Halloween

COSTUME PARADE

Rachel and Kaden showed off their costumes for all the parents to see. It was fun to watch them walk by.

Rachel smiled and looked at the camera. "Hi, Rachel!", I say. "Hi, Mom!", she utters back.

"Hello, Kaden! Hello! Helllllloooooo!" He wouldn't even look at me. I think he gave his Dad 5 or something then went on his merry old way. I did not exist to him! He must have been concentrating on the line of kids and where he was going next. Yep, that's what I'll tell myself so my feeling won't be hurt!

Poor girl! It was so loud in the gym, but sleep over took her!

AT GRANDPA & NANA BISHOP'S HOUSE

Here are our little stinkers! Rachel was a witch. Kaden was Optimus Prime from Transformers. Tye was a Hot Wheels race car driver. Haley was a lady bug and wasn't very interested in gettting her picture taken!

We didn't do anything fancy this year. We just used whatever came with the costume. I'm determined to be more creative next year, though.

TRUNK-OR-TREAT

Our ward does a trunk-or-treat every year on Halloween day. I have mixed feeling about it, but our kids seem to like it and didn't care that we didn't do any traditional trick-or-treating this year. Our neighbor is in the top right picture. He's very creative every year and didn't disappoint! Our bishop's "trunk" was the llama... it wouldn't look at me, though! Maybe if I would have dressed up it wouldn't be so afraid of me!!! According to Nate I don't need to "dress up" to be a witch!! Ha, ha! No one's ever heard that joke before! Sorry... moving on....


Our fun filled day ended with Tye grabbing his stomach and saying, "My tummy hurts!" I hurried and emptied the treat bowl and handed it to Nate. Within seconds Tye was throwing up. Apparently, Nate wasn't ready for it because the first heave landed on the carpet. I didn't think he had eaten that much candy, but I'm guessing he sneaked more than I thought. He was fine after that. Nate didn't think it was necessary to take a picture. I assured him it was!!

Hope you all had a fun Halloween!
