Halloween

Halloween night we took the kids to this awesome Halloween carnival our town puts on. They do this huge trunk or treat, have fun entertainment, and they have a lot of carnival games for the kids to play. Kenli really liked petting the animals at the petting zoo until a goat tried to eat her tutu. For about 3 days after she would say that goat tried to eat my dress. It was pretty funny. Kenli got to visit the Disney Princesses and Cinderella even painted her face. She was so excited it was hard for her to sit still. Jaxon liked most of the games, although I think he would have been content just playing on the playground that was there.






Halloween Day we finally got around to carving our pumpkins. We had been having some cooler weather but Halloween Day I think it got up to 90 degrees. That night for trick or treating it was probably in the hight 70's. So, we always carve our pumpkins and then let the kids paint them. We thought the kids were old enough and would want to help us gut the pumpkins, but Jaxon freaked when he had the slimy stuff on his hands. I don't know about this kid, but he absolutely hates to get food and other things on his hands and face. Kenli actually liked it and wanted to help.



Jaxon's preschool also threw a Halloween party. They all dressed up, shared candy, and made great Halloween decorations. He really had a blast.


So all in all the kids had plenty of Halloween fun this year. The Sat. before Halloween our ward put on a chili cookoff and a trunk or treat party for the kids. The weather was perfect and the kids had so much fun. Jaxon was done asking for candy after about the 4th car, all he wanted to do was play. Kenli on the other hand couldn't get enough candy, and even though she stuggled to raise her pumpkin bag for the next treat she wasn't going to let anyone touch her candy bag.
