Happy Halloween!

It has been about two weeks since my last post. Sorry, life has been chaotic! Last weekend we went to Boo ath the Zoo with Michael and his family. Kyle was Mickey Mouse, Kristen was Minnie. They were so cute together. Ashlee borrowed my old Strawberry Shortcake costume. She got many compliments from the 30+ crowd. Kyle had a blast. He likes the candy but he was more excited about the animals. He asked to see the monkeys the whole time we were there. Of course we started on the wrong side of the zoo so he had to wait until the end.

Later that evening after a much needed nap we had our ward trunk or treat. It was fun. After the trunk or treating there was a baked potato bar for dinner, so we stopped and got dinner on the way home.

Then on Sunday we ran up to the train museum to ride the Trick or Treat train. They had a train running with the cars decorated for Halloween and then there were a few trick or treat stations around the museum. Kyle's friend Drake and his parents met us there. Kyle was really grumpy so we were there for a short time.

Then of course there is Halloween day. Kyle spent most of the morning making treats. We made chocolates, suckers, chocolate dipped strawberries to look like ghosts, and pretzles dipped in chocolates. Kyle liked eating the chocolate best of all. Then he helped me carve his pumpkin. Then that evening, Drake and his dad came over to go trick or treating with Henry and Kyle, while the women stayed home to hand out candy. Henry tells me Kyle ran the whole time. Not to the next house, but just ran down the street. He was just so excited to be outside with all the kids. I think he was on overload.
