One fun thing about October is since the major holiday of the month is the very last day, the whole month turns into one big Halloween party. We filled it up to the brim (just like this post!) with pumpkins and costumes and treats.
 |
| 10.2.17 (our Halloween haul from the library (and I had even more on hold!).) |
 |
| 10.3.17 (we stopped at the pumpkin patch on the way home from some Ogden errands one evening) |
 |
| 10.3.17 (it was dusk, so the lighting was less than desirable, not to mention the kids wouldn't hold still, hence the few and fairly blah pumpkin patch photos) |
 |
| 10.3.17 (I love her pumpkin-colored jacket) |
 |
| 10.3.17 (pick 'em!) |
 |
| 10.3.17 (Sam's choice) |
 |
| 10.4.17 (my activity days prepping helper was psyched for this activity) |
 |
| 10.4.17 (not really eating the apple or the caramel - just all the toppings off the outside) |
 |
| 10.19.17 (walking to the Pumpkin Walk with Grandma and KyKy) |
 |
| 10.18.17 (I love that she wanted to wear her costume) |
 |
| 10.19.17 (cute scene about the seasons. this year's theme was: "It's about . . . time") |
 |
| 10.19.17 (same scene - summer) |
 |
| 10.19.17 (same scene - winter. those snowmen were just too dang cute) |
 |
| 10.19.17 (time for one of the local high school's production of Anne of Green Gables. loved this one!) |
 |
| 10.19.17 |
 |
| 10.19.17 (photo op spot in the batmobile) |
 |
| 10.19.17 (a cute rendition of the fable the ants and the grasshopper, if I remember right this was done by an activity days group, which is such a fun idea!) |
 |
| 10.19.17 (my friend from high school did this Moana scene) |
 |
| 10.19.17 ("can't dump this" - talking about clean water and storm drains - ha!) |
 |
| 10.19.17 (cute animals reading stories - I'm a sucker for anything with books) |
 |
| 10.19.17 (I don't remember if this was something specific or just a cute feast for one) |
 |
| 10.19.17 (senior citizen's center bingo time) |
 |
| 10.19.17 (B.C. comic strip) |
 |
| 10.19.17 |
 |
| 10.19.17 (and now for my favorite - there were so many good details in this giant set-up, so there are lots of pictures below) |
 |
| 10.19.17 |
 |
| 10.19.17 |

 |
| 10.19.17 (a lovely tribute to some locals) |
 |
| 10.19.17 |
 |
| 10.19.17 (lots of these peek-through photo op boards were set up in one section. the kids loved them) |
 |
| 10.19.17 |
 |
| 10.19.17 |
 |
| 10.19.17 |
 |
| 10.19.17 (I love the wave) |
 |
| 10.19.17 |
 |
| 10.19.17 (we had a great group pumpkin walking with us - Mugs, my parents, Heatha and Gracie, KyKy and my Elwood grandparents) |
 |
| 10.19.17 (we weren't sure if we'd make it back to grandma's hosue before Halloween, so the kids got some practice trick-or-treating in just in case) |
 |
| 10.19.17 |
 |
| 10.19.17 |
 |

 |
| 10.19.17 (again, because that bush is prime) |

 |
| 10.19.17 |
 |
| 10.25.17 (Music Makers group shot - it feels extra huge this year, but maybe it's always a crazy crew. I noticed a surprising number of dragons this year - I think that was the most popular, next to superheros, of course) |
 |
| 10.25.17 (we do a little trick-or-treat exchange before story time at our Music Makers Halloween party and it was all Cal could talk about for weeks leading up to it) |
 |
| 10.25.17 (Charlie's mom, Erin, reading stories for story and snack time) |
 |

 |
| 10.28.17 (pumpkin party in grandpa and grandma's garage!) |
 |

 |
| 10.28.17 (ta-da!) |
 |
| 10.30.17 (my pumpkins by their pumpkins) |
 |
| 10.30.17 (Callie's on the top step is my fave - she drew it herself and Dad cut it out) |
 |
| 10.30.17 (Our friends invited us to a cookie decorating party, which had to be postponed and then canceled due to sick kids. But they gave us a big ol' bag of cookies, frosting and tons of candy and goodies to decorate them with as a "to-go" cookie kit. So nice!) |
 |
| 10.30.17 (it made for the perfect FHE treat/activity) |
 |
| 10.30.17 |
 |
| 10.31.17 (we were watching our friends Moriah and Rachel in the morning, and they brought pumpkins and paint to share - built in entertainment!) |

(I'm trying a new system for my photos and videos, so let me know
if that link doesn't work well or you don't see two videos when you
click it.)
 |
| 10.31.17 (we brought the burley to carry pumpkin chocolate chip muffins to give to our neighbors as a "reverse trick-or-treat") |
 |
| 10.31.17 (homeward bound with a heavy bucket) |
 |
| 10.31.17 (lovely sky) |
 |
| 10.31.17 (light 'em up!) |
 |

 |
| 10.31.17 (post-trick-or-treat popcorn and treats) |
 |
