Halloween (and the rest in between)

I know I am a total slacker but I guess if I say I'm only making monthly posts than I'm not doing too bad! I know that's a lame excuse but I'll try to do better. So here goes for the Halloween week of events. It all started with Brinly's school carnival the week before Halloween. Brinly had a fun little first grade music performance and I had to sit at and monitor a booth for four hours! yeah!!!
Brad and I were invited to a fun Halloween party by some friends of ours. We dressed up as Padame and Anikan Skywalker from the recent Star Wars Trilogy. This is the first year that Brad has dressed up in the ten years we've known each other. I think he had fun, too! Then the Monday before "H" Brad's parents invited the family over for a spooky surprise dinner party.

We had a ward trunk-or-treat on Tuesday, dance parties on Tues & Thurs, & of course school parties on Friday. We did manage to get our pumpkins carved on Thursday Night just in time for Halloween Night.Brinly's teacher Mrs. Shober was a toothfairy. She has a little boy friend named Chase who dressed up as Luke Skywalker and I just had to take a picture of Luke and Princess Laia. Brinly also had a picture with one of her friends in her class named Olivia the "cowgirl". Here are Brooklin and Madison at their school with their teacher Mrs. Keri. The girls had a little performance and parade but Madi got a little shy.
Finally Halloween Night came and the girls got to go trick or treating. Wow by then they were almost Halloweened out! My sister and her family came into town and we hung with them all night. We had fun but I am glad it's over until next year, right!
And here is my silly sister that wanted to pose for the camera more than the kids would. Hahaha! This is my sister Erika, who lives with us. She was dressing up to co to work. Isn't she cute. She wanted to be a fairy just like all of her nieces! (:<
