Halloween so far

So, we have not crawled in a hole somewhere and died, I just hate my computer and was on strike from blogging, it takes FOREVER to get pictures uploaded to blogger.  This post today has taken over two hours to get the pictures up.  Keep your fingers crossed for me, I am still in negotiations with Jason about my new computer :)  Here are some of our Halloween activities so far.  We went to Gilcrease Orchards with Taylor's joy school class.  It was really fun but hot so it was a quick visit. 
 Hayden loved running all over the place and eating dirt. (I worry so much about this one!)
 This is the first year I made the kids clean out their own pumpkins.  I wish I could blog the 1/2 hour of complaining that went on, but who really wants to hear that?  I couldn't take it after that and finished it all by myself.  One day, one day... I will not have to gut pumpkins :)
 Tyson's school had a trunk or treat which was really fun.  The kids loved getting in their costumes and seeing all the decorated trunks.  This year Tyson is Jack Sparrow and Taylor is Ariel.  They both saw these costumes at Costco one day and begged and begged to have them.  Tyson now hates his costume and I have to force him to wear it.  He is already planning what he will be next year and I think he may burn this costume if he gets a chance.
 Hayden is a gnome.  I bought this costume years ago after Halloween and thought maybe Taylor would like to dress up in it.  I put it on Hayden and we were in love with it.  She is hilarious, and we keep calling her gnomeo.
 Hayden is a candy fiend and will eat anything from anywhere she finds it.  In this picture she has just stolen this sucker, can you believe that face?
 My failed attempt to get a decent picture of all three in their Halloween costumes.  One day I will have a picture where all three are looking half decent and at the camera, right? (This was the best of 4!)
I hope everyone is having a fun Halloween season.  If I have 2 hours to kill I will upload our ward's trunk or treat and Halloween night pictures.  Maybe...
