Halloween was during the coldest week of the year. It was freezing! So cold that most of the time, the kids stayed in during recess. It was record breaking temperatures, but we still managed to have a a fun Halloween week.
We began by carving pumpkins. The boys love to carve pumpkins, but do not always love cleaning out the pumpkins. Mom and Dad helped them get started, but they all designed and carved their own pumpkins. They did a great job, and Dad even carved his little white pumpkin.
 |
| Our boys love carving pumpkins. |
 |
| Seth always wants a scary pumpkin. |
 |
| Dax created this dead pumpkin. It was so good! |
 |
| Mark used some printouts to draw the Buffalo Bils logo. |
 |
| And the BYU logo on the other side. |
 |
| Dad made the Manti Temple. They all turned out amazing! |
We also had tickets to go to Cornbelly's on the coldest day of the week, but it was our only open day, so we headed out there anyway. Despite the cold, we had a lot of fun. When the sun was up, we did as much as we could and enjoyed all the new activities Cornbelly's has added since we last visited. Once the sun was down, it got cold fast. We ran as quickly as we could when they said they were handing out free hot chocolate. It warmed us up, and we stayed a bit longer, but we didn't last too long before we decided we had had enough freezing toes and went to grab dinner.
 |
| We haven't been to Cornbelly's for a few years so we were all excited to go! |
 |
| The theme this year was wizards. |
 |
| We love the big slides. |
 |
| Our boys loved wormed through the tiny rat maze, and Dad tried it, too. He barely made it out! |
 |
| Crazy tilted houses! |
 |
| There were lots of cute cutouts for pictures throughout Cornbelly's. |
 |
| Our boys enjoyed the dog show. |
 |
| We spent the most time in this section. Throwing baseballs, footballs, and basketballs is what makes them happy. |
 |
| We splurged and let them do the airguns. They had so much fun! |
 |
| Dax's pig won the race, so he earned a pig nose! |
 |
| Thank goodness for hot chocolate! |
 |
| Mom and Dad rode in the love carriage! |
Halloween was a little bit warmer, but not much. Mom saw Seth in his Halloween parade and helped in Dax's class party. That night, Mark took Dax and Seth trick or treating while Mom and Dad stayed home to man the door. They got a lot of candy before they came home to warm up. Mark went to a get together with friends and they went around trick or treating again before they came back and played games at his friend's house. It was a great baseball Halloween!
 |
| Dax was excited that the Nationals won the World Series the night before! |
 |
| Seth was Alex Cora (the Red Sox manager). |
 |
| Mom had fun helping at the Halloween party in Dad's class. |
 |
| We went with a baseball theme this year! |
 |
| Mark got driven around with his friends for his second round through the neighborhood. |
 |
| Mark really has a great group of friends. |
 |
| He got TOO much candy! |
