Trunk or Treat

This year it took Allison a long time to finally settle on a Halloween costume. Her final decision was to be an ice skater and Emma was a unicorn. Alli wanted a treat bag with Skates on it and Emma wanted a jack-o-lantern.

My friend Ruth was in charge of her wards Halloween party so we went up and had some fun at their carnival. Alli and Emma got to play lots of fun games. Allison loved the Doughnut on a string game. Emma gave up and finally used her hands.

The girls got there faces painted, hit the fish and duck ponds, even went through the haunted house.

Ben dressed up as the house from the movie UP. We ran into some other UP fans at the carnival there costumes were awesome. After the carnival we headed down to our wards trunk-or-treat. We decorated our trunk with spider webs and glittery spiders. Allison also drew lots of Halloween pictures to help decorate as well. My favorite was the witch and cat on the broom stick.
In case you can't tell I was a lady bug :)We all had such a fun time trunk-or-treating and partying it up with our friends up north :).

Emma the Dancer

She usually does pay attention but in this shot she was dancing to her own drummer :)
It is so fun to watch Emma at dance she LOVES it! She watched Allison all last year and it is finally her turn and she enjoys every second.



Now a little bit about Allison...

Allison sponsored a book at her school library...she loved being able to sign the sticker inside. She got to be the first student to check it out. I made Allison a Harold and the Purple Crayon shirt for her school gathering (assembly)on Friday. The whole school has been reading Harold and they did a school art project that they showed the video of at the gathering.

Haunted Mansion

Last night the girls and I made a haunted mansion. It was fun yet stressful...next time someone remind me that 2 adults are best for projects like this :) I also made some pillow covers to add some fall spirit to our home. I love the fall and I have a couple other projects planned.
Here are some other views of our spooktacular house. I let the girls direct were things went...which was really hard for me. Next time I want my very own mansion.
