little red

Happy Halloween!  It's sort of weird that Halloween is actually today, since we celebrated it (along with about 95% of Utah) yesterday.   I was so looking forward to it, taking Lily trick-or-treating, having Kyle hide behind a bush or something videoing her first trick-or-treating experience while we knocked on the door, eating all of her candy - all of these dreams were dashed to pieces when the rain clouds rolled in.  It rained on our trick or treating night.  And I mean really rained, for like an hour - and by the time it stopped it was Lily's bed time.  CURSE YOU WEATHER!  Not only that but our little pumpkins couldn't glow, lame.  Here they are not glowing, thankfully I had already taken some pictures of them:

mine's the one in the middle, it just makes me smile every time I look at it.  What a happy pumpkin. Kyle's is on the left, but I'm sad cause you can't see the cool comet he carved.  Just take my word for it, it's really cool.  And the one on the right looks AMAZING when it glows, Kyle's brother Justin carved that one. :)

Well, we're not too good at coming up with costumes, this I am learning.  I'm the type of person that takes a look around and then decides what to dress up as, and so it was for Lily.  Thankfully we had this perfect beyond perfect poncho hand-me-down and I just went with it, isn't she adorable?  Hello little red.

 

I wish I could say that we were dressed to the hilt as Granny and the Woodcutter, but again, the rain sort of stomped out our gusto.  I did throw on a costume last minute inspired by my love for gypsies and a wonderful friend that dressed up as one for a fun get together (to be posted soon) we had this weekend.  She did it so much better, but it was fun all the same.  Especially when a few of my adorable sunbeams came to our door, snatched their candy and ran back to their parents yelling, "that one's my teacher! that one's my teacher!"
