Considering the fact that Sandy pretty much wiped Halloween out for the East Coasters, we still had plenty of fun Halloween partying. The majority of that came from our fun and very well planned ward Halloween party. It was also the first Halloween party in FOUR years that I didn't have to help plan at all. Very nice.
We saved a ton of money on costumes this year. Jayda was happy being a witch with clothes and props that we already have. Skyler was DYING to be Yoshi this year. At first I was really worried, most Yoshi costumes I could find were at least $30. But, we were able to find a green hoodie and Glenn worked his domestic magic. Not too bad I'd say, and Skyler was thrilled!
Myles dressed as Batman and came to the party with us.
Claire and Carla being Vulcans.
Pumpkin bowling!
Had to get a pic of Yoshi and Mario.
Sarah, Claire and I. These are my girls, I'm crazy about them. We're also in the YW presidency together.
Our decorated trunk, don't you love it!
Worn out kids after the party.
A few days later we went to the Saldanas for dinner and cookie decorating.
Brazilian Dinner in a Pumpkin. Claire served her mission in Brazil and is an amazing cook! This was SO delicious.
A few days later we carved pumpkins. The most entertaining part of the night was watching Skyler do his best not to puke every time we pulled seeds out. He can't handle anything with a squishy gross texture. We may have gotten some laughs at his expense.
The day the hurricane hit I had Myles over to decorate cookies again. The storm hadn't gotten bad yet and I was feeling confident that we had already seen the worst of it. Oh how little I knew.
Happy Halloween!
