Trick or Treat

We love halloween in this household. We usually pick a theme and dress up as a family. However, this year our Stake Conference falls on halloween night. Halloween night! Forced to choose between receiving inspired instruction from religious leaders or dancing around a bonfire on a pagan holiday, we sadly decided on attending conference. Tough call, I know.

So, no elaborate costumes this time. {Too bad-- I was thinking cirque du soleil performers would have been a great way to use up all that spandex left over from last year.} Instead, we attended a trunk-or-treat event on short notice over the weekend. I was the Wicked Witch of the West {again} and L was my flying monkey. I called him monkey face and had to restrain myself from kissing his cheeks every time he walked by.

I set up a scarecrow in the trunk and a pair of striped stockings wearing ruby slippers peeked out from under the car. It was fun.

But I still can't wait until next year.
