Halloween festivities & pictures galore!






















































































Well, it's a tad late, but last Friday we had our "TRUNK or TREAT" with our ward and it was a great time for all. We were inside for a while and we didn't see Kai that entire time. He was off running around the cultural hall with his buddies. He was literally dripping in sweat when we finally got a hold of him. Payton had the best time playing on the stage with the other kiddies. At one point she was just dancing around with some random skeleton arms in her hands. How fitting, eh? After a tasty meal, we all headed outside for the trunk or treating. It was already getting late, so that didn't last too long which was OK by me. All in all, it was a success!

Halloween night was especially fun. We started the evening at a little Halloween get together at the Roney's. Delicious food and great company always makes for a great time. To my surprise, Kai had told me early in the day that he didn't want to get dressed up AGAIN (he had a school party that day,too) and he had enough candy,so he didn't want to go trick or treating. Well, after the Roney's party and seeing and playing with all his friends, he changed his mind (of course) and wanted to go out trick or treating after all. At that point, I was looking forward to just going home & relaxing, passing out candy, etc. So, I had to change back to action mode and get him ready. Luckily, his costume was a no brainer. We all went out, caught up with the gang, and hit a few houses. It was fun and I just didn't have the heart to not go! Now, we have WAY too much candy, but that's how it goes, eh?

TAGGED!

Ok, Abi (abijoe.blogspot.com) "TAGGED" me today and it was fun to read her little facts. I really didn't know that stuff about her and it was fun. So, here how it goes...

RULES:
1. List the link to your tagger (like I did with Abi) and also post these following rules.
2. Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog - some random, some weird, etc.
3. Tag 7 people at the the end of your blog also leaving the links to their blogs
4. Let them know they are "TAGGED" by leaving a comment on their blog

THE FACTS...strange or not ~

1. I have a funny habit of rubbing material (preferably a satiny blanket) between my fingers. I always have it with me when I am at home, especially when watching TV / relaxing. I might have it on my lap now. I will never quit cause I really don't see why I should. I love it!
2. I knew I wanted to marry Jared after our first date. It was pretty much a blind date. Right after he dropped me off, I walked in and called my friend, Hillary, and told her I was going to marry him. (ps. she's the one who set me up with him...)
3. I can remember anyone's birthday if you tell me once (maybe twice). You'd think I was good at math, but I suck!
4. After changing my major 5 times...I graduated with a BS in English...not because I love it, but because it came the easiest to me and I just wanted to finish already!
5. Pumpkin Pie is my #1 favorite thing to eat! (w/ cool whip...of course)
6. I sucked my thumb until I was 8. No buck teeth, no braces!
7. I have 3 tattoos...Yikes - can you say rebellious stage?!:)
