Keeps on going and going and going...

Halloween this year was a never ending party! Lexi had a Fall Festival in school on Friday which she said was such a blast. They made spider hats and pumpkin pillows, played Halloween bingo decorated cookies and did many more Fall activities. She came home with her backpack full of stuff. Caden also had a Halloween Carnival at his school on Friday. Both Clint and I got to go and it was so much fun. They had all sorts of carnival games and Caden was loaded with candy by the time we left.

On Friday night we had our annual ward chili cook-off/Halloween party. I did make chili and I'm happy to say that I got 2nd place. Woohoo! My prize was a wooden spoon painted silver and mounted on a plaque that says "2009 Chiller Award". The bronze was the "Chill" and the gold was the "Chilliest". The kids had fun playing more carnival games and going around from classroom to classroom trick-or-treating. They had all the rooms decorated to the nines. It was a lot of fun! And once again the kids came home with way too much candy!

On Saturday some friends from our ward threw a Monster Party. We went and the kids had fun hanging out with their friends and playing more games! They even had a fishing pond where they were giving away live gold fish. Somehow I convinced the kids that we didn't need one because we don't have a fish tank! Thank goodness for that! =)

That evening we came back to my parents house and let the kids go Trick-Or-Treating (not for lack of candy reasons! That's for sure!) They also love to pass out candy to the kids that come around, so they spent a good amount of time doing that. To finish off the night we stopped by Grandpa and Grandma Albright's to let them see the kids in their costumes. We were all exhausted by the end of the night.
