Halloween Week

Monday night for Family Home Evening we carved our pumpkins. Darcy loved taking the tops off and putting them back on. I never got a picture of the finished product, but Drew carved a skull and I carved a ghost. They were awesome!

Friday night we went to the ward Halloween party at the church. They had a chili/cornbread cookoff, a doughnut eating contest, and trunk-or-treat. Darcy was a super cute strawberry this year! She didn't like to keep her hat on, but a couple times we put it on her and she forgot about it so we were able to get a couple pictures.

They convinced Drew to be in the doughnut eating contest. He insists he wasn't even trying, but he ended up winning anyway. I was very proud! :)

Some serious doughnut eating action!

Our friends Rich and Brittany and Ari and Abbi live in an awesome duplex together and they had a Halloween party on Saturday night. We had so much fun! They had a cake walk and bocce ball with mini pumpkins in one side of the duplex and rock band in the other side. There were tons of cute decorations and delicious treats! Rich & Brittany were a cowboy and Indian. Ari and Abbi were a tree and tree hugger, and Evelyn was a little fairy. Will and Amanda were an angel and devil. Ben and Kelly were Africans (with authentic costumes from Africa!) Linwood was the Brawny man and Brook was a kid in a candy store. TJ and Melanie were Arabic. Dean and Penny were two pigs in a blanket. There were a few people there who's names I didn't know who were ghosts, a jail bird, a whoopie cushion, some white trash folks, and some safari people with a little monkey and elephant. Lots of fun costumes!!

I bent down to take a picture of Darcy and she thought she was supposed to bend down with me.

Here is the cute strawberry again with a gun from the cowboy and a toy from the kid in the candy store.



The family picture. I was a witch (I really hate this picture of me) and Drew was a 70's guy (Drew really loves this picture of himself). He was so excited to wear this suit. The pants were really tight! :)

We had so much fun playing rock band. We had an awesome girl band! (The Arabic girl, the witch, the African , and the kid in the candy store.)

One of the boy bands. (The Brawny man minus his paper towel roll, the African man, and the 70's guy minus his afro.)

They got a little excited because they were singing the "Woo Hoo" song from Blur and they felt it was necessary to do some jumping.

This has nothing to do with Halloween, but the other day we got this video of Darcy spinning, jumping, and trotting.
