Halloween... what a peculiar holiday

It is fun looking at our life long traditions of costumes, pumpkins and trick or treating now that I have a child of my own who is experiencing all of this with curious eyes.


Trenton got a pair of pajamas with a monkey on them a few weeks before Halloween, so Deven and Trent began making lots of monkey noises and banging on their chest like gorillas. Deven then thought it only appropriate to dress Trent up in a monkey costume for Halloween. I also frequently refer to him as "Curious George" so we couldn't go wrong with this one.


At the ward "trunk or treat" Halloween party Trent instinctivley knew what to do; walk around looking cute, collecting candy. I threw together a Zoo Keeper costume last minute so I would feel appropriate carrying around my little monkey. Here are a few of Trent's best buddies in their coordinating fussy animal costumes.




Here are a few awesome ladies/friends. Before I met them I thought carmel apples where apples with carmel on them... Oh no... that is only the fist step!


No, this is not Deven's Halloween costume. Unfortunatley he had to be out of town Halloween weekend to attend the first of 2 weekends of Wood Badge Training. Despite his hesitation to go, he had a great experience and met a lot of wonderful people and learned a bit too.
