Trunk or Treat

Saturday we went to the ward Fall Festival where the kids got to trunk or treat and get a good start on filling up their candy bags for Halloween. I put Richard in charge of Savannah's costume last minute and he did such a good job pulling off the creeper costume she wanted to be (wouldn't be anything else). I threw together a pot of chili, remembering past years of running out of food. I was so exhausted and if anything took shortcuts with my recipe and this goes to prove how good my recipe is: I won first prize in the chili cook-off. Thank you Carolyn for passing that recipe down to us! My kids had a wonderful time. I lost Porter and went to every activity center looking for him and found him in the bean bag toss on the stage. Apparently he kept getting back in line. The girls loved the hay ride and being with their friends. We all headed over the pirate ship after. A local man and his wife who formerly worked for Disney builds this enormous Halloween attraction in his yard with haunted cemetaries and a huge pirate ship. All the neighbors help with parking and dressing up and being part of the huge set. It scares Porter. He woke up the next morning showing Richard and I his scared face going through it. Tonight is officially Halloween. Our heat went out last week and we haven't had a second to get it fixed so Richard may stay home and meet a guy coming out to look at it. We will probably get our kids together with our other friends kids and let them go together.
