Annual Trunk-Or-Treat Event

Tonight was our ward trunk-or-treat party. We had a chili cook-off with some very delicious choices (and hot dogs for the kids because what kid actually likes chili?). Clint was upset with me that he didn't get to hit his goal of 5 full bowls (we were in charge of the spooky swamp fishing and didn't have much time to eat).

The primary and YM/YW put on a bit of a carnival, so the kids had fun eating donuts from a string, playing musical chairs, getting face painted, playing BOO Bingo, potato sack racing, etc.

Of course, the highlight of the night was the trunk-or-treating. They got tons of candy and the kids are reminding me of how much more they will get on Halloween night. I already scheduled their 6 month dental cleanings for Nov. 20, so that should give them enough time to gorge themselves and then get their teeth fixed up!

Our darling princess wanted to be "Scary Hulk"...I was just sure she would change her mind and want to be a princess, so I had to go out at 10 pm last night to find something to throw together for her, as she was not budging on the Hulk idea! I think she looked pretty good, considering...

Corbin (for the 2nd year in a row) was Spiderman

Cade was a fierce ninja

Cole was a scary scarecrow guy (I forgot to paint a nose on him...oops!)

Payton took her friend Rikishia. Payton was a vampire and Rikishia was a genie. They had fun doing their own make-up!
