Halloween Fun

Tuesday was a kind of scarey day. We had some bad weather. The tornado sirens were going off and on most of the day. The kids were sent home early and spent awhile in our little "storm shelter" (think sleeping bags on the floor of the pantry) until I got home to tell them it was O.K. to get out. I'm so lucky to have such great, responsible kids! All of our activities for the day were canceled (insert squeal of delight here) so we had an evening of family fun!

Did you know that Halloween is on Sunday this year? Well, it is. That means no trick-or-treating for us. You would think that this is the scariest thing you could say to my children!

Fortunately, they will have several opportunities to get plenty of junk. We've had the ward trunk-or-treat, that is about the amount of candy I'm comfortable letting my kids have, but they want more! Publix is giving away candy on Saturday, wait let me check, yep 4-7 for kids 12 and under (sorry Kylie) Lastly, some one is planning a ward trick-or-treat route for Saturday. So don't feel sorry for us. We will have more than our fair share of candy.

Anyway, here are this year's pumpkins. I restrained myself and let the girls do everything by them own selves. (does that sound southern?) Well, almost by themselves. Here's a shot of our lovely assistant who helped where help was needed.


Note: Kylie got 8 inches cut off her hair this last weekend! This makes her third donation to locks for love.
