Candy Candy Candy Candy Candy Candy


Hurray for Halloween! Yesterday was a busy day. It all started with being Derrik's room mother. I was in charge of the Halloween party. Luckily Danny and my mom came and helped and it turned out to be a great party. We made a pumpkin totem pole, spider suckers, had a donut eating contest and decorated cookies and made our own tombstones. It was a lot of fun. Then we headed off to Skywest for trick or treating. The kids seriously got a bag full of candy each. In fact Marlee was begging me to let her stop. She is too funny. Then we came home and Derrik, Daniel and Demmy went out with their friends and Danny, Maycie, Dylan, Marlee and me stayed home to watch Danny's all time Halloween favorite "Young Frankenstein". Isn't Halloween Great?!!!


This is Marlee as a cute little Cowgirl! Most of the time she didn't want her hat on and of course she wouldn't wear the cute pink gun she had, so she basically was just wearing a cute little dress! Love Ya Mars!!


Here is my adorable little witch Demmy. She got lots and lots of candy and was a big help with her little sister.

Here is Danny getting in the Holiday Spirit. The funny thing is he decided to start putting out the decorations at about 12:00 on HALLOWEEN. Gotta love it!!

Here is sweet Maycie Marie in her Goldilocks and the Three Bears Costume. She is standing next to our pumpkin totem pole that we made in Derrik's class at school and that is now in our front yard!!!

This is Derrik as our favorite Scary Clown. He is reading his tombstone to his class before we played Musical Tombstones.

Dylan was our little Tigger. He got the costume brand new and by the end of the night he had already grown out of it and had a hole in the end of his toe! Boy do they grow up fast!
This is a picture I love of Brice and Torsten. Almost all items you see on Brice were from a Yard Sale!! Yea for Yard sales!!
And here is my amazingly strong young man, Daniel. He of course is wearing the ever popular football costume. Have I mentioned that he is now taller then me???? It is so not fair!


This is just a picture from the morning of all the candy.YUMYUMYUM! It was a very wonderful and Successful Halloween. I can't wait for next year!
