Halloween!

Halloween was gonna be pretty laid back for us this year. We wanted to go Trunk-or-Treat in our new ward and then just get back home to take a look at the goodies. But a bunch of super fun last minute plans came up. And we ended up having one of our best Halloweens yet!

This is Josan at school with his teachers Miss Terri and his friends

We started the candy hunt mid-afternoon by going to Adam's work. They had the whole office decorated and most of the employees were dressed up too. Within an hour, we had 2 brown lunch bags worth of sugar!

If you have a hard time knowing what I was dressed up as, there you go!

 

 We had a blast at work with the Clarks!

(Laura got just a little bit too excited!:))

We got to meet Napoleon Dynamite! :)

Josan and Jack

 

The 2 "brothers" and 2 bags full of candies!!

After XIO we hurried up to church so we wouldnt miss the tri ward Trunk-or-treat that they had there. This time, we filled up Josan's entire pumkin. Again, within an hour!

Gotto be picky to get the best ones!

 

 

THEN we went back home! We had some of our new friends in the ward come with us Trick-or-treat for a minute around our house just for the tradition part of things. But we already had sooooo many candies that we just wanted to go home and eat...real food! :) So we all ended up at our house. All the 10 adults and 11 kids of us! It was AWESOME! You would think, if you know me a little, that that many -NEW- people at my house would freak me out right? Nope! We had a blast! All the kids were so so good, and we all had a super fun night! (Well hopefully there was no humoring there;))

 

We turned on Madagascar 3 just to have some background sound.

I guess the kids thought it was a pretty good idea:)

Cambria and Laura brought the pizzas, we made some stew, Lisa brought some amazing homemade bread, guacamole and salsa and Jessica made us yummy cookies! (still dreaming about it!)

We are really excited about this. I ve been working in primary (loved it btw!) pretty much since we got married. So it's been hard to make friends with anybody but the primary kids! So this was awesome beyond words! :)
Meet our new friends (from left to right): Cambria, Brock, Jessica, Travis, Laura and Steve, Mario and Lisa.

A little bit more posing ( maybe except Mario, he did better in the first one! haha)

 

We laughed our heads out playing Catch Phrase.  I had a BLAST!!!

Even our dogs celebrated a little. Yes, we did notice how the ribs make Peewee look even skinnier and the pumpkin makes Foxsea look.....sausagier;)
