Halloween Festivities

My parents went to Texas to attend the BYU vs TCU football game. Since we live closer, my girls and I got to go to Idaho and spend four days with my little sister while they were away. We had a great time! Kristi is SO popular-- she had 3 different Halloween parties to attend. Whenever she was in her costume Kinsley thought she and Aila needed to be dressed up too. =)

Carving Pumpkins

We went to Eric's house and carved pumpkins in their garage.

Eric is always SOOOO willing (insert sarcasm here) to stop and pause for a photo...

The finished products....

Family Fun

My parents got back from Texas late Saturday night so we got together Sunday, after church, had lunch and played games. The kids loved seeing each other's costumes. Apparently we didn't get the memo that all of the girls were going to be witches this year... (j/k)

4 witches, Elmo, a poodle, a lady bug, and a Lego

HALLOWEEN DAY

Trick or treat! Eric tried to teach Kinsley the chant "Trick or treat smell my feet give me something good to it. If you don't I don't care I'll pull down your underwear." Kinsley said, "No! Then they'll see me naked!"

Eric got out of work late so we only went to four houses: Salina's, Aunt Shel, Aunt Patti, and Matt's. We had a great time visiting with everyone and Kinsley loved spending time at everyone's houses. When we got home from trick or treating, someone had stolen our big pumpkin off of our porch. What kind of hoodlum steals a child's pumpkin? We never even got to light it.

See all that candy? Keep in mind, we only went to FOUR houses!!!

“I don’t want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenk’s lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor’s children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone’s garden. I want to be there with children’s sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived.”
