Halloween 2014

This Halloween was very fun and tiring all in one! I got wrist surgery the day before and so it made things a little more difficult than usual. I have a hard time changing diapers, dressing the kiddos, doing my own hair, holding the boys, etc. My wrist is pretty sensitive and swollen and I can't put more than a pound of pressure in my hand. 
Most of all.. It's ugly sausage fingers and it makes me feel less of a capable mom. I've relied on G to do most diaper changes and loading the kids in the car seats because I can't even do that. 
Anyways...
We started Halloween off by going to G's company Halloween trick or treating at the Ebay building. 
H got the hang of trick or treating very quickly. He was also very good at only taking one (I was very surprised)!
We attempted to get some pictures together with the boys inside but it proved too difficult... Seriously this is the best we got. So.. We went outside and got a few much better ones
H was a lion and D was a skunk! They both were the cutest little animals around! 
I failed at the themed family Halloween this year... So I'll just blame it on my wrist surgery. The boys looked cute and that is all that matters right?
For The first part of trick or treating G took the boys in a small circle up the street and back.
He did not last long. It is definitely exhausting hauling  two children door to door. D loved helping pass out candy!
When he returned I ended up taking just H trick or treating up another street and down. It proved much more difficult with me only having one hand and him not wanting to walk. I brought the wagon but I still had to lift him and carry him to each door. It was worth all the trouble because he really enjoyed trick-or-treating.
When we decided it was too exhausting to trick-or-treat in our neighborhood up and down the hills with such a young child we headed over to my moms house and trick-or-treat it in style. We hopped on a four wheeler and drove from door to door getting great candy! Her neighborhood definitely gives out the best! H got about six full-size candy bars and I really enjoyed going to one of her neighbors who gives out donuts and hot chocolate.
We got home late but the boys really had a blast! All in all it was a wonderful Halloween.
