Halloween/Piano Recital

Halloween was a busy time for our family this year.  The festivities started a few days earlier at school where I helped with the Halloween parade, Timmy's party and Brian's party.  Both boys decided to be Darth Vader.

On Halloween day we started off with a piano recital!  The boys did awesome!  Timmy wanted to be a pirate for his recital.

Right after the recital, while Mark worked on getting water to the field, I took the boys to our ward's Trunk-or-Treat. 

After Trunk-or-Treat we went Trick-or-Treating along our street and then we were all partied out and tired from a long day of work and play and way too much candy.  The boys were happy to go to bed and get a good night's rest while the one pumpkin Timmy and I carved glowed out on the porch.  Overall Halloween was fun, but I was reminded that it's just not my favorite holiday.  I was quite relieved when it was all over and I can focus on being thankful through November while I listen to Christmas music.
