Halloween

Well, I should be sweeping and mopping my kitchen whilst my children are sleeping...but I just had to finally put some Halloween pictures up! We had so much fun. Our ward had a Halloween party/trunk-or-treat. The primary was in charge of a cake walk. So, I spent many hours in my kitchen producing all sorts of treats to contribute. I was totally exhausted by the time the party rolled around. But it was fun, and totally worth it. The kids had a blast. Buzz Lightyear even made an appearance. In case you are wondering...Yes, Holly is Elphaba from Wicked--better known as the Wicked Witch of the West. And yes, we had to listen to the soundtrack in the car on the way to and from the party with all of us singing at the top of our lungs.I think the only reason Grace wanted to be a ballerina was so she could wear makeup--what a GIRL!!! And Baby Kate would NOT hold still for a picture. I chased her around with the camera for a long time trying to get a shot, but they all turned out blurry because she was constantly moving! But, in case you can't tell from the picture, she is sporting white onesy that says "Daddy's Little Pumpkin", and she is also wearing a black bat beanie that has wings. She looked really cute at the beginning of the night, but then she kept trying to pull the hat off and got her shirt all messy. Babies! I made these cute "mummy-dogs" our of rhode's rolls for dinner. The kids thought they were pretty cool. Trevor carved the pumpkins with the girls while I was searching the entire Houston area trying to find black shoestring licorice so I could make "spider" cookies. But, alas, I could not find any without having to drive downtown, which I wasn't willing to do. Although, after all the time I spent driving around locally I probably could have gone down there and back and saved some time! Arg! I need Macey's!! Oh well, next year, I will plan ahead of time.

I hope all of you had a fun and safe Halloween!!
