"If you are still in the process of raising children, be aware that the tiny fingerprints that show up on almost every newly cleaned surface, the toys scattered about the house, the piles and piles of laundry to be tackled will disappear all too soon and that you will -- to your surprise -- miss them profoundly."

--Thomas S. Monson, 2009

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

So Halloween has come and gone, and we all had a lot of fun as usual. Here are a lot of pictures of all of our excitement.

The finshed product of our pumpkin carving:



Izzy taking a turn drawing the design she wanted for her pumpkin:


Lily drawing ears on the pumpkin:





Gutting the pumkin. EWWWWW!!!!


Lily really didn't like this part.


Chloe was pretty unsure.

BLAHHH!!!!!!!!!!
Here are the girls in their Super Hero costumes, right before our ward Halloween party. The older two really wanted to be superheros, and so I thought, since Chloe doesn't really care, she can be one too. They each picked their own colour. They were very simple to make, and the girls loved them.





Isabelle said her powers were Strength and Speed:




Lily and Chloe "flying". WOW!!!!! (Its actually just Ben holding them up, and then Ben cropped out of the picture.)




Here they are posing. We told Chloe to put her hands on her hips, and she did this. She is sooo cute!


Izzy's Super Hero stance:


Super Lily!!!!!!!!!!!


This is at the Ward's Trunk-or-Treat Activity. Bobbing for donuts was a favorite!


Chloe, enjoying her donut:


Getting ready for the fishing:




Toss the spider:


Golfing Eyeballs:


Enjoying their candy after the Trunk-or-Treat:




The girls classes at school each had little Halloween Parties. Here is Lily at her playschool:

And Isabelle at Kindergarten. They had made this Giant Orange Pumpkin out of different orange objects:



We took them trick or treating the next day, actual Halloween, just at the mall. It is so much warmer that way. The girls were so excited to get so much candy!
