Our Halloween Day

Yah!! It's Halloween! Unfortunately, Josh had to work all day, so he didn't get to enjoy Halloween with us. But, we seemed to manage without him. The girls and I decided to have a whole Halloween day. So the girls got dressed up in their Minnie Mouse costumes, good thing we just went to Disneyland, and we headed off to find a pumpkin patch.


We met Grandma Judy and Jacob at a pumpkin patch and the kids had a great time looking at pumpkins, goats, and chickens... and eating hay. They were just too busy I couldn't get them all to stay in one place, much less all look at the camera.

Later, while Rachel was taking a nap, Elizabeth and I made a skeleton, out of paper plates, and a ghost, out of a white garbage bag, and hung them on the front door. Not like we get any trick or treaters, but homemade decorations are fun nonetheless.


After Rachel woke up from her nap we painted the tiny $.99 pumpkins that the girls had picked out at the pumpkin patch. I only had one paint brush, so Rachel is painting with the butter brush...

Finally we went to the ward's Trunk or Treat. Grandma, Grandpa and Jacob met us there. The girls had a great time, but were both a little scared. Neither would let go of my hand... Thankfully, Elizabeth remembered to say "Trick or Treat" and Rachel held up her bucket and said, "Tane Too" (thank you). They were so excited to have people just handing them candy. Rachel would not let go of her bucket to save her life. I was so proud of them for being so brave without their daddy there.
