We had a great Halloween! Since Halloween was on Sunday, our ward had a super fun Chili Cook-Off/Trunk-or-Treat on Saturday. The youth helped run the games inside, like a cake walk, bean bag toss, bowling, golf... which is where my big boys were most of the evening. The weather was perfect and we had such a wonderful time.
Ashley Grace: The Butterfly
Luke: Buzz Lightyear
(this costume used to be Zac's)
To Infinity....
And Beyond!!!
The Round-Up Gang
Zac did an awesome job carving his pumpkin all by himself!
Luke was a darling pirate and trick-or-treated in style in his very own pirate ship. He said "Arrrg mateys" and "Walk the plank" and practiced his "mean" pirate face. He was very excited about all his treats! Ashley was a beautiful, sparkly Tinkerbell. Her wings lit up and her combination of spunk and sweetness made her a perfect "Tink". We were so happy she was well and could go. (She had the flu, and then a relapse, and then got an infection and was very sick for two weeks.)
Zac was an afro-hippie-dude :) Zac is hilarious and really enjoyed his get up. He also enjoyed a little bit of freedom and spent part of the evening trick-or-treating with his friends and met back up with us at the Engle's home for yummy scones.
Josh: We had Stake Conference this weekend and the visiting General Authority held a fireside for the youth on Halloween. I thought Josh might complain, but he didn't. He attended the fireside and even stayed after to shake Elder Arnold's hand. When he got back he put on a crazy wild outfit --I didn't get a picture :( -- and did a little trick-or-treating with some friends. Later that night several boys came over for pizza and a movie.
