Halloween

 We had a great, busy, fun filled Halloween weekend filled with parties and lots of treats. The kids kicked off the weekend on Friday with their Halloween parade and parties at school. They were so excited! Here they are ready for school. Let me introduce Sir Knight King Michael and the purple witch Karen.

They had a blast and the room mothers did such a great job preparing the parties for the kids. We also had a Fall Festival at our ward. There were a lot of fun carnival type games, but the one the kids enjoyed the most was the donut eating contest. As you can see they each missed a few times, though I think Michael had better aim then Karen (see pics below).









With such a full weekend and no costumes at school on Monday, Halloween was almost anti-climatic for me, until the trick-or-treaters started coming. Karen and Michael suddenly got very excited and their excitement was contagious. Michael is the "black spiderman" or Venom and Karen again is the purple witch. Face painting done by me. (you can get face paint done by me too, see the top right hand side for my website)

They kids had a blast and the weather was perfect, mild and not too cold. They stayed out longer and went to more homes than previous years and came home with quite a haul with several full size candy bars. We didn't hit the jackpot though, we missed out on one street in our neighborhood that had homemade donuts, soda, pizza, hot dogs, & hot chocolate. We are definitely hitting that street next year. Dang!
