We started the week at the Halloween Party at Grandma Riddle's place. They had a few games, trick or treating and treats.
Then on Friday we had out Halloween Party/lasagna cook off/ trunk or treat/carnival at church. It was such the busy place to be! Rebecca fell asleep on the way and slept the entire time until I took her out of her car seat. It was noisy, hot and she was right next to the line for food and her car seat got hit a few times, and she slept right trough it. The kids played the carnival games and walked away with some very fun bird whistles that made a lovely high pitch whistle! The scare of the night came when Ammon disappeared. We searched the building and almost had them announce that he was missing when he was found doing his own cake walk with some other boys in the nursery. It was NOT a funny or cute moment for me-just one of panic.

After the carnival/dinner we went out for trunk or treating. Simeon walked with a friend and his younger brother so they were slower and only made it around once. Simeon said they kept losing the younger brother and would have to find him. Corrine went around 2 times with some friends, and Ammon and Rebecca went with mom around once, then Ammon wanted to hand out the treats. He was very particular that he put it in the bucket and you only got 1 - NO coming back!!
Max Hall (BYU QB), A Lemme Leopard, a little Moo-Cow and a Clone Trooper stomped around his halloween.
Halloween day was a blur. In the morning I went to the adult session of Stake Conference. When I got home, Johann left for the leadership session and Simeon went to a bday party. We he got home I left with Corrine for her haircut, and Simeon came home. When we got back we drew our pumpkin faces (we ran out of time to carve them), made mini pizzas, ran to Gr & Gr Smith's and then it was time to trick or treat. We don't get many if any kids at our house, so we left a bucket or candy and went out.
Every year we've heard about a house that goes all out with a pirate boat in their yard. This year we weren't going to miss it. We headed down towards it and spent the next 2 hours trick or treating. The kids wanted to come home and we did-the longer way. Their baskets were nearly overflowing when we got home.
Ammon was funny towards the end. People would say take a few pieces so he'd go Hi-yay and grab with 2 hands. Who could say no to a clone trooper going hi-yay!! He added extra candy doing that.
After the sorting and counting they crashed for the night.

WHat a fun and busy Halloween week. Your kids look adorable in their costumes. Looks like they've got quite the candy stash. That should last them until Christmas:)
