Halloween WEEK 2008

HAPPY HALLOWEEN 2008
WARD TRUNK or TREAT Party!
We had a lot of fun at the ward trunk or treat party. My good friend Vanessa and her little boy Marco came. We played games, ate food, and we chased Sophie around. I love the pictures of them holding hands to go outside and trunk or treat.
PUMPKIN PATCH!
I had been wanting to take Sophie to a pumpkin patch since she fell in love with Pumpkins this Halloween. So I did it! We went to a little church in Helotes and walked around the pumpkin patch taking lots of pictures and looking for the smallest pumpkin we could buy.
PUMPKIN CARVING!
Pumpkin carving is officiallly our family tradition. We have done it now 3 years in row, so I guess that makes it a tradition. Sophie loves pumpkins....just doesn't like carving them or at least touching the inside goop. Below are the final products. Sophie loved her pumpkin she picked out at the Pumpkin patch earlier in the day!
LIBRARY HALLOWEEN STORYTIME AND
GYM HALLOWEEN PARTY
We started off Halloween morning by going to the Library for 'Halloween Storytime.' We sang songs, made crafts, and went trick-or-treating. Then we headed over to the gym for some more fun. While mom was working out Sophie played with her friends who were all dressed in thier costumes. This is a picture of her buddy she plays with everyday at the gym. TRICK-OR-TREATING!
Sophie actually loved trick or treating. We went with our neighbor across the street Sophia who is 3. Sophie was running up to the doors and knocking just like a big girl! I had to run in after her at some houses...She hasn't quite learned not to just walk inside someones house. It was a great night!

Looks like Sophie had a great Halloween! When they start to understand what's going on it makes it sooo much fun. Sam was still a little scared of some of the costumes but Riley had a ball. How ya feelin'? Hope all is well!
