Halloween 2008

What a day! I'm so glad for my family..... they're so patient and understanding. I am not a huge Halloween lover - since the whole idea with candy in cold and flu season doesn't make sense - but I do enjoy seeing my children dress up and get 'into it'. This year was no different. They already had costumes for trunk or treat, but they all changed things up for Halloween night.... Jacob was a Clone from Star Wars, Nephi was a clown, Ammon was a clown too, and Joseph was Sully from Monsters Inc. We got so excited in the whole night that I forgot to take pics! Benjamin and Sariah went to the temple and had a great time....we had planned a couple of weeks ago to have some friends over for a neighborhood gathering - spread by word of mouth. Hopefully we'll have more next year since we wanted any and all to feel welcome.
We had chili and chicken noodle soup and set up a projector outside and watched 'The Adamms Family'. It was a great crowd pleaser - many stopped and watched. We also watched 'Journey to the Center of the Earth' and then went through the local pirate ship - wow!!!! All in all we had a great time, especially since we got to meet lots of our neighbors. The candy spree went well for the kids too, although they are done 'partaking' for the week.
