Don't Be Scared!

Scary Pirate Pumpkin! Nice one Alli!

A Scary Halloween is when your 13 year old takes over the carving of the pumpkins! She did a great job. No quick trips to Insta-Care! She carved Cinderella's Coach for Lindsay and helped Calvin with his Clone Trooper pumpkin.

Lauren was a beautiful princess. (A little scary for her parents!)

Calvin was Commander Cody. Don't be scared--his gun isn't loaded!

Alli and her friends headed to a Halloween Party. Scary that she's already going to Halloween Parties. (She's the cute pirate on the left.)


Our traditional candy swap. Alli won! "Look at all our candy!" Daddy was scared they might actually eat all that candy! We all laughed at him. "Don't worry, Dad, we can handle it!"

Lindsay wasn't scared, she was excited to get everyone's "Pa-ta-toe!" (I guess that sounds sort of like Playdough?)

Halloween was a little different this year--the 24 hour flu in the early morning hours made it scary! But by night-time, Calvin felt well enough to go around our little block with Lauren, and Lindsay stayed home with us. We managed fine, although Lindsay never wore her costume--except to our ward party. I'm sure she'll be wearing it often for dress-ups. It's nice to know we can handle that sort of bump along our journey.
