This is the story of 3 sparkly ballerinas and 1 strong, RED power Ranger with church shoes and no mask, and their Halloween season 2009.
For FHE we painted pumpkins in our PJs! We should have done it before bath time, but mom & dad got a little excited after 'fall back', we were hoping to get the kids in bed an hour earlier than normal.
Ainsley and I shared a pumpkin, she painted a little on the pumpkin and a lot on herself.
Sydnie insisted she be there for her Kindergarten Halloween program, even though she had been up all night with an ear infection. Sydnie memorized and recited her part perfectly, "T is for trick or treating, U is for ugly masks", all while in great pain and on lots of medicine.

Halloween day was mostly spent at the church setting up for the ward Halloween party that Jason is in charge of. We set up lots of tables, hundreds of chairs, stretched miles of spider webs over the tables (which were later choked on by kids who got their cookies or forks stuck in them), cut out pumpkins and shapes to glue on the pumpkins to make paper jack o lanterns, baked a hundred cookies and stirred up a huge pot of yummy cheesy potato soup! In the spare moments here and there I was trying to prepare my YW lesson on drug abuse... yeah, really inspiring. I have to say that the kids were real troopers helping all day, but by the time we were ready to party they were done, D. O. N. E.

Sparkly Ballerina Sydnie, when she asks if you saw the picture of her on Halloween please tell her, "YES, you did have lots of beautiful sparkles on your hair and face and clothes!" And, "NO, your mom didn't use the rest of the sparkles on Amelia."
Ballerina Amelia, who started the sparkly ballerina craze at our house this year.
Here are the thrilled little spooks right before trick or treating, 3 sparkly ballerinas and one strong RED power ranger with church shoes and no mask.
I do not LOVE HALLOWEEN!!!
