Halloween

Text from Witches Brew scrapbook page: "Brayden and Elania made witches brew at Brayden’s Parent Preschool and really wanted to make one at home... so they did! The brew consisted of colored water, pumpkin pieces and seeds, puff wheat, oats, noodles, and many spices. They called the pumpkin seeds their “magic beans”. They loved singing about stirring their brew while they were making it."



Text from Trick or Treat scrapbook page:

"I love when Halloween comes because I love to see my kids dressed up in costumes.
It was our first Halloween in Raymond. We went early while it was still light out for pictures and met up with Travis & Mardi’s family. We visited Greg & Jennifer’s house, Bronson & Chanelle’s house, Grandpa & Grandma Smith’s house, and Great Grandpa & Grandma Smith’s house. After that we took the kids trick or treating around the neighborhood. It was still warm enough for awhile that the kids didn’t need coats. As the sun went down, we did end up needing to bundle up.
Elania was the cutest Minnie Mouse. Brayden was a Knight and proud to be one. Teren was an adorable spider. Taylor, Dallin, and Caleb were Jedi Knights. Megan was a sweet strawberry.
Elania & Brayden had a great time and remembered to say thank you after each candy they got. Teren slept in the stroller for the majority of the time.
Once we got home, the kids gave out candy at our house. I think they were more excited to give away candy than get candy. Every time the doorbell rang, they would bolt to the door with sheer excitement. At first they were giving huge handfuls away at a time. We had to remind them not so much or we would run out too fast!
Halloween is so much fun with kids!"
