Halloween....all week

When I was little, Halloween was only one day. Now between church functions and school activities, Halloween is a week long party. We went to a pumpkin patch in Nampa while we were in Boise for state soccer last weekend. Our college friends, the Hills, took us to a patch near their home. We took a hay ride out to the patch and the kids got to pick their own pumpkin.

Carving...for family home evening.

Mia's not sure about all that slime...

Sis's had to dress up all week for school. The first day was nerd day (she fit right in...just kidding sis.) The second day was super hero day, she was violet from the Incredibles. The third day was pajama day and the last day was your halloween costume. Sis went as Lola from Hannah Montana. I was proud of her. She had a lot of responsibility that week. Because she is the 6th grade rep, she was in charge of all the activities for the week, ending with a carnival that she and the other rep put on themselves. She did a good job.

Thursday was the annual Tetonia Elementary School Halloween Carnival. I was in charge of getting all the volunteers for 28 games. It was a job and I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off the whole night. But it turned out ok. The girls got their faces painted. Sis worked in the spook alley. All this and it's not even Halloween yet...
