As much as I like this time of year,
I am glad we are done with the Halloween Scene.
It really isn't just one day around here,
It starts with the kids figuring out what they will be
And ends with candy and candy wrappers all over the house.
Plus, at our house we throw in a Birthday before Halloween
And a Birthday after.
It makes for a couple of crazy weeks.
So here is a taste of the madness.
Wednesday - Well I already blogged about that day here.
Thursday - You can read about that here.
Friday - In the morning we attended the elementary school Halloween Parade and in the evening a ward Halloween Dinner and Carnival.
Saturday - First we went to a soccer game. Then we made a few costume adjustments and at 6:00pm while it was pouring outside I tried to take pictures of our Halloween Characters. Half hour later when the rain stopped, the trick or treating began.
Sunday - In sharing time we had a few Dads dress up as the prophets from the "Follow the Prophets" song and they talked about who they were and the primary sang to them. Nothing to do with Halloween but it felt a little like it with all the dressing up. Anyway, later that evening we had a family birthday party for my two oldest boys. So we made mummy pizzas, and cookies that looked like spiders and witches' hats.
Monday - I had to help prepare payroll taxes because like Halloween they come around this time of year too.
Tuesday - We tried to celebrate the birth day of my now teenage son. You can read more of that in my next post.
Anyway, needless to say I am glad
That the Halloween Scene at our house is over.
As I take down the Halloween Decor,
My four-year old proclaims to me again and again,
"Halloween is NOT over!!" -everyday is Halloween to him.
I know that I will look forward to doing all this again next year
When October comes around.
