Halloween...2012

On Halloween Ashton was so excited to become Harry Potter for the day. He got up and had breakfast and did his chores, then got into his costume...we hadn't had time to spray his hair dark when I did their pictures the other day, so we made sure we had time on Halloween. He looked so cute...

Gunnar had school that day too, but they asked that the kids not dress up. So I took him to storytime at the library where they did get to dress up. Everyone kept saying...Oh it's Harry Potter! So I explained lots of times that no, he's Ron Weasley...his big brother is Harry Potter. Then I got the "Oh yeah, he makes a perfect Ron with his red hair!" Gunnar didn't seem to care...haha :)

While he was at school, I went in to help with Ashton's Halloween party. The head room Mom asked me to take pictures and I gladly said yes...I love that I get asked to do that for things now, and with the busy week it was much easier than having to plan a craft or a treat! And it was a lot of fun to get to see all of the kids in their costumes and snap a picture of each one to print out and send home with them.

Here's Ashton's...

I also did a class picture...

Then it was time to go get Gunnar from school, then run back and get Ashton. Then we only had about an hour and a half before it was time to head over to BJ and Emily's for our annual chili dinner.

A few pictures before we headed over...

 Then off to trick or treat...finally!

They both had so much fun going from house to house and seeing what treats they got. Our cute little neighbor girl Addy ended up joining them :)

Gunnar loved his vampire teeth about as much as any of the candy he got...haha!

They were out for a little over an hour this year before they wanted to head in and check out what they got and hand out candy.

 They loved watching the Charlie Brown Great Pumpkin show this year...they laughed and laughed.

After that we decided to head up to trick or treat at Mrs. Coburn's house (Ashton's kindergarten teacher). She is so sweet and was so happy they came. I have my fingers crossed that she'll teach one more year and Gunnar will get to have her...she loves him!

That was our last stop, then we headed home and had showers, then were off to bed.

Another fun Halloween!
