Trick or Treat

So I feel I need to explain why Austin is wearing the same costume that he wore last Halloween. Last year he screamed every time we put the costume on him, so he ended up wearing it for about 2 minutes, just long enough for us to take some pictures. Well, I tried the costume on him again this year and it still fit pretty well, so I decided not to spend money on another costume.

For Halloween this year we took Austin trick or treating at the ward trunk or treat. Everyone in the ward/neighborhood lined up their cars down the street and the kids walked up and down the sidewalk loading up on sweets. They do it fairly early so it is still light out. When everyone ran out of candy we traveled over to the church for the ward Halloween party. At the ward party we ate chili and sipped hot cider while trying to manage our hyperactive child. All the kids ran around and played games; including a fishing pond, cake walk, and cookie decorating.

A family in our ward has peonies. Brother Latimer strolled around in his peony drawn wagon and handed out candy.

This is a picture of Austin and me with Katie and Mason. Mason is Austin's friend that lives with us at Alpine Storage. Those two boys have so much fun together. We are so happy to have the Davis's at Alpine Storage with us!

I am all about recycling anything, especially costumes, since they cost a fortune in the first place! That's what we did this year. And HAPPY B-DAY YESTERDAY!!!! Your card is in the mail . . . I am so behind! Maybe you can celebrate twice now! :)
