Halloween Activities

This year our theme was pirates - not super creative, but it was fun. I went to a zillion thrift stores grabbing little pieces of costumes, boots, scarves, and other needed items. My best find was boots for myself that are in great shape for $7.99! Some of the pieces needed a little altering and some clever reworkings, but the final result was pretty good, I think. Several people at Daron's office told him they looked like they were professionally done. Yes!! My thrift-store-costuming skills have progressed to a new level!

Here are the kids doing the annual Trick-Or-Treat at Daddy's office on Friday.





Here we are for our ward Trunk-Or-Treat activity on Saturday. Hurrah for the Pirate King! We had Pirates of Penzance playing in the car, but none of the kids understood what it was all about. That's alright. We knew and sang along.

We finished off our Halloween weekend with our annual Dinner in a Pumpkin on Sunday evening with some friends. The pictures I took didn't turn out super, but the food did! We had our dinner baked in a pumpkin (meat, mushrooms, tomatoes, potatoes, corn, tomato sauce, and spices), butternut squash soup, salad, and buttermilk biscuits. And brownies for dessert - thanks Maren!
