Trick or Treat!

A look back at our SUPER Halloween...
Instead of a Halloween Party at school, Nolan's class had a Pajama Party! So of course this crazy mama had to run out and pick up some new cute p.j.'s for Nolan to sport at school that day! He looked so warm and cozy. They watched Toy Story 3 and had popcorn for a treat! He also had to bring a small pumpkin to paint. He loved picking out just the perfect one! He hasn't brought it home yet, so I'm not sure how it turned out. But he told me he used lots of colors! I'll have to post a picture of his finished masterpiece when it comes home!

The night before we worked hard on creating a special Halloween treat for his friends at school.

We made MONSTER EYES!

Nolan helped me stick the eyeballs onto Rolos! I was so sick that day so Mark had to help out with the production as well! But they turned out pretty cute and Nolan enjoyed passing them out to his friends at the end of the day!

After school we went to visit Daddy at his National CineMedia Halloween Party! They really go all out and even though we came a little late and some departments had cleaned up already, the boys got some yummy treats and enjoyed seeing all the creative decorations!
Mark's department decorated and dressed up like the game and movie: Clue!

He was Professor Plum! Check out his hair...Mallory cut the middle so it looked like he was balding! Later after work we buzzed the sides off too, although I think he actually kind of liked his crazy 'do!


Mark got to leave work a little early that day which was nice because we were able to put the finishing touches on our costumes and head out to Trick or Treat as soon as we saw that our neighbors were home!
Nolan loved running down the street with his cape flapping in the wind!

It was so fun watching Nolan be so independent this year! He would run up to houses all by himself, ring the doorbell, say "Trick or Treat", get his candy, say "Thank you", and run back to the sidewalk ready to head to the next house!

It was fun to see what kinds of candy the boys chose. Heath has a bucket full of "M&M's"- his favorite. And Nolan has a random assortment- chocolate covered pretzels, Skittles, Halloween marshmallows, candy bars, Nerds...he wanted to try it all! Personally, my favorite Halloween candy are DOTS! What's yours?

Our SUPER FAMILY!

SUPER MOMMY and SUPER BABY!!!

SUPER DADDY was quite the sight! Mark wore spandex pants with underwear on the outside! What a good Dad he is to do this for his boys! The boys wore undies on the outside as well, but their shirts were too long and you couldn't really see them. When we put Nolan's on top of his jeans he said, "I already have undies on, I think I need two butts!" Such a funny thinker!

We hit up as many houses as possible around our block and by the time we made it back to our house the boys were exhausted! Heath had spilled his bucket about 4 times and Nolan was starting to walk very S-L-O-W-L-Y!
So we rested for a few minutes and did a little Tebowing too! Ha!

Then we headed out to Oma & Opa's house to do a bit more Trick or Treating, eat some delicious soup, and have some fun with the cousins!!!
Cohen and Heath liked watching for Trick or Treaters out the front door!

We managed to get all the kids to look at the camera for our annual costume shot! Brady was Mario, Payton was a Zoo Keeper, our boys were Super Heroes, Landon was a skunk, and Cohen wore Heathy's costume from last year and was an adorable little dalmation!

We snapped a family picture with SUPER AUNTIE in it too!

And here's a picture of our capes from the back! My mom worked really hard to whip these up in just a few days before my sister came out! She did a great job and helped make our Halloween extra special!

Check out the video below for a couple of clips from our Trick or Treating fun at the first house we went to and at Oma & Opa's...they were so excited at both!
Such great memories caught in photo and film!
