Halloween

It started simply enough: a friend offered a skunk costume for Grey to wear. Jane wanted to dress up as Flora, her favorite fairy from Sleeping Beauty, but we had convinced her to be a flamingo because that would be easier to make. But when Jane saw Grey's skunk costume, she wanted one too. So we found one for Jane. Brad and I wanted to dress up, if we had a good idea, and thanks to Whitney for the inspiration, we became...

PUNKS & SKUNKS

"li'l stinkers" (it says so on their costumes)

Halloween festivities this year stretched over a whole week. We had fun at our ward Halloween party on the 24th, shared a delicious pumpkin dinner with friends on Monday, went Trick or Treating at Brad's office and carved orange peppers on Thursday, and on Halloween went to a Halloween Playgroup (thanks, Cachet!) in the day and a party at the Shaw's (thanks Shaws!) that night.

first annual monster sugar cookies

All in all, we had a very fun holiday, and thankfully the sugar cookies, pumpkin cheesecake bars, and black hair dye are all nearly gone. And I'm pretty much over the fact that my husband can wear my pants.
