ben took the boys to the ward halloween party while i was out of town for the weekend. he had to give them suckers before they even got to the party so they would calm down and put their costumes on without freaking out. ben said they were seriously a mess by the end of the night as you can see from the pictures below. but that's what halloween is all about though, right? ...letting your kids gorge themselves on candy while making a sticky mess for you to clean up. they had a great time, so it was worth it. joel was a bat (or a "batty-bat" as he likes to call it).
kadin was a monkey.
i was so sad i missed it, but at least i have this cute shot to make up for that.
on halloween night, we took the boys trick-or-treating with a couple of their favorite friends, sam and charlie. kadin insisted on eating the candy he had received after every house, so we had a hard time moving him along as fast as the older three boys, but they all had a good time and got plenty of candy. one great thing about having so much candy in the house is that i have some excellent leverage to get my boys to eat their broccoli (they call them "trees") and carrots. they have to eat three of each before they get a piece of candy. totally genius. except they are probably eliminating all the healthy benefits of their veggies by immediately eating sugar. oh well. i do what i can.

They are so cute, where did you get to run off to? You are so tiny!!! When I am prego at 28 weeks everyone thinks I am at 40. COunt your blessings!
I completely agree about the veggie leverage--I've been dangling that candy carrot out there for my boys, too. No dropping off candy at the dentist's in this house!!
Hey at least you are teaching your kids about choices and consequences and all that. Oh, and you look great in your prego pic!
Looks like they had fun! I love Halloween and the candy the boys bring home - cause you know I'm sneaking some of it for myself!
I love those costumes! You have the cutest boys, and your belly is looking so cute!
