Halloween Eve

The day before Halloween was probably even more fun than Halloween. It began with the boys' preschool Halloween party. They got dressed up in their costumes, Drex a chicken and Quin, spiderman, and went to school with enough candy to pass out to everyone for their exchange and some fingerfoods to share for the potluck they were doing. They brought coffin shaped ham & cheese sandwiches and breadsticks that they helped me shape into bones...very spooky! They loved it and had a fun day there! They were even more excited for the fun after class because they knew their Marsh cousins were going to be there when they got home!! We hadn't gotten together for over 2 months so the kids (okay, and me too!) were anxious to see them! Our ward Halloween party was that night and they were able to stay and go to that with us, so the kids brought their costumes along. We spent the day making vampire cupcakes to bring to the ward party later, and carving pumpkins. Except instead of carving them all, we decided we'd do something different for each one! So this is how they turned out:Here's the boys after preschool with their friends Andon & EmilyMaryJane's Raggedy Ann costume from a few years back fit Liberty perfectly and looked absolutely adorable on her! She started posing for me after she got dressed!

Charlie had this great idea that he and the boys could dress up like Papa (his dad) for the church party. Everybody there knew who they were supposed to be right away, it was hilarious!Happy Halloween!Some of the cupcakes we made that dayDrex with his gal-pal Emily; those are goldfish Drex is holding, they had this game there where you could win fish, every kid was in that line!!

Drex's other favorite gal-pal: cousin MJ, she's so happy she won a fish of her own!Cute cousins Chloe & Ellie Rachel & Ren: I think she's pondering what to do with all the new pets they've just acquired. I think they went home with at least 8 goldfish.
