Halloween





Halloween is a fun time of year. The kids love to dress up and pretend to be anything that they want. Halloween started for me on Thursday with my pre-school kids. I had my usual Halloween Parties. The kids came to school dressed in their costumes. We played Halloween games like ghost bowling and witch's cake walk, then ended with our class parade around the cul-de-sac. The parade is always a huge success. All the parents and neighbors love to watch the kids and come to take pictures. Then I repeat the whole thing again on Friday for my other classes. While I was teaching my classes on Friday Scott went to Tyler's Halloween parade at his school. Tyler decided that he would be a gangster this year. His costume was so cool. Then the fun for our family began. This year we started the fun at our church with trunk-or-treat. It was fun to go to because you got to see everyone in the ward and talk to all of them. I loved seeing all of our primary kids dressed up. Then we went to Grandma and Grandpa Laycock's for dinner. Grandma always makes us soup and it is sooo good. After that we went to Zachary's and went trick or treating with him. Then we made our way over to Grandma and Grandpa Jolley's house. Then we finally made it back home. It was a good thing that Halloween was on a Friday. It would have been to hard to get up for work the next day. Even Tyler slept in on Saturday, which almost never happens.

You know, I've always had issues with "trunk-or-treating" but this year it was nice and I think my opinion has changed. We had a great time, too! And I loved the fact that we still had the chance to visit gmas and gpas as well!

I am stalking your blog. Hope you don't mind. I am sad we missed the trunk or treat this year. We didn't get our flyer about it until the night before. By then we already had plans. Glad it was fun. Maybe next year.

I enjoyed coming to your trunk or treat as well! I love these pictures, Tyler's costume is great!!
I also miss your "preschool parade", but I guess this year I wouldn't have had anyone it in any way! :-)
