My friend gave me the great suggestion of going to Evans Family Farm on Lehi Main Street. I drive past all the time but have never stopped. They drove us to the pumpkin patch on a hay bale filled trailer and we got to peruse the pumpkin patch to find what we wanted. We're definitely going back next year.
Since I'm on a roll with starting family traditions, we made monster face pizzas for dinner before going out to trick or treat. We missed Great-grandma Brown's assisted living trick or treating. It was on Halloween at 3:00 and I felt like all I'd done the last few weeks was yell at the boys to hurry up, so that, combined with rush hour traffic and getting them dinner, I opted to stay home this year.
Dan's co-workers had their annual pumpkin carving. The boys drew their own faces with pen and I carved it out for them. Their's are the two on the left, first row.

We went trick or treating with our neighbors next door, Brady, Carter and Shay Jensen. We made it to every house in our ward, so about 100 houses. The weather was amazingly mild. Dan has horrible luck with Halloween and had to work again this year, thanks to my mom for handing out our candy.
The Haul
They organized their candy into groups. Brad's favorite is the plain Hersheys Bars and Seth likes the Skittles best.
Brad looking super adorable in his Fireman costume. People would make jokes about them needing to go put out a fire and they'd just say "We're not real firemen" in a voice that implied the adult wasn't very smart.
Seth as a fireman. I usually don't have them dress the same, but Costco had a killer price on these costumes, so I broke my unwritten rule.
