Halloween 2007

As a family we didn't make it to the pumpkin patch. George on the other hand did with his class. It happened to be the same day that I was going to Medford(an hour and a half away) and was late picking them up from the bus. So Carson, Callie, and George trekked a mile with a pumpkin. George said he put it in his backpack.

Sunday, we carved the pumpkin.

Tuesday, the 30th
Our ward Trunk or Treat

A tuckered out little witch!

On Tuesday, we had our ward trunk or treat. It consisted of a potluck meal, pumpkin carving contest, decorating cookies, and having the trick or treating inside the building. They thought the weather would be to cold to be outside. I had signed up for a main dish and a door to decorate. The door I didn't know I signed up for till the Sunday before. The YW also had a door to do and it was the Mia Maids month for activities so it feel on me . I brought the stuff and the YW decorated it. It started at 6pm and Callie had piano at 6 so I packed all the kids up from decorating at the church and went off to piano. Lucy was asleep by the time we got there. We got back to the church around 6:40 and they had already eaten and were moving onto the candy portion of the evening. I never saw them decorate cookies so they must have done that while eating. So we handed out all the candy and then went to judge the pumpkins that people had carved at home. The winner was Anna, the girl that won a car on the 4th of July. After that we cleaned up and went home. It was fun but a little crammed.

The Incredible Hulk!

A Happy Witch (nice wart)

Halloween Day!

Sweet Cinderella!
Costume change. The little girls had fun trying on all the old costumes from years past. This morning Ginger stuffed Lucy into her clown costume from last year.

No cavities for this little witch!
It was actually Gingers visit to the dentist but Lucy wanted a ride on the chair. No cavities for Ginger either. Although she does have a wicked cross bite. Thanks Grammy! While we were at the dentist, the schools did a Halloween parade downtown. I thought we would catch a little of it but we missed it completely. Oh well, next year.

The Hulk, Mad Scientist, Aurora, the big witch,
and the little witch at Shasta View Nursing Center, where David works. They had so much food and played pin the broom on the witch and bobbed for apples. The kids really liked bobbing for apples.

Some prince must have kissed the big witch
because she turned into a princess.
Time to go trick or treating. There were so many teenagers out it kind of took the fun out of seeing all the little ones dressed up.

Did this mad scientist create this hulk? Sometimes he does bring out the beast in George.

These are our local police officers and firefighters dressed up as Star Wars characters. They stood on the corner by the fire station and police station and passed out candy. There were other officers patrolling the neighborhoods.
