All Hallows Eve







The elementary school gives out vouchers for pumpkins at the local store and this is what the boys did with theirs. Wife said this was her best Halloween ever. She HATES Halloween but this year the ward had a party so instead of sitting home passing out candy to young socialists expecting something for nothing we went to the party and had dinner. Part of the dinner was that a few people told of their pioneer ancestors and I was asked to share a story. So I told the story of... let's say it together... Lucy and James. The two oldest dressed up like teenagers of the '00's and the girl went to a party in the lower valley. G-man was a mountain man and Sparky was Indiana Jones, while 'Leenie was Bull's eye (Woody's horse). I went as a hippie and Wife went as an over worked mother. We missed the majority of young socialists and a good time was had.










On another note I thank the people who sent in pictures for the calendar and say for the final time. If you want to send in a drawing for the calendar it had better be soon.

We wondered why you didn't come. Now we know. We went to IF and had a time.

I'm with the wife, I HATE Halloween also. It is such a stupid holiday. The punkin carvin looks great! I think the party sounds more fun than trick or treating.

Awesome carved pumpkins! Fun costumes for 3 youngest...especially Woody's horse. Very clever, since the wearer is still mainly crawling! I think Halloween is a ridiculous celebration also. What you did sounded fun. We had only three candy beggers come, says wandering granny.
