Happy Halloween!!

I'm DYING over the fact that it's already November and Halloween has come and gone. In my opinion, Halloween is so much more fun now that I have kids. I think Sam "got" Halloween this year. He loved dressing up as Thomas the Train and LOVED that people just kept giving him candy. Lauren just looked cute in her chicken costume and threw a fit every time we tried to keep the hood on her head. Oh well...

We gave Sam a little tutorial on how to trick-or-treat before we left for our ward Trunk or Treat. He rang our door bell and Evan taught him to say "trick or treat" for his candy and then "thank you" after he gave him the candy. It was cute and we could tell Sam was excited! :-)

Lauren found this little pool of ducks to play with at the Trunk or Treat. You can see how it all started...she first just played with the ducks outside of the pool, but before we knew it she was inside and there wasn't anything we could do to get her to stay out!

Her buddy Joel (Lauren and Joel are only three weeks apart) came and joined her. They had a good time crawling around the pool with the ducks.

Sam diligently said "trick or treat" and "thank you" for about the first five cars at the trunk or treat. After that he just told me "he didn't want to say that anymore." Oh well...people still gave him candy and that's all that matters, right? Anyway, a fun day for the Thackers...hope you had a happy Halloween too!
