This Is Halloween

So I was talking to my friend Coco the other day about my blog and she was making fun of how little I've actually posted on here in the past. It feels like I've written a lot more than I have! So...look at me go! Posting twice in a few weeks!

Ben and I decided to get in the Fall/Halloween spirit. and by that I mean we were invited to activities that required us to get in the spirit.

First, we went to a pumpkin patch/corn maze with our friends Sara and Corey. Pumpkin patches seem to be a lot harder to come by in the Texas area because it was like 35 minutes away and everyone and their dog was there! Although it was kind of a long drive and we didn't even get a pumpkin we had a good time! Really we just went for the photo op...

Oh yeah...they also had a few random animals you could look at. The llama was a favorite. 

On Friday night we got a text from our friends Ryan and Elizabeth inviting us over to carve the pumpkins they bought. Always happy to free load, we headed over. After a few google searches we found a picture of a jack-o-lantern we wanted to recreate. It wasn't until we finished that we realized we had created a portrait of Ben.

Isn't it the best pumpkin you've ever seen?!

On Saturday night we had our Ward Halloween activity. We were in charge of the "carnival games" for the kiddos. We were a little skeptical going in how this would work out. The games were just kind of there to help distract the kids while their parents ate and chatted. I was a little worried about our ability to wrangle 30 random kids, but we survived. We had three games between the two of us and I was sweating by the end. We didn't put too much effort into our costumes...Ben has Colorado Rapids shorts and a jersey so he went as a player and I went as his #1 fan. I mentioned our idea to Sara and they came as LA Galaxy fans because they had a game on Sunday. (The Galaxy beat us 1-0, but we have another chance to beat them this weekend.) 

So there you have it...just a quick update! It's 7:15 on Halloween night and we haven't had anyone knock on the door so I'm assuming we won't be getting any trick or treaters. Darn...guess we will have to eat this candy by ourselves....
