Happy Halloween from Antartica (or wherever I am...)

So, it's freezing here... I'm starting to get a little scared that it's only November

 A couple wards combined their trunk-or-treat on Saturday night. It was very very fun for Spencer and I as we thought griffin was the most precious little thing to ever grace Halloween. Everything he did was cuter and cuter as the evening went on. emery and campbell were very polite and did not go too far ahead- a very successful night.

 Wearing his candy bag like a purse

 diving head first to check out his loot

 The next day the kids got on their costumes to go visit a few of our new neighbors and then hand out candy. emery raked this huge pile of leaves on Saturday so they ran through the pile before heading out.

 My little fairy who kept bopping me with her flower wand. She refers to herself as "Flowerpom"

 emery loved the sparkles and still wears the headband, jewelry and cape to fancy places like Target.

 ME:  "griffin... what are you wearing?"
griffin:   "dah"

 Every box becomes a toy here. We have a "canoe" in the backyard, a "playhouse" (that fits one person at a time) in the playroom and a "rocket ship" in their bedroom.

 I know the neighbors love us... for some reason we are the only ones ever outside in our backyards.

And this little girl peered out the window the whole night waiting for people to come get some candy. I kept making new rules about how much candy to give each person and she did great. campbell, on the other hand, took me very literally... I could hear her saying "OK... you're little so you only get one piece... you are bigger so you can have 2..."
