We had a great Halloween at our house! Whitney, Katelyn and Lauren were all witches. Todd and I had to laugh because we went from having 3 princesses a couple of years ago to having 3 witches this year. Lauren probably would have been a princess again, but she likes to do what her older sisters do. Dustin was a pirate. He had a cute hat that went with his costume, but we couldn't get him to keep it on for longer than 2 seconds. Todd stayed home and handed out candy this year and I took the kids out. Dustin tried to walk right into every house. He wasn't shy at all. If the house had a dog I had to drag him away because he wanted to play. Lauren on the other hand screamed and ran away as soon as she saw a dog.
Todd was the master pumpkin carver this year. One of our neighbors has a farm and grew this huge pumpkin and gave it to us. It is hard to tell from the picture, but the big pumpkin is about 2 feet tall and wide. His masterpiece was a big hit with the trick-or-treaters.
At our ward party on Tuesday they had a pie eating contest. Whitney made us proud. She dove right into the pie. None of this, "oh, my hair will get messed up" it was more like "bring it on!" She didn't win, but she was close. Unfortunately, she said that everything smelled like chocolate pudding for the rest of the night because she got so much up her nose.
