Halloween is Here!

Surprise! Susannah cut her first tooth through (on the bottom left) today. She was a very cute Dalmation puppy for Trunk or Treating.

Jonathan was a fuzzy green caterpillar. He was very particular about his treats and would go up to a bowl of offered candy and sort through it to find different treats than he already had in his pumpkin candy bucket.

Rebekah was a very cute black cat!

Hannah has been deciding what to be for days...Her costume decisions changed minute by minute, hour by hour. She ended up being a "She Vampire" for the school Halloween Parade and two hours later being a beautiful ballerina for Trunk or Treating.

Joe and I wore our Mr. and Mrs. Incredible shirts. Who says they are costumes!?

In our neighborhood, children go to the nearby L.D.S. church for "Trunk or Treating." Ward members pull in their cars and open decorated trunks and children go from car trunk to trunk and get lots of candy quickly!

Susannah sucked through a bubble gum Dum- Dum sucker wrapper and realized all she had been missing! She grouched at me when I took off the remaining wrapper and squeeked until she got it back to suck on. She was very happy with herself and her sucker!

A friend, Mary Rencher was a detailed oven with a loaf of bread inside. I paused and told her how cute the costume was and she said, “it’s true you know! I really do have a ‘bun in the oven.’” He husband was the cook!

We also visited Grandma and Grandpa Clayton's Hobble Creek Canyon Ward Trunk or Treat where the children got bags of crayons, pictures to color, and some candy from Grandpa and hugs from Grandma.

At Aunt Anne's house on the way home, the children recieved full size candy bars, Rice Krispy bats and rats, and hot cider.

At home, the children got to select candy to go in a sandwich bag and offered the rest to the Great Pumpkin (over twelve pounds worth!).

He brought toys to all the children the next morning in place of their candy offering.
