Halloween '08

Halloween was so much fun this year. My boys really enjoyed the whole month, from decorations, to parties and pumpkins and candy. I think we are fans! Although, as much as I love holidays- it's always good to clean up and move on... 

This year the boys chose their costumes when we saw them at the store, since they were a little undecided. (The pics loaded out of order- what's up with blogger?)

Ollie was a knight, and wanted to be just like Elliott who was a Roman Soldier. Every time someone would ask what he was going to be, he would say "Darth Vader" even after we got his costume. (Thanks Tagen!)
Ready for trick-or-treating. It was so warm outside! The boys were fine with just their long sleeved shirts. It rained the whole time we were out, but it was more like a drizzle so it didn't even bother us.
Ollie's hat had the funniest mesh piece hanging down. It looked so much like a mullet- we just laughed! He would only wear his hat for pictures though- then it was off!

Again- a little out of order. Anyway- this is after everyone had left and the boys were SO hyper- so Adam wore them out a little by wrestling. It's one of their favorite things to do with Daddy.
Aunt Megs and Ollie. He had candy in his mouth non-stop until we brushed his teeth that night. It's funny to not put too much of a limit on how much they eat for this one night!! Ollie also ended up with more than Elliott because every time someone would let him choose from the bowl, of course he would take a handful!!
Grammy and Grandpa Swalberg have been coming to see the boys and man the doors for the last couple of Halloweens. It's always so fun to share the night with them.

Elliott's loot.

From earlier in the week: On the way to preschool. Noah is spiderman.
This is right before our ward party the week before. 
I dressed like a queen, since my boys were both knights. It was fun dressing up for once. I'm sure I'll just wear this every year now!
Adam as "The Bunny." People either laughed, or were freaked out a little by the mask...
