Here are some pics of are Halloween. We had a trunk-or-treat party at the church on Tues. the 28th. The girls got to listen to a story. Then trick or treating to a few rooms in the church, including a balloon room, where they got to kick around in a room filled with... ...balloons. The young men had a scary walk-through room. Rachel was scared backwards out of the room. Emily laughed at all the scary people as she walked through. It was a great party. Ruth won the pie-eating contest, uh... I mean... the pie-baking contest, with an awesome apple pie (lots of Fuji apple and extra cinnamon and sugar on the crust). Sorry, no pictures of that event, but here are the kids:
Thursday night we drew faces on and carved pumpkins. Jason had a revelation halfway through after getting tired of using kitchen knives on the innocent cucurbits. The real tools came out and the face-shaping got a lot easier, even if it wasn't faster. A keyhole saw, jigsaw and some drill bits are better than any store-bought pumpkin kit.
Saturday night we had our own party with friends from church. The Chapmans and the Piers came over. We had homemade doughnuts, caramel corn, 1-2-3 popcorn, roasted pumpkin seeds, root beer, cider, and more. The kids watched a movie while the adults talked and played a great game of Cranium.

How fun...love the power tools idea! Did you guys have your church party on actual Halloween? I remember the fishing over the sheet,the haunted house, cupcake walk,dum dum game, etc and trick-or-treating in all the rooms and fun stuff! Ours was a chili cookoff and trunk-or-treating outside the week before Halloween. I miss the good old days!
Fun costumes all the way around! Sounds like you all had fun. By the way, what is 1-2-3 popcorn? You haven't introduced me to that one yet. Miss you guys!
Fun halloween. Now that Jason knows the secret to carving pumpkins, I expect an award winning pumpkin each year.
Our trunk-or-treat/church party was last Tuesday. It took the place of our Young Men/Young Women night.
Sarah made the 1-2-3 popcorn. It's popcorn with a light candy coating on it. It usually gets some food coloring in it to make it interesting.
Those parties in the Auburn II ward were always great weren't they?
Jacob and I LOVE your idea to use REAL tools for pumpkin carving. We're gonna use them next year! The costumes are great, my nieces and nephews are so cute I can hardly stand it!!!
