We celebrated Halloween on Saturday, the 30th. A majority of kids in Utah trick-or-treated then, too. Even though the weather was less than ideal, we had a great holiday. The kids only lasted for about 8 or 9 houses. Hazel loved every minute and Cannon got whiny and wet.
We started the evening with our traditional meal of "monster brains". I started that a year or two ago when I saw it on a blog. (If it was yours, let me know because I've forgotten and would like to give credit!). Cannon has called spaghetti "monster brains" for the last year. He prefers his without meatballs aka "witch eyeballs". Hazel likes hers plain. I like mine with yummy red sauce aka "ogre blood". Jarom likes "the works".
Cannon was Buzz Lightyear. He's been planning his costume since July when we were looking at pictures from last year. He loves Toy Story and especially Buzz. He was thrilled when we put on his costume and wanted to sleep in it. Hazel was a pig. She was a pretty darn cute pig. We tried to get her to oink for us. The closest she came was a bark. Close enough, I say.
We started out trick-or-treating in a wagon with 3 umbrellas. We made it to about 4 houses when we decided to turn back and finish in the car. That was a novel idea and we made it to one whole street before coming back home. The weather let up for the last part and made it slightly more enjoyable. When we got home, Cannon and Hazel both handed out candy. I'm pretty sure that was their favorite part.
The highlight of my night was a little girl dressed as a witch who came to our door. She had black and orange stripes all over her hat and dress. Cannon said "Oh, she's a darling Halloween carrot!" Jarom and I tried to apologize but busted up laughing when he shut the door. We'll work on some Halloween costume etiquette for next year.
Jarom ended the night by dumping our entire bucket of candy into some teenager's bag. Score! Some kid lucked out with a solid $8 worth of candy. Looks like we'll be raiding our kids pumpkins for any Sunday trick-or-treaters.
I hope you all had a happy and safe Halloween!

so cute! I love Hazel's costume! and Cannon's of course. That kid sounds so stinkin funny, I will meet you one day cannon!
We went last night too, I loved it, even in the rain. We found a neighborhood with lots of kids out (ours was dead, so weird) and my boys were real troopers, walked for at least a mile and loved every minute of it.
Your kids are the cutest! Looove that piggy. Happy Halloween!
What super cute kids! I love seeing the beautiful pictures you take! Pass on to your husband for me that my 8 year old Brandon LOVED his talk yesterday. He doesn't often listen in Sacrament meeting but he kept telling me over and over again, "Mom, this is a really good talk!". He did a great job keeping the younger members interested, but I guess that shouldn't surprise me. You have a wonderful husband!!!
carter wanted to sleep in his costume too--and actually did saturday night! your kids are too cute!
So cute, both of them. Ashley, I'm so excited that Hazel is doing so good and eating all these foods. What a blessing! I'm so happy for you. She looks great. Both your kids are so stinking cute.
Adorable kids!
Stinkin' cute kids, Ash! :) Love their costumes & how you describe their personalities.
