Halloween 2012

We had a great Halloween this year! Ava really started to understand and enjoy it. Noah, not so much.

Ava was Minnie Mouse and Noah was supposed to be a Fireman.

I started out the morning with a small treasure hunt for the kids. I took 4 pictures of where I put each clue and a little note that I read and they had to find each clue. At the end was a little treat. Ava loved it so much that the next morning she asked if we could do a treasure hunt again. Noah just followed along and smiled for the pictures.

Clue #1. 

Clue #2 was in the pumpking

Clue #3

Treats!!!

We headed over to Brian and Melissa house this year for Halloween and what a great neighborhood they have for trick or treating. Some of the houses actually make haunted houses. Many people go all out. There were tons of kids roaming the streets. We headed out around 6. Ava had no problem going up to the houses for candy and every time she came back, she would say "look mommy, candy!" We put Noah in a wagon and he wanted to walk up to the houses too. He had his hands in his bucket by the 3rd house wanting to eat candy. Ava lasted a good hour, but Noah was tired about 1/2 way through. (That would mostly be because he isn't getting great sleep STILL).

Here are the kiddos:

Trick or Treating

Ava's Trick or Treating Buddy, Aunt Jacy

When we came home that evening, we noticed that our street was dead! Not a porch light to be seen. I guess we won't be trick or treating in our neighborhood.
