halloween



Trunk or Treat
As our wards activity committee chair I was in charge of putting on
churches trunk or treat.  It turned out great- but man was I exhausted
We teamed up with the other ward who shares our building for this event
(unfortunately their chair showed in the middle of dinner for a few min- so it 
turned into our ward putting on an event for their ward- ok enough complaining
i'm a little bitter on being the pregnant lady stuck with allllll the work!)
but it was a lot of fun- we kicked it off with a chili cookoff for dinner.  We had enough
chili for an army.  Troy and I will be eating chili a lot this week I guess. 
Then we had carnival games for the kids, and finally the trunk or treat.  





this is what a cold ninja turtle looks like...



And then we also headed to our neighborhood  party.  They had crafts and food and 
the kids favorite was a little geo cashing event.  they had hidden some boxes around the woods 
and the kids could pick something out of a box, but had to also leave something behind.
one kids treasure is anothers discard!  love it.

the ninja can't be bothered. 


*so it may seem that there are a lot of pictures with only my kids.  I have to laugh because 
we just don't know enough people to take pictures with any of them.  It feels weird to have your kid 
pose with a kid they barely know, after being with kids they knew for 5 years. 
so i am sure one of these days we will again have others in our posts.... one of these days :)  for the time being- this really is braders and camers blog I guess!

Sounds very familiar, but you got to do yours outside, so that is awesome. It is so weird to move after feeling at home somewhere!

You know how to throw a party! That looks like so much work-especially when you are PREGNANT!!! Way to go! Their costumes are ADORABLE! :)

You did a great job, especially for being thrown into this calling right at the height of our activities. And let's say with little to no help. Our committee is a little lacking in numbers. I'm impressed with the pictures you got of your kids that night, they turned out great!

Your activity was so much fun! Thank you for all of the work that you put into making our ward activities a big success.
