crazy day

A few days ago, the kids had crazy sock and hair day at school!  They loved spray painting their hair {yes, Caden's is black and white even though in the picture you can't tell}.  Lexi wanted a ponytail on half her head and a braid on the other half.  {She's a girl that knows what she wants!}  Fun times!

Halloween

Once again, I feel like Halloween is a week long celebration rather than one day.  The same night we went to our party my parents took the kids to the fall festival at the school where they had tons of fun.  Then on Sat. night we went to our ward fall festival where they invited the whole neighborhood.  It was full of fun with a bounce house, face painting, carnival games, a haunted house and trick or treating.  Then finally on Monday night {Halloween} we dressed up once again to go trick-or-treating around the neighborhood.  The kids had a blast and got way way too much candy!

AMAZING

We were invited to the most amazing Halloween scavenger hunt party ever!  We knew it was going to be over the top from the minute we received the invite in the mail and had no idea who was hosting the party other than "Hilda Witchway".  Well, we were right...this party did not disappoint!  We were put in teams and had to come up with a "team theme" days before the party.  We then showed up at an unknown location and were given our first clue which led us to run around looking for other clues. Some of the fun included downing a gallon of ice cream, canoeing around a lake, egg hunting, finding a mysterious book in a book store {which ended up getting the cops called on us} and many more hysterical and unforgettable moments!  

Our team color was white, so we decided to go as corpse bride and grooms.  Let me just say it was a blast...and yes, we won best costume!  

It's hard to see all of the details of our costumes, but we got really into it.  We even had blinking diamond rings and glowing heart pins and decorated our vehicle to say "just married" with cans hanging from the tail.  It was incredible how every group got so into it.  Some of the other groups were: team twilight {with red contacts and all!}, team rednecks {they were just as you'd picture square dancers who win a contest at the state fair = hilarious}, team Harry Potter, team Richard Simmons {dressed in all their 80's workout gear},  team Pigs in a Blanket, team Men in Black, and team Ceiling Fans!  Such a fun time!!!
