Halloween Fun

Halloween this year seemed like it was a week long event. On the Friday before Halloween, Darren and I were invited to an adult Halloween party at our friend's house. We had to be in costume so I was an 80's girl and Darren went as a guy with an undeveloped twin attached to him. My costume will be recognized by our extended Steele family as the outfit from Bill's birthday, the cruise, and 10107. I told Darren that it was really sad that doing my hair came back so easily to me. It was like riding a bike, and only took about 10 minutes. Darren's costume, if you can believe it, only took like 5 minutes to put together. Pretty amazing huh?

Then on the Saturday before Halloween, Madison and Jackson were invited to the "social event of the year". It was a Halloween party given by one of Madison's friends and included all the Mia Maids, Teachers, Beehives and Deacons in our ward. Everyone had to be in costume, which made for many hours of discussion on that topic. I think that Darren and Jackson had the most fun coming up with costume ideas for Jackson. Most of their ideas got the Madison response of, "If you wear that, I'll deny that I know you." That was when Darren and Jackson knew they had good idea!

Madison was a fairy and Jackson was a Baked Potato.

On the Monday before Halloween, we went to a pumpkin patch near our house. We had a lot of fun searching for the perfect pumpkins.

Then we went home and carved our pumpkins because we were busy every night until Halloween.


The finished products.

Finally, it was Halloween night. We met all our cousins at Bill and Gayle's house for Trick-or-treating. I think we were the scariest thing out that night. I bet that the sight of 16 kids coming scared anyone who saw us!

Reagan: Lion, Lincoln: Crocodile hunter, Truman: Clone trooper, Jackson: Undeveloped twin sheriff, Madison: Fairy (without wings because they were uncomfortable).

All of the cousins trick-or-treating.

Of course, being the kind parents that we are, we relieved the kids of the candy that they didn't want :o). Mine and Darren's secret candy drawer is looking pretty sweet right about now!
