[ trunk-or-treating and pumpkin carving! ]

On Saturday we had our ward Halloween party, which John and I were in charge of helping out with. It was a success! We had hot dogs, chips and homemade root beer for dinner and then went trunk-or-treating in the parking lot afterwards. We were trying to help Angie with saying "trick-or-treat" and every time we'd come to the next car we would say, "What do you say?" and she replied, "Help please?" which is what she usually says at home when she wants something. So we had to re-train her! After the fifth car she was opening up her back and saying "trick-or-treat" like a pro! We were so proud! The only thing is that she wanted to start eating the treats right then of course! We then had to stop for a minute to enjoy some of her treats, so I think now that she'll be really ready for tonight!






We had lots of fun carving pumpkins with John's family on Sunday night. Here they are all lit up! Mine is the silly face, John's is the scary face and Angie's is the spider of course! John has a tradition of carving intricate designs in his pumpkin every year, this year wasn't as extravagant, but still turned out great! John is so fast at it that he was able to carve his and Angie's in the same amount of time I carved mine! I'm a bit of a perfectionist though, so maybe that's why it took so long! :) Angie didn't care to help out on the carving, but thought the outcome was great and of course gave the pumpkin a kiss! Seems to be Angie's new thing! :)





HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
