Cael now thinks he's too big for a cute costume so it was no surprise he wanted to be a BYU football player. Kensie had went back and forth from Merida, to a witch, and even was thinking Queen Amidala from Star Wars. I was really pushing for a Disney princess since we are going in a couple of months. She finally decided on Merida and when we went to the Disney store to buy it they were all sold out. We had decided to just order it online when all of a sudden a pillar of light came down on the Pocahontas costume. We just recently bought the movie and she had been obsessed with watching it. After she saw that costume there was no going back. I thought it was cute and we got a lot of compliments on it. My only worry was that it wasn't going to be very warm, but it turned out to be a nice day and she did just fine.
I'm the room mom this year so me and Kensie headed to the school for the Costume parade and then to Cael's class party. Casey had made these cute spiders for Kensie to take to her class so I decided to have Cael's class do them also. Yes I said Casey, he's such a good sport and is always willing to help me in any way. I joked this was another episode of Casey's Crafting. The Second grade's didn't turn out exactly like Casey's but they had fun making them unique. I also had a Canyon's Grandma Debbie come and read a book, Patty Luker brought the game "Don't eat Frank", and Donni Pay helped the kids make ghost suckers out of tissues and had a fun treat bag for them. Cael was disappointed that I didn't dress-up like the other mom's. The party went great and I was glad to have my first one under my belt.

After school we decorated Sugar cookies to take to everyone. Casey got off a little early so we could try and get done a little early. We headed to Levan first to see Grandma Worwood and then headed to Mona to Trick or Treat with the Newton's. I'm not a fan of Trunk or Treats and feel it's not about the candy, but rather a reason to visit family and friends. So we didn't do the ward Trunk or Treat and instead tried to hit every house we could.

We ended the night at the Grandparents. Linda always has soup and breadstick for us which is a great way to end the night before heading home to bed.
Happy Halloween!
