Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween! We love Halloween around here. We have done a lot of fun things in October. We had our first annual pumpkinfest at our house. The night before the pumpkin weighoff we had some people over from our ward to celebrate pumpkins with us. Then came the weighoff. This year it was at Thanksgiving Point. The weather was nice--that is always a plus. Matt's pumpkin Large Marge came in at 311 pounds! Wahoo. It was so exciting when they called out the weight. He beat his last year wight of 286 pounds. After the weighoff we went to Corn Bellies. We all had so much fun. Before we knew it it was Halloween night. Matt carved Marge and some of his other big pumpkins with the kids. Then Tyler Quigley came over and carve a triceratops Dino in a pumpkin for Hyrum. Hyrum was so excited he couldn't stop jumping around. It was really cute. We had Farmer's, Quigly's and the Patterson's over for soup and homemade root beer. Matt Patterson is a science teacher and he brought over so cool science experiments for us to see. He made some really cool bubbles with dry ice. He also made this mixture that the kids got to blow in with a straw and as they blew in it the color changed from blue to green to yellow. I love having awesome neighbors! Then it was on to trick-or-treating. It is so much fun to hear the trick or treaters come up to our porch. They all are so excited to see such a big pumpkin. The kids had fun trick-or-treating this year. Matt took the kids around. Hyrum and Walt were in the stroller. Cute Walter fell asleep. Hyrum couldn't wait to start eating candy. This year, Jane was a black cat, Eli was Buzz Lightyear, Hyrum was a dino and Walter was a duck. Happy Halloween and Happy October.
