halloween week

Last week was so much fun, but busy busy busy!!

We started the week off with our church trunk-or-treat on Tuesday night. Emily and Addie dressed as Little Bo Peep and a sheep, and Grant and I went as Jack and Jill to stick with the nursery rhyme theme. We had so much fun! Emily did a great job overcoming her shyness to tell everyone "trick-or-treat" and Addie loved passing out candy!

I was lucky enough to teach preschool this week so we got to do a lot of fun halloween-themed activities (and I forgot to take pictures of most of them!) We do 2 days a week, so they came dressed up on the 2nd day. So fun!

While the week was filled with fun, it also had some heartache, as some of our very best friends moved away :( The Hawkins moved into the same neighborhood and ward as us within the same month that we did. We've been close since then and our kids are best friends! We're going to miss them so much and I'm especially going to miss our morning walks, where Kendra and I would solve the world's problems together ;) They stayed with my parents while they were between homes, so I hung out there for a lot of the week so we could enjoy the last few days before they left. The day before they moved, we checked off the last thing on Kendra's Houston bucket list by going to get gelato at a place with really cool graffiti on the side :) It still hasn't sunk in to Emily that Erick is gone for good, but I can't let myself think about it too much :( We miss you!!

we told them to say goodbye and they kept chasing each other saying "hugs!"

On Halloween day, we finally carved and painted our pumpkins! Emily decided on one of her other dress-ups for trick-or-treating and went as Doc McStuffins. She had so much fun and I was amazed at how brave she was going up to everyone by herself to get candy! She was wiped out by the end and fell asleep before we got home!

Hope everyone had a happy Halloween! This year is going by so fast!!
