the holiday spirit of it all. Even Sevi pulled out a Halloween book to be read to him every day. This year we had the Great Pumpkin come visit the house, in which he took the Halloween candy and traded it for a gift. It worked wonderfully and will be a tradition we will try to hold onto.


We decorated pumpkin cupcakes in the shapes of ghosts. It was fun to deliver these treats to friends and neighbors.

I love that Soren is still into the "innocent" costumes. This year he picked a cow that a friend offered. It was a cute costume and fit well from the front.........


But it was a few inches too short from the back!!!!


Sevi had a fever Halloween night and stayed home to hand out treats. With Soren and Sevi dressed as farm animals, Soren had the great idea for Randy and I to dress as farmers so we could be a working farm family. If we can get Soren to stop growing, perhaps we can try that idea for next year.
