Halloween

We survived Halloween week!

First there is all the discussion and decision about costumes. Thankfully, this year Ellie and Hunter’s grandma did the work of making them. She also sent money for Ellie to buy hers. Hunter ended up being a pirate and Ellie a dead prom queen. Here they are ready to go after spending the afternoon with mom and dad getting ready.

We went to the annual Tortolita ward Trunk or Treat again too. It was a night of frustration dealing with the supervising needs when RandR are involved and all that entails. I have so much to learn and improve on with this situation. It is hard. Kelly keeps saying that we are in the refiners fire and will come out of this better people. I keep my hope in that. The kids had fun and enjoyed being with their parents, so I guess that is what matters.

I made yeast scones instead of donuts this year and they turned out yummy. We made honey butter with our favorite whipped honey.

Finally, the night for trick or treating came! We went with the Merrill’s and the Somerville’s in their neighborhood. The kids brought home pounds of candy. Hunter was completely pooped out by the end of the night-there were no arguments when we said it was time to go home.
