trunk or treat

It was a busy day. We attended our annual Roseville 5th ward trunk or treat. It felt weird this year. John was in flight from Oregon so it was just the boys and myself. We missed him but are thankful for his job and definitely thankful for a job that does not require him to travel a lot. We like it when he is around.

 

The boys and their friends. We enjoyed a chili/cornbread dinner. They had a blast running around, playing games and of course, trunk or treating.

 

Flash - aka Tanner. thank you Wal*Mart and black football pants for this last minute costume.

Brody and his buddy, Brayden.

 

Garrett and his crew. Not sure who is under all of these costumes. I do recognize the photo bomber in the back!

Carter and his crew. Tommy, Carter, Lane, Ethan and Joshua.

Trunk or Treat #2

The  boys loved the back to back Trunk or Treats. What's not to love? Tonight, the festivities were with our ward(church family). There were hot dogs, chili and nachos for dinner. There were carnival games, a cake walk, a Bat Cave, a spook alley, good friends, doughnut eating contest, awesome costumes and picture taking. We felt especially lucky to have our friends, Mer, Dylan and Crosby join us this year. We  love any chance we get to spend time with them!

Happy Trunk or Treat!

Trunk or Treat #1

We attended the Trunk or Treat over at the elementary school tonight. It was fun and festive. The boys loved putting on/wearing their costumes. We had a dirt bike rider and The Super Mario brother, Luigi. They loved all of the carnival like games. They loved sitting in the Police car and being able to turn the lights on. They loved running into their classmates/friends and checking out their costumes. They especially loved going  from car to car to Trunk or Treat!

This is a site that I don't EVER want to see again :-). Brody was all smiles!

Can you say, " C-A-N-D-Y?????"

Trunk or Treat

It's done!
It's over!
I am exhausted!
I am very thankful to all of those who helped!
I think everyone had a great time.
I know my boys did.



I am in charge of throwing the annual Trunk or Treat party for everyone at church. We figured we had about 250 people attend this year. A ton of time & effort went into pulling it off. Couldn't have done it w/out my helpful committee and great friends who know when to jump in & help. A huge thank you to Lisa P. for watching Brody & to Lisa H.

for doing a ton of everything last night. Love you girls. We had hot dogs, homemade chili & cornbread for dinner. The children enjoyed carnival stations that included face painting, a cake walk, cotton candy, fishing for prizes. a bean bag toss, pin the nose on the pumpkin, a spook alley & the doughnut eating contest. Due to the rain, we didn't trunk or treat from car to car or enjoy hay rides. We did everything but the hay rides inside. From what i could tell, it sounded like the kids had a great time. I know my older boys had fun & played hard. I think I saw them once the entire night. They all went out like lights as soon as their heads hit their pillows.
I'll leave you with a few of my favorite photos & costumes from last night!
Happy trunk or Treat!

Trunk or Treat

Whew-it's over. What a fun night. I am the activities committee chair at church. I am in charge (along with my committee) of throwing all of the parties at church. I normally love to throw parties and get togethers. I like all of the fun planning and crafty things that go along with parties. This party throwing for the whole ward is on whole other level. We planned the Trunk or Treat activity for about 300 people. Lots of time and planning went into this party. John and are so grateful and thankful that my parents were able to come up and help us with soccer games and the boys during Trunk or Treat. Thanks Mom and Dad. I think everyone had a great time. I know our boys sure did. I think I saw Garrett once during the entire evening(that's why I don't have any pictures of him). Everyone enjoyed the bounce houses, a hot dog dinner, cotton candy, face painting, a cake walk with unlimited cupcakes, fishing for prizes, hay rides, a costume parade and of course Trunk or Treat. It was a great night. We all crashed when we got home & slept very well. Now I am moving right along and am gearing up for our Christmas party. Are you ready Camie :)? Have a great Sunday.
