Hooray for Halloween

We enjoyed carving some of the pumpkins we raised in our garden.

 Hudson had gotten permission from his teacher to take in peanut butter bars.  (They have become his specialty.)  I didn't hound him to get them made, so when he didn't have them made I figured he wouldn't be taking them.  To my surprise, he woke up early and whipped up a batch before school.  When he told his classmates, they were pretty impressed.
We spent the afternoon at the school helping with Hudson's classroom party and then watching the costume parade.




This year we had a My Little Pony, a lady bug, lion, and lion tamer.  We had fun putting them together.  We enjoy the challenge of creating original costumes.  Hudson found his whip during the summer at a garage sale so he came up with a costume to incorporate it.




This year, the kids decided to fore-go the ward Trunk or Treat in order to visit some of our older friends.  It was so rewarding to share some time visiting with them.  The kids would agree, that's more important than the candy.
