Halloween Night

The kids were excited when it was finally time to put their costumes on again. They didn't even complain when I wanted to take pictures.



Draculaura.....cute as ever.





Jessie, finally posing for the camera.





And Woody....well.......he was just so cute, I couldn't stop taking pictures of him.



"Reach for the sky!"











Not sure who likes these boots more........me or John David.



Oh....someone needs Sheriff Woody's help..........



...........over there!



So he went to rescue his Daddy from those crazy neighbors.





After our little photo session, we went over to the Gibson's for dinner. Sarah found her Halloween twin, Carolyn, who was also dressed up as Draculaura. Aren't they cute?





Here's the whole gang before heading out to do a little trick or treating.



John's sisters took off and left him behind.



Thank goodness for Lily, who held John's hand and took him up to every house.









It was a spooky fun night!

Halloween Slime

While we were waiting for the time to pass til time for trick or treating, we made some Halloween slime. Sarah wanted blue smile.



Katie wanted green slime.



And guess what color slime John David wanted? Yep....he wanted pink slime.



So he got pink slime.



John David liked putting his slime in his truck.





The kids love playing with it, and it did a great job of entertaining them for the afternoon.









I have to admit............even the big kids at our house like to play with it!

The crazies come out on Halloween......

.....like this bag lady. Oh.....wait...........



............that's just Maw Maw Mire.



We went to visit her today because we heard she was dressing up for a contest. I love the black crow in her basket. Too cute!



And she even won!



Happy Halloween bag lady! We love you!

Happy Halloween!

From our little monsters!

Saturday is a Busy Day

I spent the morning making this cake for our nephew Jarrett, who will be leaving in a few weeks for a mission in Fresno, CA.



We spent last Saturday at the Houston Temple with him. It was a great day.




I can't believe he is old enough to serve a mission. When we first moved here he was only eight years old. He has grown into such a wonderful young man, and will be an amazing missionary. We were so happy to be able to deliver this cake to him this afternoon for his open house and spend some time with him.

So we visited as long as we could and then had the kids change into their costumes so we could just go straight to the ward trunk or treat. And since John David was wearing a shirt like Daddy's, he insisted on wearing it with his costume instead of the yellow one I had picked out for him.



This boy is all about his Daddy these days, which I think is the sweetest thing.



Still a pretty cute little Woody though.....even with the camo shirt.



Katie was dressed as Jessie, but she was being a stinker about getting her picture taken, so this is the only one I got of her looking at the camera. She and her friend Emily were waiting for their turn to go into the spook house.



And here's our little Monster High Doll, Draculaura.



As soon as we arrived, Draculaura saw her BFF, Frankie Stein. Yeah...don't quite get the Monster High thing, but they are pretty cute.



I ran into a little ninja (aka Spencer, from my primary class), who showed me some of his awesome ninja moves, and I felt so much safer with him there.



When it was time for the trunk or treat to start, Woody and Jessie were stuck together like glue.



John David....I mean.....Woody, actually got into the trunk or treating this year. Last year he was done after about 5 cars. He wanted to sit down and eat the candy he had collected. But this year he walked around with Katie the whole time. It was pretty cute to watch.



But the cutest thing was listening to him say, "Trick-n-Treat!"



So stinkin' cute!
