Halloween Fun

This is their older sister, Katie. She was a White Princess.

Amber was a Fairy Princess and was begging for candy.

Christopher was a beaten up pirate!

ReAnna was Goth and Olivia was a Flapper.

Now that Halloween is over, we can get back to our normally very busy, always running somewhere life. Halloween was fun and interesting!
Amber and Christopher were, like every other Clovis School's elementary students, off on Halloween! Rebecca and ReAnna were not happy about that. As junior high and high school students, they went to school. No more parent teacher conferences!! Yeah!! I hate those!!
Richard was at Rebecca's school at lunch since Wednesday selling Boo Grams with the Color Guard girls!! They sold about $100 total! He would have sold more, but he ran out of Boo Grams! Hopefully the Gobbler Grams will be as successful!
Christopher and Amber's sister Katie, 8, was going trick or treating with us! They were very excited. The last family that they lived with, told them trick or treating was evil. I wonder all the time how those people can be like that! Plus they were taught that they are aliens on this planet. Weird!!
Our ward was doing dinner and trunk or treat on Halloween at 6 pm. We had chili dogs and frito boats! Oh and of course cupcakes and cookies!! We sat down and ate together and then waited until it was time to do Trunk or Treating!! The kids had a blast! The kids from my class that were there, came by to show off their costumes. It was great. A couple of them pretended like their "twins" were getting all the candy. I played along and they love that! Christopher, Amber and Katie filled their buckets up! They were loaded with candy!!
Rebecca was at school for the game and their field show. So trick or treating was not happening for her. ReAnna went with a friend to a Halloween party and to her friend's church for a Halloween carnival. She had fun with her friend. She went as a gothic person.
Before taking Katie home, we went to the nieghborhood that does the Christmas decorations on every house in the neighborhood. Right there on Peach and Alluvial. One house made their front yard scary and one turned their's into a haunted house of sorts. I went through the haunted house first with Katie and then with Christopher. Amber was not having anything to do with the Haunted House! Katie did ok, but cried throught most of it. Christopher left his candy bag with Dad, just in case he needs to run away from the monsters. I told him to throw candy at the monster. SO when a bloodied monster doctor with a huge fake machete came after us he threw the candy he just got at him. The guy was stunned trying to figure out what hit him. Christopher was so proud of the throw. Richard told him throwing candy at monsters is ok, but never throw chocolate!
We took Katie back to our house and the kids changed. We headed to her house and dropped her off. Then we headed to Me N Eds for the after game party for the band. We sell two slices of pizza and a soda for $5.00. We do not make much money but the kids have fun! We got home around 11:30 and everyone went to bed. I have some great pictures I will put up soon. They are on my Facebook, if you go there and look!
