Trick or Treat

When the kids got home from school, they had a snack and then we fixed costumes so we could head out for some trick-or-treating. We met up with some friends for the fun!

After trick-or-treating we headed to the church for dinner and the ward trunk-or-treat. Dinner was a soups and rolls. Simple, but delicious. Some of the boys decided to go play soccer on the stage (behind the curtains) during dinner. T came and found me and told me that he had broken one of the stage lights. So, we had to go tell the bishop and then we had to get a broom and clean up all the broken glass. I was very proud of him for telling the truth when it would've been very easy to just leave the mess. I feel bad for him though because all the other boys fled, so it looked like T was the only one misbehaving. But we got the mess clean and enjoyed the rest of the evening!!

There were 3 wards in the parking lot for trunk-or-treat, it was packed. The kids got tons of candy. When we were leaving T told us that his bag was so heavy and that he wanted to weigh it. He put it on the scale and it weighed 5 pounds. That's a lot of candy, especially when you times that by 4. We are going to have candy forever.

When trunk-or-treat was finished we headed to Grandmas' for a little party. We played Halloween Bingo, musical chairs, and decorated pumpkin cookies. The kids had a blast!! During musical chairs it got down to only DH and S. They were running around the chairs, and S had the biggest smile on his face. He wanted to win so badly. Then, the music (singing) stopped and he was the closest to the chair, so he jumped up to sit on it, and DH pulled the chair right out from underneath him. He started crying, DH was laughing. What a mean dad. S really wanted to win. DH apologized and then they played several more times with S always winning. The next day the two of them were playing around and my sweet husband said to his son (in a playful tone, of course) "Do you want me to hurt you?" S just looked at him and said back, "You hurt me enough yesterday." This made DH feel really bad and he had to make it up to S.

It was a busy Halloween, but we all had a great time. By the time all the activities were done for the evening the kids were exhausted, and so was I.

Isn't she the cutest little kitten EVER?

This is the only kind of kitten I ever want to own!

Rock Star!!

You can't really tell in the picture, but he had a red mohawk with blue hair on the side of his head, and the coolest part of his costume was his tatooed sleeve! It was hilarious and he thought he was the coolest kid.

Miss Hannah Montana!

This was a very difficult costume. There were tears over the hair, and the thought of people not knowing who she was. But at the end of the day most people actually knew who she was, and she decided that she actually DID like her costume.

Arrghh!

T really wanted to be something bloody or scary or dead or some other gross typical Halloween costume. When I suggested he be a pirate he was not so sure. Then, grandma said she'd get a costume for him and when he saw it, he decided that it was cool to be a pirate!
