BOO-yah!

I hope everyone had a safe and happy Halloween and no one found any razor blades in their candy! We had a great time. We really like to make the most of our holidays so we had a Halloween week. We started things off last Saturday at our ward's Trunk or Treat. Anthony is on the Activities Committee so he was busy setting up and cleaning up and I painted faces with the Primary Presidency. It's a good thing I'm in school because I could never make it as a make-up artist. We dressed up as Michael "Squints" Palledorus and Wendy Peffercorn. What you can't tell from the picture is that I am wearing a swimsuit (the jacket was to enhance modesty and to keep me warm), my sunglasses were on the table, and Anthony pegged his pants.

Tuesday night Anthony went to a cornmaze with the ward youth. Our fun continued on Wednesday when we went to the Jones Pumpkin farm to find a pumpkin. Turns out the lady who owns the farm grew up in Brookline, MA. Anthony makes friends wherever he goes. Thursday night I baked pumpkin chocolate chip cookies and our traditional ghost cake (spice cake with cream cheese frosting).Friday (Halloween) we hung out with our friend Katie and her sweet daughter Lizzy--the cutest Snow White in town. Then we stopped by a party hosted by a one of Tony's fellow students in the I/O program. All in all we had a fun Halloween week.

*Bonus Material: So we re-watched the Sandlot to get ideas for our costumes. We did a google image search. Anyways, this is the guy who played Squints all grown up. Not exactly how we pictured him...
