Halloween

We had a great Halloween! With Trunk-or-treating, class parties, trick-or-treating, & the Sugar Fairy everyone was happy.

Clara was our sweet ballerina. She kept pointing our her ballet shoes to everyone.

Samantha picked her costume according to what she thought was the most fancy...the spanish princess won.

Alex was Speed Racer. I bought the costume a size too big, but that didn't stop him from running from house to house.

We went trick-or-treating around our neighborhood. The kids received way too much candy, so the Sugar showed up the next morning took it all and left a wonderful toy in it's place. Happy ending for both parent and child.

Here are a few of the things we have been up to....

Bike ridding. Clara can't reach the peddles, but still insists on either George or I pushing her around the block. My poor aching back...she is sure getting one that we can push for her birthday.

The kids were so patient to make a temple trip with me (George was forced to work). So as a reward we went to Downtown Disney. They thought this was so much fun...can you imagine how excited they would be at Disney World? Someday. :)

Clara and Sammy found the princesses quickly. Any everyone HAD to bring home a souvenir.

Alex's first field trip. He is the one in the back with his hand raised. He had a blast!

Clara painted for the first time. Now I know why I have waited so long...it was a mess as you can see.

Carving the pumpkin with dad a few days before Halloween. We kept Mr. Jack-o-lantern inside until Halloween. They rot rather quickly out here.
