All Things Halloween

Halloween is a beloved holiday here at the Reed home. We celebrate all month long watching movies, baking goodies, and decorating our house. Here are a few of Aidan's many decorations he made this year.
Trick or treating in our neighborhood. The kids could barely contain their excitement.
Yahoooooo!

Their eager chauffeur for the evening.

The return of Batman. Aidan was Batman last year too. He had a Bumblebee Transformer costume but wanted to be the maked crusader once again. The dollar I paid for his costume at a garage sale really paid off. 2 years in a row!
Our cute little candy corn (Jon's favorite candy). When people asked Mikell what she was going to be she said, "A cute candy cowin (Mikell accent). She loved wearing her costume. She didn't complain about the hat at all. When Aidan wore this costume he could hardly wait to rip it off! In fact, I have pictures of him crying in it.

My botched attempt to copy some really cute candy corn cupcakes I saw on a food blog. Oh well, at least they tasted good...

Prizes won from the ward Halloween Party.

After trick-or-treating for 2 hours, we headed to Matt & Chalyn's Halloween party.
Mikell really knows how to party. She passed out on the floor.

What did they put in those suckers???

The morning after. I instructed the kids on how to dump out all their candy, organize it, and give me all their Snickers. Jon already snuck some Butterfingers last night.
It was a fun October and Mikell will most likely cry when I start taking down on the decorations today. Jon and I were schlepps this year and didn't dress up due to the fact that my belly is enormous and Jon worked Saturday night. We ended the night with the kids in bed and Jon coercing me into watching a horribly scary movie called Paranormal Activity. I wish I hadn't watched it as I was stressed out the whole movie and held my pee all night because I was afraid to go in the middle of the night. The things I do for love.
