All things Halloween!

O.k. I have finally got to my blog! I guess the latest was the Halloween "season." Phew now that we are done with that we need to gear up for Thanksgiving and Christmas. We successfully got through the first nine weeks of school! It is going by so fast! Alyssa made all 100's in her four main classes! But she needs to work on improving in one elective - journalism. She's having too much fun in that class apparently! Here are all my pictures. Leanna is wearing gross teeth in the top one. Alyssa is getting harder to photograph. The ones I have are the ones she took with her friends! The one with Alicia wearing the make-up was funny because the next day I woke her up at the last minute for Sunday school and she couldn't get the lipstick off because it was my long lasting lipstick! She looked so funny! But then we realized you could use make up remover.
For Halloween, we had fun at the nearby pumpkin patch. Then we went over to an outdoor garden with our friends McKenna and Hayden where they had a maze and moon bounce. Then Emily and Leanna both had costume parade the SAME day at their different schools. Which made for a very hectic morning! As you can see, Emily was a fairy and Leanna was a dragon. However, Grandma is in town and got her a cute witch outfit too which we took her picture in. Also, we had a fun Halloween party to go to at Hayden and McKenna's house. Then we had lots of fun trick or treating in our neighborhood with the Ales boys and girl (picture in the pumpkin bag) and the Grandparents. Leanna quit half way through though and said she was going home by HERSELF. So, Grandpa had to trail her so she couldn't see him all the way home.
