Weekend Fun and Halloween Shenanigans

This past weekend was such a blast! It started off Saturday morning with a visit from Nicky and Brent who drove down from Utah for the weekend. The kids had a great  time playing games and we had a chance to visit and catch up w/them. Later that day (much later than we anticipated because of a "mysterious illness") Uncle Kyle and Aunt Jennie arrived for the weekend. What a breath of fresh air to have those two around for a few days. They are so easy to please and there is no stress to have a schedule or things planned because we have fun no matter what we do. That night Erin and Dennis came over for dinner and some pumpkin carving. Jennie casually mentioned that her Halloween costume for the following night required a "bumpit" and I about lost it! We have seen infomercials for them and always thought they were so ridiculous so Erin and I had to try them out:

Funny stuff:)

Then, on with the pumpkin carving. I knew Jennie's would be adorable but was not expecting Dennis' to be so creative!

I think everyone had a great time and all the pumpkins turned out super cute

Sunday we went to Erin and Dennis' for fun on the farm.

Then on to the Halloween Shenanigans! We had a lot of fun getting dressed up and ready to head out the door to our pre-trick or treating party. I think everyone looked great and what a fun time! Our street gets completely out of control and I was trying not to have an anxiety attack about the madness. We had a nice big group of adults and the two kiddos so I knew we had a handle on it. Erin and Dennis joined us as did Grandma Stacey and Nicky and Brent. Brent had never had a "real" trick or treating experience so we broke him in while he was here. Him and Nicky put on the plug and socked costume when we got back and they went out for some more trick or treating. We had so many trick or treaters at our house that we were out of candy by 7 pm!
