Halloween Fun Times

Ah, Halloween. After a frantic Thursday night hot gluing the girls costumes were ready for a super fun Friday night get together at a good friend's house. There was nearly a tragic incident when we left without being able to find Mary's hair flower but in some sort of unfathomable whatever it ended up in my car which makes no sense. But hurray.

Halloween mornings start off with a present from mom and dad and grandma and grandpa and this year it was the Sleeping Beauty Barbie horse for each of them which was the cause of much joy and rejoicing. And I even got them the exact same one and put their initial with a sharpie on the hoof so I wouldn't have sadness about who go the pink one. See, I'm learning.

Because it rained and rained I never got really great pics of the girls in their costumes, but I did the best I could. We were all more than thrilled that Tom made it back from his last fall trip (wahoo!!!) to go Trick or Treating with us. We decided to go on post because apparently the T or T there is rockin. And it totally was. We met up with some super fun friends and did a loop around their housing development all together. The girls were awesome, remembering their thank yous and not being too alarmed by the costumes and decorations. But after a block my tummy said all done so I sat on the porch to hand out candy and chat with my friend. Tom took and the gang left to go around another block and after a while he came back holding Mary and I thought, aw, my baby is tired. Actually what she was was completely passed out. This is at 6:30. So we plopped her down on the big bean bag, let Emma dump her candy with the other kids for sorting fun, and chatted until Emma was falling over and asking to go home. Success? Absolutely! Especially because Emma left like half her candy at our friends'. :) And she didn't even notice!!!

Okay, can someone explain this face to me?

I can hardly believe how grown up your girls are! When I see your family it reminds me of how much you gave to our ward and our lives. It is always good to catch up on your family, Miss you!
