Halloween Week

For the Peterson family, Halloween was a week long event, beginning the Friday before Halloween with Tori's preschool Halloween party. Lucky for me, I got to substitute in her class for the party, and it was a blast! So many parents were there, and the kids SO cute! I LOVED being there!




The next event was Boo at the Zoo on Saturday morning. This was our first year going to Boo at the Zoo because it is usually so cold, but this year it was absolutely GORGEOUS out! Plus--I made the girls' costumes this year, so I kinda felt like they better wear them enough to make it worth it!

We had to get a picture from behind so that we could see all the wings!


Is he the most adorable little bumble baby ever?


Next up was our ward's play group Halloween party on Tuesday. There were SO many kids there, but the moms in charge seemed to take it all in stride and they did an excellent job! Thanks you guys! The kids LOVED it!






Thursday was trunk or treat for my mom and sister's wards. Of course we had to make the most of it--especially since we grew up with so many of these people. The kids LOVE Bailey--their favorite babysitter, who also happens to be in that ward and was an awesome help when we were trying to help all of the little "trunk or treaters" (or as Tori calls it "treat or trunkers"



FINALLY Halloween came, and we did the traditional trick or treating at Southlands Mall, which is ALWAYS a mess, but we go anyway--its all about the kids, ya know! This year was perfect for the outdoor mall trick or treating.





Then there was dinner between events--hey you do what you gotta do!


Last but not least we hit our ward's trunk or treat, Nana and Papa's house, and the neighbor's (just so that we could say that we went in the neighborhood--Tori was desperate).




What a week! HAPPY HALLOWEEN ALL!

Wow! You've been busy. As the mommy and coordinator of all the Halloween events, I think you deserve a brownie... or maybe some chocolate at least- but I'm sure you got enough of that!
Cute costumes.

They look SUPER cute! O is looking SO big I am in shock right now. He doesn't look like my same baby anymore. What a big boy. I am sad we weren't there for Boo at the Zoo...it looked fun!
