Halloween!!

Happy Halloween!! We had a great week, and an especially great weekend!

Unfortunately, we didn't get pictures of everything, but we have some that turned out pretty nice.

All week we watched scary movies after Joslyn went to bed. But after watching Insidious on Wednesday night, Kim couldn't sleep. So on Thursday night instead of watching a scary movie, we watched Warm Bodies and carved pumpkins.

Kim's is a Haunted House, and Isaac's is Anakin and Obi-Wan fighting in the lava cave. 

On Friday we let Joslyn color on her pumpkin, and it turned out great!

On Friday night we had our ward Halloween party. It was really fun. We didn't get any pictures of our costumes, but Kim and I were both skeletons, and Kim had a baby skeleton on her belly. Joslyn was a ghost. They had a chili and cornbread cook-off, and then different families in the ward set up fall games and activities for all the kids. After the kids participated in the activity, they got to trick or treat for candy in that room! Some of the rooms were really neat. There were campfire stories, a cake walk, mini pie making, and Joslyn's favorite was the Halloween dance party room! She probably could have stayed there all night dancing and staring at the lights.

Also on Friday night Jarom and Paige came and stayed the weekend with us while they were going to a business conference here. It was a lot of fun meeting Paige and having them here.

We really wanted to do a lot of Halloween decorating and make Halloween foods.  So, we decided to throw a party.  Unfortunately, we only got a couple of pictures, but it was a lot of fun.  Here are some of the decorations.  

Custom made electric chairs for people of all ages.  

Joslyn just wanted to watch the movies.  

Kim made a cool spiderweb on the door.  

 There were a lot of other decorations that we tore down before photographing.  All kinds of bats and zombies and spiders.

Miniature pumpkins

The best part was probably all of the fun foods we made.  

Eyeballs

Monster Munch

We cut a huge pumpkin in half, cleaned it out, put a clear punch bowl in the bottom half, and used the top half as a platter for some seasoned pumpkin seeds.  There were many more foods that we don't have up here.  Our cabinet is now full of leftover pieces of skull, spider, and eyeball shaped foods.
