HALLOWEEN 2008

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

We had made it through another year. The kids were so excited and even had costume changes through out the day. Every year I dress up with them. I usually wear costumes to work and have the parties. I took work off to spend the day at the kids school parties. We had a great busy day.

Devon - Ghoul Bryson - The Joker (friends) Damon - Spider man

Then it was on to the next party. Devon in his 4th grade class. We ate "Lizard tongues" who could eat a fruit roll up the fastest. Devon won this group.
They played Halloween bingo as well.
















At 5:00 I helped set up the Church "Trunk or Treat" sense our calling is Ward Activities Assistance's. (don't you love Utah wards, they find any calling for anything) I dressed up as a Witch, Damon then became the "Green Goblin" and Devon a zombie "Hip Hop Dancer"

Teenagers. Gosh this year was a rough one for us. Mindi told us last minute she wanted to dress up as "Dorthy the Wizard of Oz" then she didn't then the night before we found one but then she didn't want to where it to school, she had been grounded already so we had decided not to buy it. Then last minute her and her neighborhood friend Brittney decided to stuff these old costumes we had and go out together. They look really cute. "Girls" they change their minds last minute so much it drives us crazy.

Mindi had several old costumes and so our friends and neighbors of all ages came over and borrowed them all. Here are a few of them.

Ann & Richie with Nathan came over for our Church party. We served Chilli and then had our Trunk or Treat party. We ended up having rain but it didn't stop anyone from having fun. I would rather have the rain over the snow any day. It was a great night out.

Then after taking the kids out Trick or Treating, after they made three trips back home to dump the candy and go back out. Sayra, Jake, Ben & I went to a club down town Salt Lake City. We had so much fun. We thought that we were young again. For those who know me we used to go to the Dance clubs every where, every week end. When the music starts playing I can't stop moving. I do have to say that we are not young anymore and today we are recovering from an all night event. I am sore, and wearing high hills for three hours dancing definitely looked good but after words does not feel so great. We actually ran into some old friends from when Ben and I were dating at Rick's College Todd & Blake and were Bens friends from when he lived in Virgina Beach, Virgina so that was defiantly weird. A blast from the past. We had a great time.

Until next year. Hope everyone else had a great year as we did. Take care.
