Happy Halloween!


Happy Halloween! I am finally starting my blog that I signed up for months ago... It is Halloween and I actually have a free minute since I made ALL of the kids take a nap. We stayed up late watching Haunted Mansion last night but the kids still thought it would be a good idea to wake up before the crack of dawn. I threatened them with no trick or treating unless they all took a good nap this afternoon. Justin and Alli have been off of school the past 3 days for teacher conferences so I haven't had a break at all. This year all of the kids wanted to be pirates. Justin still had his costume that I made him last year and he wanted to wear it again since "I wore it in Lehi and no one in Heber has seen it..." I made costumes for the girls that all match since they wanted to be "girl pirates". They all have a pirate corset (which they complained was uncomfortable LOL), a pirate princess tutu, and a peasant shirt-dress. I saw costumes like these selling on eBay for well over a hundred dollars apiece but I was able to make 3 of them for about $20. We have trunk or treat at our ward tonight at 5:30 and then we will go to all of our new friends' houses after that.
