Trunk or Treat

We had a great time at our ward trunk-or-treat night. Liam was beyond excited for DAYS asking when we were going to go to the "Hawwoween PaRTY!" Here are some photos of my obviously excited super reader in his costume made by Oma. I can't believe we forgot the goggles in these pics!

Super Readers to the Rescue!

Off to Save the World!
I think he makes a pretty good Super Why, don't you?Here are some photos from the party. He loved chasing after Alli in her cute poodle skirt.


They kept holding hands and he'd fall down on purpose to get her to pull him up and they would both laugh hyserically.
They also had the cutest cake walk for the kids. We walked in in the middle of one and the music stopped and there were not enough kids on numbers, so we through Liam in and he won. Yes, he is LICKING his cupcake. He was a wee bit excited that he won and I was trying to take a photo of him with his really adorable cupcakes and then he bends down and licks it. Silly kid.Then right after Liam won, Ethan won. We were lucky. And then actually Allison won but they said her six was a nine, but we still think she won. ;)Ok, how cute is this? Seriously? Look at her little shoes even. Erica, I need your sewing skills. Your can't even see how cute this costume is here.Here are photos from the pumpkin carving contest. Yes, Wes actually brought our Obama pumpkin to the church contest. ;) A lot of people had really great pumpkins, though. Jake won with his, but we got second, so that's ok. :)Don't you love the mummy pumpkin? And then we brought Liam's painted pumpkin and Alli goes, "Liam you painted your pumpkin like it's melting! Wow!" Yep, he really did mean for it to come out that way.
They had a lot of other cute little fun games. When Liam couldn't get the bean bags into the holes at the toss, he just problem solved and moved right on up. Golfing was fun with Bro. Bolingbroke. He actually got his face painted. :)The best was trunk-or-treat though. He LOVED it and got the hang of it very quickly. He would have stopped with just one car because he couldn't actually believe that someone gave him candy!! He would yell, "TRUNK OR TREAT" and then when they put the candy in his bucket, he'd look all astonished and exclaim "THANK YOU!!!!"

He loved the glow sticks he won with the games. He looks like he's directing airport traffic here.
The kids had a lot of fun just running crazy and playing together. It's so wonderful to have good friends. Pretty soon all the kids were running crazy together. We at least knew they'd sleep good--or so I thought.Enjoying his winning cupcakes after the big party. He is still asking to go back to the Halloween Party.
Unfortunately that night he woke up with a fever of 103* and didn't sleep all night. :( Luckily he's feeling better now. It must have just been a little bug. At any rate, I don't think it inflicted on his fun at the party. :)
