Happy Halloween

Halloween is always so much fun.  Our ward decided to do a Trunk-or-Treat this year.  We made a "Wheel of Candy" and had all the kids spin it to see how many pieces they would get.  The girls loved it.  They were able to go trunk to trunk with all their friends and get a ton of candy in a short time.  After we left we took them trick or treating to a few different houses around the neighborhood and ended with grandma's house.  They got extra good candy there.  Then we went home and watched some Halloween shows.  It was a busy, but fun evening.

 

Corn Maze

Tonight was a little cold and windy but it was the last night we would be able to make it to the corn maze so the girls bundled up and headed out.  They had a blast and really did get slightly lost a couple of times but managed to hit all the checkpoints and still find the exit.  They also enjoyed the mini maze and the slides.  They got a little chilled but loved every minute of it!

 

Wendy's Dance Halloween Party

Wendy cried and cried about starting dance again this season.  She said she would much rather stay home and play Minecraft, which is exactly why I really wanted her to go to dance.  After all the whining she came out of her first class with the biggest smile on her face.  She said she loved it and couldn't wait to go back again.  I was so happy for her.  Tonight they had a fun little Halloween party during class time and she was able to dance like a bee and "sting people".  She makes me laugh!

Team Spirit

Emily's dance team just received an award for Best Team Spirit from the Best of Blackfoot Facebook page.  It is really pretty amazing and I have seen so many examples firsthand proving this to be true.  So grateful that both of my girls have the opportunity to be a part of such an amazing program that teaches them so many things far beyond dance.

Spooky Reading Night

Last night Wendy's school held a Spooky Reading Night for all the students and families.  I had volunteered to help out so LeeRoy got to take her.  There were different games and stations they were able to go through and there was even a spook alley.  LeeRoy said it was a little much for Wendy and she got pretty scared but they had a great time!

 

Dracula's Diner

I found this fun idea for a Halloween dinner on Pinterest and was really excited to try it for some friends we had over for a dinner and game night.  It was Dracula's Diner.  You had to order items off the menu without really knowing what you were getting.  You could end up with just a fork and napkin or as LeeRoy learned, spaghetti with no fork.  We had a lot of fun.  I also wanted to do it with family so we invited the Palmer's to join us for a repeat dinner.  The girls loved decorating and helping to prepare the spooky food.  Wendy even made a sign for the front door.  I was really proud since she sounded all the words out herself.  We had a great time and loved laughing at each other.
 

EISF

We had yet another great year at the fair.  LeeRoy took Wendy on his day off and even though it rained they spent hours walking around looking at everything, riding rides, and petting all the animals.  LeeRoy told me she spent 20 minutes just petting and talking to a baby goat.  She is so adorable!  Emily went later in the week with her friend and they had fun riding rides until the late hours of the night.  On the last night of fair week we took Grandma and Lorenzo and went as a family to the demolition derby.  We had front row seats and the best moment of the night was when a batman car crashed into the barricade directly in front of us.  Wendy loved that!
