Its a Carnival

Our ward Halloween carnival is always such a huge hit! There was a huge turnout, good food, fun games to play and I love to see the costumes that everyone chooses. Some families all choose a theme (cavemen, superheroes)) I love to see them and even the parents get into it, there is no way I could get my husband to do that - the matching 4th of July T-shirt every few years just about puts him over the edge! Chads seems to get the job each year of being a judge for the chilli cookoff, I love it because then he tells me which one he thinks I will like.


Each auxiliary and then group within the auxiliary put on and work a booth. Hayley got to work the face painting booth which was very popular.

They set up the coolest photo taking station each year - here are my kids in their Halloween costumes '08! The nerd, power ranger, escaped convict and candy corn.

This is the 2nd year in a row that Jack and Luke have matched and they love it - Go Go Power Rangers!

Trent and Devin had no idea that the other was dressing up like a nerd-we got a kick out of them showing up the same as each other. The running joke of the night was that they didnt dress up at all. They were playing round with these decorations at the end and just had to have their picture taken.

Hayley and Claire won the costume for most creative - they were escaped convicts and looked really cute. They were both attacked by some stamps and then enjoyed using the face paint to decorate each other and their arms and legs.

This picture is posted for Hayleys friends who like to steal the pictures off my blog - Your Welcome!
