Happy Halloween!
Here's how our day went...
We carved pumpkins. Rylee's favorite part was putting the pieces back in the pumpkins, like a puzzle!
I carved one, Quinn carved the other. Can you guess who did which one? I teased Quinn about even bothering to draw an outline ahead of time. He laughed back that it was a good metaphor for his life (:
Rylee was Tinkerbell. She actually let me do her hair!
(Although she cried while I did the back part...this was the only way I could get her short hair up into a ponytail, and I wound up tugging on her little noggin pretty good!)
Cailyn wore the skunk costume from Rylee's first Halloween.
Oh, and as you can tell, the weather wound up being GREAT! It snowed most of the week, but wound up being warm enough for Tinkerbell to be OK without a coat today (:
We went to our ward Trunk or Treat in a barn first. Our bishop was Edward from Twilight, complete with glittery skin! I had to laugh about that one.
Rylee was SO excited about all of her candy!
Then we went over to Hillary and Matt's for a Halloween party.
Ari as Max was definitely one of my favorite costumes of the night.
The kids did a little bit of Trick or Treating in the neighborhood...
...but it was short lived since it was starting to get cold (Rylee kept trying to go IN the houses.)
Tinkerbell walked right out of one of her shoes...
...but Cinderella managed to keep her glass slippers on. Go figure.
I give Shawn, Whitney and Pearl the prize for the cutest family costumes.
And I give Josh the prize for the scariest costume...
Luckily, Katie decided to be a bluebird to go with Cinderella instead of trying to match the White Trash!
The adults had a donut eating contest...
...and then the kids had their turn
(we tried to explain the concept of not using hands, but it didn't go over very well.)
Rylee loved these monster cupcakes that Katie made!
Pearl and Cailyn were very interested in each other.
Cailyn: "Hey, has anyone seen my lollipop?"
The little skunk scooted all over the floor throughout the party.
