Halloween

For school Connor dressed up as a nerd again with nerd candies taped all over his shirt.  Caleb was a hula girl with a coconut bra and hula skirt.  Kyle was a monkey of course.  Cayden had a school party and  he finally decided that he wanted to be a pirate after thinking he was going to be a vampire or a magician.  I found his costume at Partyland in Utah after searching 3 other party stores and luckily they had one left and it was just his size.  It had the boots attached to the pants so we did not have to buy separate boots. The school always has a costume parade around the playground and then class parties.  They had a pinata, a pumpkin pick up game like musical chairs and freeze dance.   Of course there were snacks as well.  I did not sign up to bring in anything to his party because I knew we were just getting back into town on Sunday and I just did not know how it would go with Kyle during the day so I might not have had time to make anything.  I stopped at Wally's on the way to the school and spent $15 on two bags of chips and a ranch dip.  Nice!  After school Connor and dad carved his pumpkin, we made chili and cornbread (a traditional Halloween meal)  and we waited until about 5pm to start the trick or treating.  Caleb went with a few friends to the Trunk or Treat at the Fairgrounds and Don and I took Cayden and Kyle around to our neighborhood and the next one over.  Caleb was "dressed up" as the 7 seas with 7 letter c's taped to his shirt.  Connor stayed at the house and had a set up on the porch so that he did not have to get up and answer the door all evening.  He was pretty determined as to what he wanted and how it would all work.  After we finished around the neighborhoods, we headed home to answer our door.  We had lots of visitors who wanted to see Kyle so it was fun to show him off.  Connor decided that by 8:15 we were done and so he had his front porch display all cleaned up and put away.   Caleb came home around 8 without his friend because come to find out they had left the parks and rec thing and went to a neighborhood close by to trick or treat but with out telling anyone.  His friend tripped while they were running and split his head open as well as his hand so he went to the ER.  We had to have a big discussion with Caleb about being where he was supposed to be and understanding that had he stayed where he was supposed to then his friend would not have gotten hurt.  We found out the next day that his friend did not go to the ER but his parents superglued his cuts together.  They did take him to the urgent care later on Tuesday though because he had actually broken his pinkie.

Now the faces-Caleb's friend is from England and they don't celebrate Halloween like we do so it was fun to have him participate with us.
