This Is Halloween!

So....I feel like I've been through a marathon of Halloween festivities this year. One day of Halloween is enough for me (especially when it falls on game day).
But we had 3 days full of fun.

(Deacon as an Air Force Pilot, looking off into the wild blue yonder, and Scarlett the little Bumblebee.)

It all started on Thursday. The University of Florida's Sorority Row holds an annual "Ghouls, Goblins & Greeks" festival. They always get a huge turn out there so I decided to take the kids.
It actually was tons of fun. Each House had a different theme, with games and candies.

Then...Friday morning we had the Costume Parade at Deacon's preschool.

Friday Night: The ward Trunk or Treat.


The ward put on a really special Talent Show. It was terrible. However, there was this rock bank that some high school members put together. They were equally terrible, singing Rihanna's "Umbrella". Bless their hearts. Lucky for them, Scarlett loved them and was dancing her little heart out, all by herself.

Unfortunately, because the Talent Show ran so long, by the time it was 10 pm it was only half over, so we didn't get to stay for the actual Trunk-or-Treat. I was too tired.

Then, finally, the real Halloween came and we just hung out in the 'hood.

The kids had so much fun. Deacon is obsessed with his costume still. I mean, can you blame him? He's worn it 3 days in a row! But, I'm glad it's over...I'm Halloween'd out!

I'm late commenting Linds, but I think the trunk or treat/talent show is hillarious! Whoever planned that doesn't have kids!
Your kids are so darling in their costumes. They're so cute you ought to have another one! Love you!!
