I know my Halloween update is very late but I have a very good excuse. Rhett and I left for a 10-day trip to Belize on Halloween. We just got back on Sunday and so I am trying to update the blog. I'll put an entry all about Belize after this one. These photos are of Tally as a witch, Lane as Bob-the-Buillder, Cade as a ghost and Chase not dressed up yet. He was carving pumpkins. One odd thing about living in Arizona is that you can only carve your pumpkin on Halloween or the day before because it is so warm the pumpkin withers up and looks like an old maid. So, the night before Halloween we carved the pumpkins and all the kids helped.
Although we missed the actual Halloween night we took the kids to their fall festival at school where they got to dress up and do carnival-type things. On Halloween night Rhett's parents got the task of taking them to the ward trunk n treat. They got off pretty easy since trick or treating around the parking lot is pretty easy. No one trick or treats around neighborhoods here because there are no streetlights, no sidewalks and half the houses are empty because they are owned by part-time residents. The kids and grandparents said that all went well. If I had to miss a holiday with the kids I am not too broken up about missing Halloween. It is has never been high on my list (except for the fact that a large amount of chocolate comes into the house).
I will post about Belize any day now!
