Halloween 2014

This is such a great age for holidays!  Noah and his friends had so much fun the past couple weeks celebrating Fall and Halloween.  The pumpkin patches, parties, games, crafts, etc and of course Trick or Treating!  I look at some of the pictures from yesterday and they remind me of the old pictures you see around Facebook these days of "TBT halloween 1980something".  Makes me happy thinking noah can look back on this stuff :-) I didn't take a lot of pictures trick or treating cause i really enjoyed walking around with Noah. He was so good and so excited!

Halloween Highlights:

This felt skeleton decoration/game kept noah busy for hours!

a couple football sundays we did halloween activities.  Pumpkin decoration and halloween jello

Fall Fest at Cherry Lane

Making pumpkin muffins with mommy

Halloween morning

I do surprise him with a bag full of treats because i do like taking most of his candy away. Id rather let him play with some new stuff then all the sugar.  This year he got: Mickey skeleton stuffed animal, pretend  foam sword, monster inc stickers, darth vador pez dispenser, spider man plate, and 2 blind bags.  

Then Mommy and noah went on a special breakfast date to IHOP. It was free monster pancakes for the kids. Noah was SOOO good (he usually isn't great in restaurants).  We played games with the sugar packs (how many pinks? how many yellow?).  Then when the pancakes arrived he took his job decorating the face very seriously 

Trick or Treat! 

checking out their loot!

Moments to remember:

• The boys were SOO excited to say trick or treat... some houses they ran into the house as soon as the person opened the door
• Sometimes they would sit on the pavement and rest haha
• Noah loved the houses where the dogs came to the door too
• He would say Thank you every time!
• He did not like some of the houses with scary witches or decorations that moved.
• the boys LOVED giving out the candy once we got back to our house! They would give so much of it out (but at that point it was no big deal).  They would ask "do you like chocolate bars? ok have this one"... "how about a glow stick" haha.... one lady actually gave the boys some of her candy cause she said they were the nicest kids all night.... one older boy actually said "ok thats enough" haha. 
• Again this is such a fun age and we love getting excited right along with them :-)
