Boo!

Halloween--whew! What a weekend!! Here's a snapshot:

Friday dawned and there was a tri-ward Halloween play group activity at the church. Sam dressed up as a RACECAR DRIVER and Lindz was her Dorothy--she didn't really have a choice--it was the cutest of her options.Then that night was our ward (church congregation) Halloween party with a carnival, chili cook off and traditional trunk or treat-- our kids got a TON of candy and we passed out 3 bags in 20 minutes. I guess that's what you get with 145 kids in primary--whew! Kaitlyn got to come to this one and while originally she wanted to be a baby and we had the costume all worked out--at the last minute she changed her mind and wanted to be a fairy--good thing she also informed me that her friend Sydni had THE COSTUME she wanted to wear and would I "please call miss Tammy and ask to borrow it"--thankfully it wasn't an issue and she got to be her fairy!The DAY OF Halloween was great. Sam changed his costume idea and wanted to be Bob the Builder, so here are the Three Crazies!!

Kaitlyn the Fairy

Sam the "Bob"

Linz as Dorothy--with her todo (which by the way she insisted on carrying along with her bag of goodies--which was fine until you needed to hold her hand--then things got interesting)

We enjoyed a block party with our neighbors--most of whom we were still trying to get to know where we enjoyed socializing, food a pumpkin carving contest and a bounce house. Then we got ready for trick or treating.

Our kids really made a haul with the candy--we threw out the not so good stuff and were left with 2 HUGE bowls of stuff. But I'm the one that primarily eats it so I throw it out after a couple weeks--please my belly is getting big enough!

Dad was WONDERFUL and took them trick or treating while I stayed home and made these:

Yup, it's a teaser for my next post!
