 Movie Nights: 

Home Depot Gingerbread Houses: 


 SHOPPING!! and hikes :)
 After our friends left for their home Jane commented, "I'm not sure which is harder.  When you are the guest you have to drive all the way back home.  When you are the host you have to try to get used to not having your friends here anymore." We miss you!

And yesterday we got our 1st dusting of snow- it's all gone now, but it made the kids excited!

Halloween 2012

We have been excited for Halloween all month long thanks to this cute countdown my mom made us:

This year we had a vampiress:

a Monster:

a Cheerleader/Witch:

and a Dragon:


We had our ward Trunk or Treat on Saturday.  Here are some of the cute costumes:

         (this was SOO cute!)       (Will is someday going to marry our Kate )               (Kate and Natalie)





       (Friends :)                                   (More friends/our presidency)

 
            (Stick man)                          (LOVED the boots)          (2 cute cheerleaders)

         (Pretty Princess)              (James was this last year- we borrow it from this cute guy..)

On Monday we all got cleanings at the dentist and no one had cavities :) 
    For FHE we strung spider webs over every picture in our home-  
B's mom sent us a big package with a "real" spider story to go along with it. 
(We also checked all of our 72 hour kits to prepare for the "Sandy" storm.)
Tuesday was "Mall-O-Ween" and it was CRAZY- we didn't last long

Today the kids had class parties:
 (All the Kindergarten teachers                       (James loved this shark)
were Chicka Chicka Boom Boom trees)

 (Bruce's class)                                           (Jane is in the bottom corner)

James and I also went to a really fun Halloween playgroup- Thanks Megan!
For dinner we are "spider" rolls and soup, rat eyes (pomegranates) and Poison drink
Thank you Grandma Miller for the super package and fun treat bags!

After that was Trick or Treating!
We went trick or treating with our neighbors for about 1 1/2 hours.  It was fun to go with them.
 
They each got SOOOO much:
 Happy Halloween 2012!
