TRUNK OR TREAT
With Halloween on Sunday this year, the ward party was all we really had planned. Which was fine with me, the kids always end up with way too much candy, and that was again the case.
Our vampire princess. Believe it or not, we could not find a pair of those plastic fangs that are always everywhere! We looked at several stores for her, and they were nowhere to be found.
Tr
The character's official name is Tiana, but if you asked Sydnee what she was she answered "Princess and the Frog!" She was dead set on being her even before we shopped for costumes.
She was such a good trick or treater. She would say "trick or treat" to everyone, and always "Thank you!" It was so precious.
Dessert Commando. Jaxson can't stand anything on his face, so he was only in his helmet and face shield for this picture, and he never wore the goggles at all - just like his Grandpa, just like me.
It was too hot to make little Paige wear the pumpkin costume I had that was her size. So a pumpkin shirt had to do.
Enjoying their loot.
Not perfect, but I think this is the only picture we have gotten of the whole family since Paige was in the hospital.
Not only was Sunday Halloween, but it was our ward Primary Program too. Shaye and Jaxson did great on their parts, and it turned out to be a wonderful meeting, as the primary programs always are.
PUMPKIN CARVING
We saved the pumpkins for Sunday so we would have some activities to do as a family that evening. Shaye chose a more playful design this year, and Jaxson went with a spooky pumpkin. They scraped them out, and Sam carved them up.
CANDY APPLES
Have you ever had an apple from Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory? A friend of mine in Bartlesville introduced them to me on one of our shopping trips in Dallas, and now there is one right up the street, it can be trouble! They are awesome... but they are also 7 dollars an apple and I'm sure a million calories. We made some of our own on Sunday while the kids passed out candy to the few trick or treaters we got. They were a good imitation of the others, very yummy! We covered them in caramel, rolled them in chocolate chips, and drizzled them with white chocolate. So good!

We also chose to only do our ward trunk or treat since Halloween was on a Sunday, but our's was inside since it started snowing the day before. I can't believe that it was too hot for you guys!! That spider makes me want to throw-up!! I HATE spiders, especially BIG spiders. You guys look like your doing well and your kids are so cute!!
ooh mail me one of those candy apples PLEASE!!!! I love the kids costumes!
I'm so impressed! You always have such creative activities to do with your kids! I wish I had half of your creativity! You're such a fun mom!
Tell Sam "awesome job on the pumpkin carving!"

ok...so I'm not very fast at the 1/2. My time was 2:07. I would love to one day do anything under 2:00. My friend finished at 1:52. But my goal is one a year, no matter the time. You are going to do great! Especially since you have two full months to train. They say to only train up to about 10 miles for the 1/2, but I always train the full mileage because those extra three miles could be an additional 30 minutes and that's a long time if you've never run that far. You will do great...if I can do it & I'm not built to run, then you can for sure!!
That picture of all you guys is so cute! I ALSO made those exact apples last week....I was craving them. Cute pictures!!!!
