What were you for Halloween?

Texas experience: Trunk r Treat. Where Texan Mormon kids can see their Mormon friends in costume at the church. Because, unlike Utah, they can't see them living right next door. I got to hand out the candy this year. Can you spot me?

Jaylen decided to draw her costume/character from the local landscape. She was a Texas Hillbilly. I'm just kidding we haven't seen any Texas Hillbillies. . .well hardly. I am just kidding. I'm really going to get kicked out of this state.

Kate decided to go completely out of character and be a Princess/Queen. When she visited the Rennaissance Festival this week she picked up a pink mask to complete the costume and instantly became Princess On Her Way To A Masquerade Ball. What a gorgeous gal!

Sadly we have no pics of Connor. He went to a band Halloween party as Sexy Thing #1 and a friend went as, you guessed it, Sexy Thing #2. This coming from a crazy offshoot of Dr. Seuss. I really would have liked to see the costume. He must have looked completely different from himself.

Hinckley Halloween

We barely got the pumpkin carving in. We ended up buying and carving the pumpkins on the day before Halloween (Thursday). We had fun and Connor still was willing to carve with us. I don't know how long that will last. But he's a pretty good kid so we might be lucky enough to have him always willing to be with his family. If you will notice Connor is not wearing any BRACES! He got them off the day before. It has been a total of 2 whole years that he has worn those. He got them put on Halloween day two years prior and we definitely celebrated this milestone.

A Texas learning experience: The Halloween pumpkins were carved on Thursday. On Sunday (only two days later) Jaylen pulled the lid off one and the whole entire pumpkin was full of white fluffy mold. It looked like a spider's den. The other two looked exactly the same way. Ain't humidity grand!!!
