Halloween

My kids were thrilled when they found out Trick-or-treating was going to happen 3 nights in a row for them. I unfortunately didn't get any pictures of the first 2 nights, but I did of Halloween night. Anyway, Wednesday was our ward's trunk-or-treat and we had a blast! They had a nice sit-down dinner at 6:00 and then at 7:00 we headed outside for the trunk or treat and a carnival. Mark was dreading this part as they had asked the bishop to be in the dunking booth. It was really cold that night so he was worried about getting sick. But the leaders in charge were good sports and warmed up the water for him. The kids loved dunking him! McKenna didn't hit the target so she just ran up and pushed it and down dad went! She thought that was the best thing ever! Jacob actually nailed the target fair and square and laughed uncontrollably when Mark hit the water. He thought he was something else. Kaitlyn just watched and laughed the whole time. It was a fun night and no, Mark didn't get sick!

On Thursday, we went to my in-laws so they could see the kids costumes. We only went to visit 4 other relatives that night, but boy did the kids get loaded up! And then of course Friday was the real deal and we invited some friends of ours over and went through the neighborhood. Kaitlyn's bag was so heavy she couldn't even carry it. We have WAAAAAY too much candy in this household. After that we went out for pizza and stuffed our face at a buffet bar of every kind of pizza imaginable. When we came home, the kids just crashed. They were exhausted! Everyone had a great holiday and thanks mom for making the Dorothy costume and the bags!

Oh my goodness they are all adorable. McKenna looks 7 feet tall! And I love Katy in the braids. I wish we could take the kids out together. Maybe someday! If not, then I will just have to try my arm at that dunk tank!!!!!
