Happy Halloween

We had a great Halloween this year, and the kids are swimming in candy. I convinced the girls they wanted to wear poodle skirts this year, since I already had the pattern, and it didn't look too hard.

We started out the day sending Lily off to school in her costume on the bus, then the girl's and I followed her so we could watch the school costume parade.

There were lots of fun costumes, several scarecrows and SEVERAL transformers. Really, they were all so cute.

After the parade Eve, Abigail and I went to Gordon's office to meet him for trick-or-treating around the office. It is a tradition in this office to go all out for Halloween. Most of the adults had dressed up and every one had a bowl of candy for handing out to the kids. Eve was so cute, and said "thankyou" in her best voice. She thoroughly enjoyed all of the attention. Abigail slept through most of the event.

Halloween was an early out day for Lily so right after lunch I picked her up from the bus stop, then we went back to Gordon's office so Lily could trick-or-treat. Eve happily went around too. They both had fun doing the cake walk and ghost tic-tac-toe too.

After playing with Dad at the office we had a quick nap time then got ready for our ward party. Dinner and trunk-or-treat. It ended up being cold and windy, so the festivities were really short there. But we didn't make it out without another bucket full of candy.

After getting home we tried to take pictures, but Abigail was tired and ready for bed.



It was a very fun and full day for all of us.

You let other girls kiss your husband??

Cute skirts! So did you make one for yourself?

I didn't make a skirt for myself. I wore a full skirt I already owned and called it good.

Where did you get the tiny poodle for Abigail's skirt? How was your vacation? IKEA?

You did a great job on the skirts. I might have to try that next year.
