Happy Halloween!! ( I know it was last week)

Well, the weekend of our ward's trunk or treat we were supposed to be in Arizona for my high school reunion. But as fate would have it, the flights were full all weekend and the only flight that we were able to get on was cancelled. So we had no way to get to Arizona in time for my reunion. I was really upset and the kids were crying. So what do you do when things don't go your way? EAT!!! I took the kids out of school early on Friday and we went to see a movie and ate lots of popcorn and movie candy. Then we went to Cici's Pizza and just had a ball. Then to top it off the next night after the trunk or treat -- candy!! I know that's a bad example to set, but we had a blast. There's nothing like some family bonding time. It was worth it.







Okay, about the costumes. Taylor wanted to be a pilgrim again. This outfit was made by Grandma Tanner. Julia was supposed to be a chihuahua, but things didn't work out, so she begrudgingly was a tiger again. Josh's costume was in Arizona waiting for him, but since we didn't go, he just stayed in his soccer uniform and was a soccer player. I wanted to color their hair and put on make-up, but none of them wanted to do that. Poor sports!!

They had fun anyways and spent time with their friends.

On Halloween, we went trick or treating with our friends in their neighborhood. After eating .39 cent corn dogs at Sonic, we hung out in their back yard until they were finished getting ready to go out. So I took the opportunity to take some pictures.

I love this picture. She's high up on the swing set and she loves to model. What a pretty girl!

Josh's costume came just in time thanks to my mom who sent it via UPS. Thanks, mom. Just in case you don't know, he is a wizard. You just can't see his wand. He wanted a wizards hat, and a day before Halloween, most stores are out of most things, but we found a purple hat and tried to put black cloth around it. It was hard and close up it looks really tacky.

What a cute tiger!! I told her she had to wear the halloween socks because it was so cute!!

We love Halloween!!

While we were trick or treating, we found this toad stuck in the water meter cover. He couldn't get out and he was bloated. But you know Curtis and he figured it out and got that toad out. But wouldn't you know as soon as he let him loose, he went right back to the same hole. Go figure!
