Trick-or-Treat

 Getting ready to Trick-or-Treat with our besties, the Marchant's...

 And Grandma Julie, who made a really great Angry Bird.

 This was Cameron's first big year of trick-or-treating, and he loved it!

 We had a great time seeing all of our friends.  We love our neighborhood. 

 Anna & Abigail

Hanging with Miss Charity

 Carly had a great time, too.

 Aunt Tricia stayed home to pass out the candy while we ran around the neighborhood.

 The kids were on fire!  I made them pose for me in front of this "lame" house.  Tom has taught them all to yell lame to any house that doesn't have candy-- Thanks, Tom.

 Cameron and Ashton, who is not an Oompa-Loompa, as he informed me.  He's Ferb.

 This is my favorite pic although the quality stinks.  I love Halloween.

This is our favorite house in the neighborhood-- super spooky, full sized candy bars and toys!

 Cameron finally made it to the door after burying his head in my shoulder and closing his eyes.

 And Cameron got a little ride on Daddy's shoulders all the way home.

Happy Halloween!

Halloween Class Parties

 Today was the big day for classroom parties at school. 

 Bryant's class party was amazing.  They had a cake walk, played games, wrapped each other up with toilet paper like mummies, and painted t-shirts.  Wow.

 At the end of the party, they wrapped up their teachers like mummies.

 And, of coarse, my son is a pro with the TP.  It must run in the family :)

 I made candy corn sugar cookies (thank you Pinterest) for both Bryant's and Hallie's classes.

 Hallie's class made paper plate ghosts and did some pumpkin bowling.

 But I lost track of time in Bryant's class and only made it for the last ten minutes of Hallie's.

 Oops!

FHE & Pumpkin Carving

 For FHE tonight we read Max Lucado's story, "You Are Special."  We talked about how God carved each of us, like Eli carved his little wooden wemmicks, and how we are all special in our own way, and that the only one we need to seek approval from is our Father in Heaven.  Then we talked about ways we can stay close to Heavenly Father (prayer, read scriptures, listen to the prophet).

 We made some yummy caramel apples for our treat...

 And carved our pumpkins!

Happy Halloween!
