I know that I shouldn't be a grump, but I am glad that Halloween is over. It was exhausting!! On Thursday, 30th we had Trunk or Treat at church! So as soon as I got off work, I went to the church. It was nice. The kids did a cake walk and then they went outside to trunk or treat. There was also classrooms in the church that were occupied by different families that decorated their room for halloween. Luke was excited b/c his cousins were there and David Grant from the first ward. Carman loved it b/c Luke loved it!!
The next morning, which was Halloween morning, I took the kids to their parties at the day care. They enjoyed seeing their friends and eating more goodies.
That afternoon, I got the kids ready for the big night. We first visited our neighbors and then we went to our old neighborhood to visit our neighbors there. Then we headed to Aunt Faye's for the real reason for halloween...... Kathy's birthday. I feel so lucky to have Kathy in my life. She means so much to me and I love her so much! My kids have caught the Kathy bug as well. They love her and enjoy being around her. Her sweetness is contagious! All the cousins were at Aunt Faye's and enjoyed being together! There was one guest who wasn't welcome.... "that mean ugly man". My brother-in-law, in the spirit of Halloween, got a hairy monster mask for his costume. He had it on was walking around Aunt Faye's house. I didn't think anything of it, but when I went in the back room of her house, I found my sweet Carman at the very back of the couch. I said "what are you doing Carman?". Her bottom lip started to quiver and her mouth turned to a frown and she said, as tears started to fall "That mean ugly man going to get me." It was so pitiful. She wouldn't let go of me for the next 30 minutes. She still talks about that "mean ugly man" getting her. Carman got past it in time to go trick or treating. We all had a great time. Kathy had a great time as well and she was the belle of the ball. We love you Kathy!!! (I am so upset that I didn't even get her a picture of her)

I had trouble formatting this post, b/c I am using the Mac and I am still trying to figure it out. Sorry!
