H a L L o W e e N

This year Halloween was on  Sunday.  Chloe was not very happy about it.  Joel kept telling her she couldn't go trick or treating because it was on Sunday. 
She got to wear a halloween costume to a friends halloween party.  She dressed up like a baby.  I didn't get a picture of her.  But she was cute in her pink blanket sleepers.  She had a bib and a binky too.
She wore her Cinderella costume to school.  She makes an adorable Cinderella.  We put her hair in curlers the night before.  Chloe has very STRAIGHT hair...not a kink in it.  When we took the curlers out the next morning, she was shocked.  I knew it would relax, and sure enough it relaxed a lot....but so cute!!

Hailey went to her first young women's activity.  They had a costume party and she went as a construction worker.

I am over the activity days for girls and we had our "daddy daughter date".  We did a fear factor Halloween party.  It was a lot of fun.  Hailey wanted to come and help, even though she is in young women's now. 

Our ward had a "trunk or treat" on Saturday night.  Chloe dressed up like an  Indian and Hailey managed to throw a hobo costume together.   We were so lucky to get to "dog  watch" Harly for the weekend.  They brought his halloween costume over and the girls loved dressing him up in his "jail bird" costume.  He was so ashamed he wouldn't let us take a picture of him.

We had a hand full of trick or treaters on Saturday night.  I sent my girls out to trick or treat a few houses and they said some of the neighbors told them it wasn't Halloween and they should come back on Sunday...whatever.  So we had this for dinner.   Mummies and monsters.

I did not spend one penny on costumes this year.  When the girls started to clog, and their costumes became pretty expensive I told them what ever they were dancing in is what they are trick or treating in.  Funny thing is neither of them wore dance costumes.  It's amazing what you can come up with.

Sunday night we had a lot of trick or treaters.  We let the girls answer the door and pass out candy.  When it was all gone we told Chloe to lock the door and turn out the lights.  When the doorbell rand again she answered it to find 5 trick or treaters and NO CANDY.  We told her to just give the some of her candy.  After a few minutes she came into the living room, when we asked her how it went she said "well, I had a stick of gum and I ripped it into 3 pieces and gave to 3 of them, then I opened my box of juicy fruit candy and gave one of them a piece of that.  The other boy had a lot of candy, more than me, so I gave him my wrappers".  WHAT!!!   We laughed so hard, because she was so innocent about it and thought she did the right thing. 

Caden just hung out with us and played with Harly.  He didn't dress up or go out with friends.  He had been with Nick the night before.  I'm glad he likes to hang out with us. 

   Coelton called Grandpa Judy and asked him if he wanted to go to watch the "State XC" races in  Soda Springs.  Mountain View boys and girls were racing this year.  Grandpa couldn't say no to Coelton, so he picked him up Saturday morning and they drove to Soda.  Dante, one of Coelton's friends also went with them.   Coelton was excited to get to go and was able to see the girls take state and the boys took 4th.  There was only 20 points between the 1st and 4th place teams.  Parker had a horrible race and had he raced as he usually does our boys would have won.    That's XC for ya.
Coelton had a ward halloween party Saturday night at BYU-I that he went to when they got back.

I wish I had pictures of all of Coelton's "goings on".  But he doesn't have a camera, and even if he did I don't think he would take any pictures.  We'll have to work on that.  Any pics I have I get off facebook.
