Halloween Fun

Halloween was a whole week long event! Monday we carved pumpkins, Thursday was Lillian's pre-school party, Friday I helped at Cynthia's party and watched the school parade- then that night we went to a party at the YMCA, Saturday was our ward party and Sunday was actually Halloween night. I couldn't believe how many trick-or-treaters we got! I guess it is different when you live on a busier street and not a cul de sac in an small out of the way neighborhood.

Carving Pumpkins:









Fun times! For all the weekend events, Tyler dressed as Winnie the Pooh (in a bee costume), Lillian Cinderella, Cynthia a nurse, and Marcus as Iron Man. Jon and I did an easy costume the night we went to the YMCA- we both dressed up as doctors! I realized that scrubs ARE really comfy. As always Jon looks HOT in his scrubs and white coat- - though it wasn't much of a COSTUME for him since he is already a doctor . . . At the ward Halloween party we dressed up as a prince and princess.












I had fun volunteering in Cynthia's classroom on Friday! Cynthia's class and some of her friends:




At the YMCA - fun going to the haunted house (in the locker room) and getting faces painted - - even Tyler (it's a little bee)!








Halloween is always so much fun- except for the candy wrappers I found EVERYWHERE for the next week or two. Tyler always seemed to find a sucker or two lying around- - that kid sure has a sense for finding candy! The smell of Halloween candy always brings me back to being a kid and the fun it all was. I do have to say I was a bit homesick though on occasion throughout it all- usually my parents would come visit, or we would visit them- but they at least got to go visit my sister in Utah. I did miss them so much though! Michigan certainly hasn't disappointed us. . .
