Trick or Treat!

our festivities started earlier in the week with a gift package from g & g moncur, complete with sugared cereal that turned your milk green for a little haunting! then g & g mcintyre gave the boys these adorable trick or treat bags that kathy made. they loved them! we had the leavitt family over on friday nite for fondue, pumpkin carving, and frosting halloween sugar cookies. on saturday morning, ben and i went to the temple while camille watched the boys. we all met and went to breakfast first.it was a great morning for all! back at home i had a very quick, crash course on completing the costumes just in time for trick or treating! yes, i leave everything to the last minute. and, yes, i'm trying to change my ways! bentley had been asking to be a pig all month long, so i obliged. i bought a pattern and had it all ready to go, so it didn't take super long. bridon went as "himself"...a box of bridon, baler twine with a twine ball hat.
i first sewed down all the twine, then put it on his head and discovered it was too small, so resorted to hot glue. oh well! we had a fun time taking the boys around to the neighbors. most of them farm, so they got a kick out of bridon. we also stopped at ben's parents and the whole family was dressed up to greet us; even g & g! and then, ended our spree trick or treating cousin heston, who was dressed up as a dino. i think i overdid it and caught a cold with my stunning immune system, but so far it's not too horrible and i'm keeping my fingers crossed, we don't get the swine flu! happy halloween!!!
