"You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep a record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. Some may be significant only to you. Some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experiences." ~Gordon B. Hinckley

Hope everyone had a very happy halloween.

Halloween is a bit overwhelming by the time you make it through the ward trunk or treat, the neighborhood block party, the 2 family parties, and the actual night itself. These pictures all happened long before we actually made it the 31st...
This year by the time we made it to Friday, I think the kids had had ENOUGH---candy that is! We met with our cousins to eat pizza before setting out with full bellies---as to avoid trick or treating snacking-- and then we only managed to go two streets before the kids were begging to go back home. Believe me, I am not complaining, I am just surprised thats all. But because the kids weren't all about the candy, they would take an evaluation of the house, and if its decorations seemed Halloweenish enough than it was worth hoofing up to the front door to get the goods. Last year Laetner was sooooo excited by any and all decorations from Halloween onward through Christmas, and I was so sad to think that by this year he would have outgrown it---he has NOT in any way, shape or form! I hope he never outgrows it. This blown up Frankenstein 'lives' around the corner from us and everyday we drove by it Laetner would exclaim,'Frankenstein is dead!" Thank goodness everynight the inflatables 'come back to life' "Put him in a body bag, Johnny!"


Halloween was the one night we finally got out the black hairspray for our little witch Delainee



They are hard to see, but she is trying to show off little press on nails that had black cats on them!


And of course some obligatory group shots....What a group!



HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Fun costumes! I especially like your "trash" costume. :)I'm also extremely jealous that your kids were done after 2 blocks. Wow.
