Guys and Dolls was the first play I ever worked on. It has always had a soft spot in my heart. So when the high school put on a performance, we were sure to go. They did a good job. It was hard not to sing along. Teddy fell asleep before the end of the first act, poor thing.
Ethan was one of the supporting actors and a good friend of Charles. He did a great job.
We got dressed up for our ward party. Lizzy went as a victim of a zombie attack.
The zombies got to Charles, too. He was just trying to get to his job after school. Teddy was a dinosaur.
Battles ensued.
Henry won an award for best dressed.
On the 31st, the kids got ready for a night of trick-or-treating. Starting with pumpkin Carving.
Lizzy created her own character this year.
Charles' friends came by before we were planning on going out and promised to take a quick walk and return. Needless to say, he did not return when the kids were ready to go out. Daniel met up with the kids as they went trick-or-treating. Henry decided that he would rather stay with me to pass out candy. He passed out some of his own candy. Charles did return later, pockets bulging with candy. Devon and Teddy called it quits, but the girls went a bit longer.
Later that evening, I went in for a sleep study, where I received very little sleep. The technician had to keep adding more and more nodes to my head. Her equipment was not working very well. But I guess it was the perfect horror story for Halloween night.
The Parks and Recreation Department had a Touch a Truck event. The kids had fun climbing all over the vehicles.
Emily had her 5th-grade concert, and it was Minecraft themed. Emily decorated a grass cube for the decorations.
We had a fun time at Colonial Gardens celebrating the season.
Emily was part of a bell choir for our primary program. I got to see them practice. She was very diligent in playing her part. Teddy refused to participate, but Emily and Henry did great.
We had the sister missionaries over for dinner, and I served them stuffed pumpkin and introduced them to TimTams and the TimTam Slam.
They really enjoyed them. I love introducing people to fun new things.
