Spooky Halloween Fun


The boys went to two Halloween parties before the big day. Jefferson was a hit as a teddy bear. He wanted to wear his costume at all times and would crawl around and growl at us. He doesn't know how to say very many words, but one of his most clear ones is now candy ("canny"). Truman was a ninja and had his swords confiscated more than once and Lincoln was black Spiderman to the first party and to school, but when Halloween came he had found a dinosaur costume Mike and Jess gave us and decided to switch it up. He and Truman still dress as Spiderman at home some days. McKinley wore a pumpkin hat and ghost shirt. What can I say, the fourth child gets no costume at this age:) I guess it is what Lincoln wore for his first Halloween too.

The highlight of my Halloween was seeing Jefferson chase a donut on a string like a mad man. He was running in circles as fast as he could with his mouth open for five minutes! It was hilarious! I also enjoyed hearing the boys say "trunk or treat" to all the people handing out candy when we went to Gramere's ward trunk or treat. We also enjoyed visiting the pumpkin house with the Elggrens where we saw a hundred exquisitely carved jack-o-lanterns.

Hope you had a spooky and fun Halloween!
