We got together with the family to do some pumpkin carvings.  Kiara always gets so excited about her pumpkins and we get her a little one.  She likes to carry it around with her and this year Dallin added to the mix by throwing it and dropping it.  Fortunately it survived long enough to be carved.

Last year after halloween Jessica picked up some wizard of oz costumes for the kids for cheap, so this year we were all Wizard of Oz characters.  Kiara was Dorothy, Dallin the tin man, Jessica the wicked witch, and me the scarecrow.  Kiara didn't know who Dorothy was, so Jessica showed them the movie a few weeks ago and Kiara started getting excited about being Dorothy.  I don't think the kids were very entertained by the movie except for the few parts, but at least they had some idea.  I think they both looked great.

Dallin hated wearing the costume as soon as I put it on and he tried to rip it off, but he eventually gave in.  Getting him to keep the hat on was a battle too, but he started to chill out when he saw he could put candy in his bag and run around like a crazy kid.  He even won the award for the cutest costume.  That's my boy!  Except next year we'll have to work for scariest costume or something with a better title.
