As Usual, Better Late Than Never

Halloween was a blast this year. The weather was amazing (a little warm for my taste, but perfect for trick or treating). We carved 4 pumpkins. Joelle and Emma did their pumpkins by themselves. And of course, in my typical parenting fashion, I forgot to take pictures after they were done (lame :). Anyway, take my word for it, they were cute.

David loves Halloween. He makes it so fun for the kids. He keeps wanting to set up a haunted house in our garage for trick or treaters, but we keep going other places, so it hasn't happened yet. One of these years he'll do it. We went to our old ward for their trunk or treat the night before Halloween. David ended up winning the prize for best decorated trunk. He had a black light and a fog machine going and all these spiders and skulls and grave markers everywhere (all of which he grabbed last minute), it was pretty cool. I thought it was the best trunk (I might be a little biased though :).

Emma was a "Darling Devil" and Joelle was "Double Trouble". They thought that these costumes fit their personalities very well. I wasn't going to argue :).
Jacob loved his BumbleBee costume until we went to the trunk or treat the night before Halloween where he saw someone that was dressed up as Boba Fett. I had a hard time convincing him that his costume was good enough for Halloween. We'll see what happens next year.

Ben was just happy that it was finally Halloween so he could go trick or treating.

Katie loved trick or treating. David said she wanted to keep going even after all the other kids were done. That's my girl. We ended up with over 8lbs. of candy. Our kids don't really like the candy bars which makes David and I very happy. The starbursts are the first things to go in our house. Does that seem weird to anyone else? We all had a great Halloween. Thanks Mike and Amy for letting us hang out in front of your house. It was a great party.
