Happy Halloween 2008

Jasmine Jocelyn and Froggy Beckton

Halloween has officially come and gone for our family. The children were thrilled with the amount of goods they brought home and all the fun they had. Jocelyn was Jasmine (sans the black wig, "it smelled bad") and Beckton was a frog (which he likes so much he'd be sleeping in it right now if it weren't for the chili and candy all over it). We made chili and went over to the church for the chili feed and trunk-or-treat. The weather is so nice that it was all outside and people actually decorated their trunks! There was oodles of yummy chili, some games, a lot of cool costumes and trunks. Our Bishop even brought his school bus and did a haunted bus tour! It was a lot of fun, probably one of the best ward trunk-or-treats we've been to (although I'll admit it's probably that the weather is fairly warm and not freezing)! We even did a little house-to-house trick-or-treating on the way home. Morgan and I are convinced that Beckton would be a great door-to-door salesman. There was no hesitation coming from him about knocking on peoples door. He was very polite too and charmed them with his "tank too", smile and "haddy haaoween" wave goodbye. Jocelyn crashed within 10 minuted of getting home it was a long day for her. She had a candy hunt at school and played really hard after school.Morgan, as usual, decided that he loves Halloween and would have liked to dress up (this of course after seeing all our friends and the other adults having fun in costume). I think he does this every year, I ask what he'd like to be, he says Halloween is more for the kids and then regrets no getting into costume and being involved...so frustrating!
