"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

Halloween 2013

 
This year the Hergets came to our place to go Trick or Treating.  We had dinner first, so the kids wouldn't just fill up on candy.  I don't know if it really helped any, haha. 
 
 
The kids had a lot of fun going around our loop.  The weather was great!  Really quite warm, just a little windy. The picture really doesn't show it, but at times there were A LOT of kids!  It was great to see all the costumes.

Too windy for our blow up cat to stay standing


Happy Meila lovin the candy!


Here is Beckam the Cow!  I can't turn this picture for some reason, but you get the idea!


Braxton the Fireman and Lily, eating their candy after....


Jodi got in on the fun and put in one of the kids candy teeth!



All the kids' hauls looked more or less like this:

 
Our house all decorated.  We carved pumpkins too and put them out.  All kids who came to our door loved the big spider on the door window!
 
 

 
 
Here are all of our kids costumes they wore to school that day:


Chloe the bunny


Wiggle that cotton tail


Izzy the Biker Chick


In character, with her new "sleeve" of tattoos.


Lily the Ghost

Olivia made some treats to share at her preschool.  They were sugar free lollipop ghosts haha.
