Halloween 2017

Another successful Halloween is behind us.  This year we had a few days of dress up.

Friday, Leah dressed up as a robber for her High School Monster Smash. 

That same night Cora and Maycie went as a ninja and pinata for their YSA dance.

After the dance they were asked to help finish filling a friends room with newspaper.  Absolutely full.  They had so much fun. 

Tuesday, actual Halloween, Blake was Jughead for his school party.  He kept explaining to all that no, he doesn't watch Riverdale, thinks that it is stupid, just Jughead from the original comics.  They had some fun activities at the school and a haunted house.  He said it was all kinda fun.  As soon as the kids got off their buses we headed to piano and then on to the Toone's.  We had a fast dinner, then Joe and Dave were off with Blake, Avery and Sophie for trick or treating.

Soon after they left, kids started arriving for Emily's party.  They all had a great time.  They watched a movie and went out to play some games in the dark.  Leah scared the boys and was proud of herself for that.  

After the games they came back in and just hung out and chatted until parents picked them up.  We did pretty good this year.  Got home a little after 11.  Emily had everyone bring some candy.  They just dumped it in the middle of the floor.  That is seriously all candy you see. It was a very successful, fun party.  

Cora sent us some pictures that night of her and Maycie at mission prep class.  Here is the picture and what she said about it.

On Facebook "Mission prep on Halloween didn’t stop this nice senior couple from doing their missionary work, they were an inspiration to us at institute. Bless Elder and Sister Calhoun on the rest of their mission."

And on Instagram "This is Elder and Sister Calhoun, they are our senior couple visiting Mission Prep today.  What cuties, this is their fourth mission and they are such an inspiration to the rest of us at Institute."

We were laughing so hard.  I sure miss her and her personality around everyday.  I am so glad she is loving YSA and her and Maycie do a lot of fun things.  When talking to her later she said that no on else dressed up for class, but they just owned it.  It was such a good costume that others were helping them up the stairs and into elevators.  I guess they really got into it.

Blake came home with 10lbs of candy, Joe weighed it.  It will certainly last him awhile.  He will bring out his bag after dinner and ask who wants what, and let us all pick a few treats. And he has been sending some in Dave's lunch. So that is it.  Another great Halloween.
