Halloween Festivities

Wow, Yesterday was a busy day of parties for little McKinley. It started in the morning over at Brailee's house. They made pumpkin pictures, decorated little pumpkins, made cookies, and read Halloween stories. McKinley could not wait for Oliver to come home so she could show him all of her projects. Later in the afternoon we headed over to a Neighbors house for another Halloween party. At this party she decorated cupcakes, made ghost, colored, and had fun swinging at the pinata-collecting even more candy. Then last night our family headed over to the legacy center for their Halloween Extravaganza. We had fun Trick or Treating around the track, which they had turned into a little spook alley. After trick or treating we went and ate sloppy joes while we watched Monsters and Aliens on a ginormous screen they set up. McKinley loved watching the movie. We were all exhausted after a long, but enjoyable day!

Here McKinley is painting her pumpkin with marshmallows on sticks.

HaLLowEEn PArtY!

Last night we went to a couple of Halloween parties. First we went over to Cameron and Laura's ward trunk or treat. The kids loved going car to car collecting candy. Dillon's costume was the best because it was a little small so he had a perma weggie.....I should have gotten a picture-maybe on Halloween night. After the trunk or treat we headed over to our ward Halloween Party. There were tacos, face painting, a fishing pond, tug-o-war, and a little spook alley. There was a great time had by all!

Our ward made a music video for a stake activity. They tried to replicate the video Love Me Tender off of You tube (which is labeled the worst video). This was Oliver's AWESOME costume!

Magic word...

So yesterday morning I was eating breakfast and McKinley asked for a bite of my food. I asked, "What is the magic word?" and
McKinley answered, "Misca Musca Mickey Mouse."
Oliver and I started laughing so hard. Oliver said, "So, I guess that is the new magic word!"
I love my little munchkin!
