Halloween 2015

I know we're a week away from Christmas, but this is not the Grinch. It's my Halloween post ;)

Spencer was a zombie for the youth dance and church party, but he totally missed Halloween because he was at a band competition all day and didn't get home until midnight. In fact he almost didn't get to go to the church party either because there was a football game that night, but he got special permission to get there late. The youth ran all the games at the party, and Spencer and Tyler had an awesome room where they popped up and had the kids shoot them with nerf guns. It was a huge success. 

Levi wanted to be a cowboy, which was super easy. He borrowed the vest and chaps from his cousins and gathered the rest from around the house.

Brennan dressed up as Tron. This is the one that took the most amount of work this year, but it was so worth it. We got El wire from amazon for $12 and I carefully sewed it to Spencer's old morphsuit. Then we spray painted an old wrestling helmet someone gave us and taped the El wire around that too. It looked pretty cool in the day but super awesome in the dark!! It was really bright and easy to see!

Dallin was another one of those last-minute deciders. He finally settled on a movie producer/director/videographer. He got the beret and movie clapper thing for Christmas last year. He found the awesome old video camera at D.I. in Utah last summer. 

These are the only pictures I have of Chloe in her Halloween costume, and I'm lucky to have them. Her preschool went trick-or-treating around the high school, which was fun for all involved, but it really wore her out. I took these pictures right after she got home from school, but then she was too cranky the rest of the day for things like crowns and pictures. I found this cute dress (which I like better than most princess dresses out there) at Goodwill for $15.

It took Tyler a long time to decide what he wanted to be this year, which is unusual for him. He finally settled on an old man, because he loves walking/talking like an old person. His inspiration is the old guy George on The Aristocats. It's his favorite Disney character ever.  

Peter was Igor. These three boys have so much fun together!

We got three pumpkins, and they worked in groups of two. This really works out best. They all did a good job agreeing on their designs.

Of course we roasted the pumpkins seeds. This was my favorite recipe I've ever tried. Too bad I can't find it. They cooked at a very high temp for a short amount of time, and they were really crisp.
