Happy Halloween!


Hope you all had a Happy Halloween! We are only 2 months behind on blogging, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to blog about Halloween. It was fun this year to take our little "tiger" trick or treating for her first time. We always enjoy dressing up with a family theme for Halloween to attend the ward trunk or treat. We were zoo keepers this year. It surprised me how many people thought Laurel was Tigger. I purposely put a pink bow in her hair because I knew she would be called a boy by those who didn't know her, and she was. I found costumes last year for under 5 dollars so had the choice of a tiger costume or a monkey. She absolutely cried when I put a monkey costume on her in September however, she enjoyed wearing the tiger costume and would say "rah" when we asked her what the tiger said. We're in trouble if her opinions are that strong at such a young age.

Laurel had a great time obtaining candy and relished in the fact that she had a whole bucket full. She took piece by piece of candy out of her pumpkin bucket saying "num num num num". She then handed each one to me and said "tenk tu" (thank you). Good thing I'm not an older brother or sister and that I give candy back.

What a cute Idea. I always think about doing the 'theme' idea a little too late, when it's only days until Halloween. And besides, all my kiddos have strong opinions of what they want to be, so I don't think I could steer them in a direction. Ben would only be a bat for Halloween. I had to come up with a last minute costume for him.
