Halloween

We had such a great Halloween! I've always loved Halloween. I love the costumes, the excitement, the haunted houses, the only thing that I have a problem with is all the CANDY!!!

Our Halloween started last Saturday with the church trunk-or-treat! The RS did a
cupcake walk (one of my favs.) so I got to help with that. The kids were hilarious helping me frost the cupcakes and make the sign! They are big fans of Halloween too! Jaron and I decided to be Napolean Dynamite and his "girl" Deb! I actually found a "Vote for Pedro" shirt at Goodwill!
Unfortunately I forgot our camera!
It was quite the night! The kids got WAY TOO MUCH CANDY!

THis past Friday Jer, the kids and I went to Seaworld! Let just say that as we drove home the kids said, "We love Halloween! It's the Greatest! There were "monsters" all through-out the park (Chase scream at each monster and ran in the opposite direction). There was a great 4D show about creepy creatures and we topped it off with Trick-or-treat lane in the Shark house!!!! (Morecandy!!!)

LAst night we had the missionaries over and our neighbors! We had a freightful meal of Mummies, witches fingers, eyeballs, tater-tot people, Boo-nilla Shakes and Ghoulash Punch!!! (I love theme cooking!)

Trick-or-treating is completely different here in texas! I think it might be their favorite holiday! There were people dressed in costumes walking up-and-down the streets with saws and swords and a huge sheet on the wall on this home with scary scenes and music! ( a little over the top for our crowd)!
The best part was putting my kids too sleep that night and my little boy saying to me, "Mommy, I had fun!" Then closed his little eyes and was OUT!
I must admit I am so not the mom that sneaks her favorite candy too eat, (I leave that to Jer), but I did contemplate putting a large portion of it out on the porch for the late-night trick-or-treaters! I resisted, but I will find a way to "reduce" it. There is no way my little guys are eating all that candy!
