Back to Blogging-October

Okay, so there are a lot of pictures and I thought it would be easier to do it in a couple of posts.


October was its usually fun self and here are a few pictures to prove it!


Danya went to a girl scout field trip called Camp Creepy! It was at a girl scout camp and was a collection of haunted houses put on by the older scouts. After the first one about half of our girls didn't want to go in anymore, but they were good sports and Danya went in all the haunted houses but one. Here is Danya doing the Eurobungee, she said she didn't enjoy it. I guess she just didn't like the sensation of jumping so high.

I went on Caleb's field trip with him to the play "Room on the Broom" the kids laughed so hard. It was a lot of fun. This is Caleb with his friend Jeremy. Caleb's hair is blowing in the wind, I promise I did not let him go to school with bedhead!


We had a fun girl scout rededication/Halloween party. They wore their costums, Danya is the Skeleton Bride. All of the kids, even Caleb and Carson got to play the Donut on a String game. Carson even got the idea and didn't use his hands.
Emily couldn't go because of Volleyball practice, but she did get one of the caramel apples the kids made, so she didn't complain!
We had a fun trunk or treat the Saturday before Halloween. It was strictly trunk or treat, and with two wards together there was a lot of candy floating around our house for the next week.

Danya was the Skeleton Bride, Emily was a Candy Corn Witch (with the addition of shorts since the skirt didn't even cover her underwear!), Caleb was a phantom with glowing red eyes (his first scary costume, of course he lost the mask before Halloween, but we avoided a melt down since he had worn it for trunk or treat and there was a party in the front yard before trick or treating), Carson was Batman.

Halloween we had a last minute gathering when I invited neighbors to stop by and get pizza before we all went trick or treating. I also invited Carson's buddy from church Kyle and his parents. Danya invited a couple of girls who are in class and ride the bus with her as well. So we ended up having a little block party which was fun. These are the girls from our neighborhood, about a few more girls joined us by the end of the night.
We never could get everyone together for a picture, this is the best one I got! By the end of the night there were about 5 or six more kids joined us.
I had to put this picure in, because while she is just posing in this picture, I get this look from Emily about a 100 times a day.
Carson spent in overwhelming majority of his time that night looking through Mister Kenny's candy.

We all trick or treated with each other and came back and one of the neighbors brought out their music and the dancing started (not by me, mind you, I am not quite that comfortable with my neighbors!)Carson turns out to be quite the dancer. Here he is his doing the "Cuban Shuffle" or something(?). Here is Danya doing one of the dances too, she had taken off her costume by this point in the night. My pictures really didn't turn out that well at night!
