Happy Halloween!

Whew! What a fun-filled week!

... It began when I found this spunky spider strutting around in my living room...

...Jace wasn't seen as much this year, possibly because he was hiding behind an alien mask and it could have to do with the fact that he was off with his friends at most of the events. The carnival at the school was different this year. He hung out with his buddies instead of mom (sniff*sniff)

...Kyle was a bit scared of his caterpillar costume at first. But it only took once for him to learn that it's fun to wear the costume; candy goes in the bucket each time he wears it!

This was another attempt at a Halloween picture. I think Lance is putting his contact lens in.

The Halloween events included: a carnival at Jace's school on Friday, Trick or Treating at Officers Hollow on Sat (below, I love this picture!) Jace also went but, again, he was with his friends.

Dinner and games and GREAT prizes, here at Shoreline. Jace and Kyle won $20 at Build a Bear for their costumes!

The U of U did a party where Lance got to paint a pumpkin. I don't think he enjoyed it at all.

After which we headed over to Sherrie's to carve pumpkins. Lance is de-gutting his pumpkin of seeds, a project he took quite seriously. He ended up taking off his shirt "so my sleeves won't get dirty"

Dalton and Jace and their works of art.

Last night, we went to a trunk or treat party put on by the ward. Jace and Dalton decided to be soccer players this time conveniently enough for their soccer game to follow. I think they had more fun handing out candy then getting it! Isn't that how it should be?

Tonight, we had a few neighborhood friends over for a movie night. Kyle is making a better door than window and loving the extra attention.

I feel like this Halloween was well spent. Tonight, after the party, Lance asked me, "Why is my costume in the hamper?" I explained that it's time to wash it; Halloween's over and we won't be wearing it any more this year. "Oh." was his reply.
