Halloween Watt's style!

We LOVE Halloween, have I mentioned that before? We have all sorts of traditions in our home during the month of October. Some of them include: eating Dinner in a Pumpkin, decorating the house while listening to "Elmo sings the Boos"(Paul hates that cd) Making lots of homemade decorations, treats, carving pumpkins and decorating sugar cookies...to name a few. This year for Halloween we had Ken, Lisa and kids (Paul's sisters family) spend the weekend with us. I feel bad I didn't get one picture of our kids together in their costumes. We went to the ward "trunk-or-treat"` it looked more like a Stake size function. I've never seen a bigger trunk or treat. It took us 45 minutes to go to every car ( we had an awesomely decorated trunk, thanks Paul). We came home with 3 grocery bags full of candy, unfortunatly they're almost gone, yikes! The kids had a blast!

The following night we dressed up again and went to the elementary school, "Fall Ball", it was pretty lame (no offense to the PTA members in charge of that one) Hardly anyone was there, Grant didn't see one person from his class. Oh, well. We still had a good time. After the Fall Ball, Paul and I left the kids with a babysitter and went to a grown up Halloween party!

Our "Scary" Vampire. His cousin Ellie literally couldn't look at him with his teeth in, it scared her too much. He thought he looked pretty awsome. It's been a week and his hair is still gray from the black hair spray.


Pretty little Indian princess. Doesn't she look like Tiger Lily from Peter Pan?

My baby, Thomas the Tank Engine. We were lucky he wore it the whole time at the trunk or treat, he wouldn't let us put it on him again. He was the cutest little trick or treater.


"Mr. Bottle Bones" We made last year from Milk jugs. It's my kids most prized Halloween decoration.

What? Is that Brangelina? That's right, we went to our party as Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. We were hauling around like 4 babies, it was pretty funny. We attended the annual Halloween party thrown by our friends Lisa and John. This was our first year to go and we heard that folks go ALL-OUT at this party. Last year two couples came all decked out as members of the band KISS, costumes, instruments, make-up and all! So I knew we couln't come in some generic costumes like say, Pirates.

At this party we were told that everyone had to come prepared to preform a skit. The best skit and costumes were awarded prizes at the end of the night. I was reluctant to do a skit, but a friend of mine told me what a big deal it was, and that I would be "lame" if I didn't. Long story short, we won first prize for our skit! Let's just say it involved Paul and I doing some yoga, my water breaking (I popped a water balloon strapped to the inside of my thigh) and giving birth to a cute little black baby. I'll let your imaginations run with that one. People were literally rolling on the floor.

It's been a fun month, but I'm definitely ready for November. Hope y'all had a fun and safe Halloween!
