Halloween took place on two nights for us this year. Our ward had a chilli cook off and trunk or treat on the Friday night before Halloween. I'm always crazy and signed up to bring both chilli and corn bread. Unlike years past, I actually was ready for Halloween this year as last year I bought costumes the day after Halloween for half price. Luckily the kids were amenable to being one of the things I had already bought. There was a moment of panic on Friday when I couldn't find the costumes and thought we might have not had a whole carton of clothes moved during our move this summer. Luckily, Tom was able to alleviate my fear quickly by reminding me we now have some things stored in our attic (never had an attic that we used before). Although our kids came home with oodles of candy Friday night, that didn't stop them from wanting to go out trick or treating Monday night (the true night of Halloween). Our neighbors invited us to join them and the kids enjoyed walking the neighborhood together. We actually lost Wesley at one point during the evening, but luckily found him within a few minutes. I absolutely hate that feeling in the pit of your stomach when you can't find one of your kids. He says he just didn't see where we went, and I thought he was running ahead with the other kids. All is well that ends well, and our kids sure enjoyed all the treats. When we got home from trick or treating in our neighborhood, the bowl I had left out full of candy was empty so I just restocked it with a bunch of the kids candy....that way we got rid of it much more quickly.

We invited some friends over to play on the Friday, so here they are together in costume, Harry Potter (aka. Tre Sclater), Buzz Lightyear (Maddox Sclater), Ninja (Britton Sclater), The Witch (Amberly), and scary Tigress (Reili).

RRRRRaaaaarrrrrrhhhhhh!
She was just the cutest little witch, I couldn't help but put her big smile here.
