Happy Halloween

This year for Halloween Corrine dressed up as Minnie Mouse, Ammon was a Penguin (it's a tradition in our family that when your 3 years old, you're a penguin for Halloween-which Ammon was almost to tall for), and Simeon was a knight.



Ammon and I went to a special Monster Mash Tot Time in the morning at the Rec Center. They had games, a cupcake walk, story time and other fun things to do in addition to the normal tot time toys. Ammon especially had fun doing the limbo, then riding around with his new friend Julius on the big wheels.



In the afternoon we watched the costume parade at the school. Thankfully it was very warm, and the kids didn't need jackets over their costumes. This year the teachers all dressed up as Leopards. After the parade Ammon and went to Hy-Vee to do some trick-or-treating.

In the evening we went to the church for a Halloween Party . The kids had alot of fun in the glow in the dark room.


Then we came home and did a little trick-or-treating in the neighborhood. When we got home, Simeon sorted all his candy and wrote down which kind he had and how many of each.


Ammon loves candy. He is famous for saying in his prayers: "Thank you for candy!", so I know he is going to carry his candy bucket with him everywhere he goes!

What cuties! Glad you had a fun Halloween. So, what's the story behind the penguin when your three tradition? How fun! I love the way Simeon took inventory of his candy and recorded it all. That's great!
