Trunk or Treat




Our Ward had Trunk or Treat for Halloween. Usually everyone just sits by their trunk and hands out candy. We decided that if we were going to do it, we would do it up good. We made a curtain out of old black material, the kids had cute it to make it look ripped, hung it at the back of my Yukon and turned on scarry sounds. Mont then was behind the curtain with dracula type hands and the kids would have to ask "The Hand" for candy. Mike was dracula, I was a witch (It didn't take much for me to get ready) and we had dry ice bubbling were the kids would get their candy. It was so much fun. The best part was the ones that were to scared to get the candy. All the kids love Mont and he would say to them, "Come here buddy. It's just me Mont". At that point, they would keep coming back. My friend Malesa and her family were right by us and she was the "Mad Scientist". She made them feel yucky stuff, like the inside of a pumpkin, spaghetti noodles, etc, before they could get their candy. We think that it would be great if everyone would do the trunk or treat with a little more fun themes. I usually do not let my kids trick or treat, but this year they definetly got plenty. Oaklee was a fairy, Morgan and Chloe were Salt and Pepper, and the rest of us were something different at each party. This was with no doubt the most fun Halloween we have ever had.

Halloween Family Night Party



Our Halloween Family Night Party went so great. Our guests each brought a Halloween Creepy dish and dinner was great with Cattails, Fingers dipped in Ear Wax, Spiderweb dip, Brains & Dem Bones Breadsticks, Eyeballs, Witches Brew & Kitty Litter Dessert. Costumes were recommended!! Most were good sports but a few were "Party Poopers". We had scary stories, sounds, and of course Pumpkin Carving. I really do not like Halloween and carving pumpkins is way to messy for me! Not so fun but I tried my hardest to be a good sport. I think everyone had fun and I have the pictures of the year. Mark this one on the calendar, even Mike dressed up. His mother has a neighbor who suffers from "Shell Shock". We are always amazed at his dress. Sometimes he has his front stuffed, a wig on, and even a dress on occasion. Mike is now known as "Duane".

October Begins


October started with our 14th anniversary. Then of course Mike and the boys went Elk Hunting for a week. They were unsuccessful, darn! The girls went to Gardener Village for the witch fest. What a way to get in the mood for Halloween. I think Oaklee ate it up. She has always loved to have her picture taken and kissing the witch was the best.
