Halloweenie

Halloween week was great! Eve and Addy went to the duck park in the morning with some friends. The ducks were fed the ducks some cornbread, (that didn’t turn out right for Sunday dinner) and some corn puff cereal. They gobbled it all up! Then Eve, Addy and the friends went to the playground area to swing, slide and everything in-between. Addy had a hard time with the swing, at first but when she noticed that her friend was giggling and laughing she decided to give it a try and loved it. She giggled the whole time; Eve had a hard time getting her out to the swing afterwards. Later that day Eve and Addy went on a long walk in the beautiful weather and Wes met up a little later for the walk home. In the mall parking lot, on the walk home, Eve was getting a little hot and wanted to take off the jacket she was wearing. So while walking Eve pulled the jacket up over her head and didn’t notice that her shirt came with it! And then Wes yelled, “What are you doing”? Eve didn’t know the shirt was coming off too but realized it and hurried and pulled it on. Just a little embarrassing!

Eve and Wes got to carve pumpkins for Monday night family home evening and watch a movie together with no interruptions. Wahoo! It was great! We are Pro's at carving free hand, if you can't tell.

Wednesday was Mom’s and Tot’s Trick or Treat at the church. Each mom was in charge of one door to pass out candy and to decorate it (if they wanted to). All the kids and babies came dressed up and they went door to door in a group and got some treats. For this event Addy was a cute chubby flower. At the first door Addy was mad that Eve was forcing her to go up to it, but then she saw that all of the other kids were getting treats and walked right up to it and got her treat, it was a rice crispy treat. She was so excited that Eve didn’t even have to help her to the next door, she just went right up and held out her hand and her bag. This time it was some pretzels and gingersnap cookies. She kept that one in her hand, the other treat in her bag and was off to the nextdoor holding out her bag. Who knew that kids would catch on so quickly! She love it. After the Trick or treating was over the moms got together in a room and got to chat and snack while the kiddies played.

Thursday was the Law Schools Halloween party. They have pizza and pop and have a little costume contest. This time Eve and Wes were cavemen and Addy was a little monkey. She wasn’t the only monkey there but for sure she was the cutest! After lunch the kids can go trick or treating to each carol (law students desk and work place). This time Addy knew exactly what to do and was pulling us along. She actually snuck off at one point to the haunted carol and was putting all of the candy in her bag. Eve and Wes were busy talking to friends but then noticed and had to give the student all of his candy back. It’s a good thing Addy doesn’t know what candy is yet! She just knows that it usually comes in a shiny or crinkly package, it smells good and it is fun to squish.

Friday was our ward Halloween party that Eve and a friend were in charge of. They thought "Hey we have costumes, where is the party going to be?" Eve, Wes and Addy were cavemen and a monkey again and we had fun. Eve was feeling kind-of stressed and lost her voice but that didn't stop her from fun. Everyone was invited to bring a scary treat and dress up. Most everyone dressed up and only some brought the treats. Eve made fingers and toes and when you bite down there is a crunch, like a bone (don't worry it is just a pretzel) but some people were to scared to eat them. Others brought Brain topped cupcakes, boogers pretzels (pretzels with green icing on the top of them) and mummy toes (little sausages wrapped with tortilla). There were also games to play, bowling with a pumpkin, pumpkin putting, and tossing a penny in the pumpkin. Everyone had fun and there were prizes for the best costumes, group theme, scary treats and those who won the games.

Saturday Eve went to a baby shower in the morning and found a good spot for pictures.
