Halloween is finally over! Halle-freakin-lujah

Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays but when you have an already hyper and busy little redhead and pump her full of sugar you learn to hate Halloween real quick. With the ward trick or treat, the outdoors mall Halloween extravaganza and then the normal trick or treating one tends to get a sugar overload. Ken was three different things this year; Dorothy (from Wizard of Oz) while we were in Utah, Fancy Nancy for the ward thing and then last minute she decided she wanted to be Snow White from two Halloweens ago for regular trick or treating.

Above is our posh little puppy in her poodle costume and below is Kennedy and Holden at the mall extravaganza. Holden was a monkey but everyone thought he was a lion...either way he was dang cute!

A little free face painting for Ms. Snow White.

Just a side note: I have been working with Kennedy on her personal prayers so after we do a family prayer I take her to her room to do her own. One was particularly cute today. "Heavenly Father I had a hard day today. I got really mad when Audra wanted to use all my ponies so I yelled at her and then I threw stuff. Please help me to use my words next time I get mad at Audra." Funny and totally melted my heart.

I am loving that prayer. I am just trying to get our boy to stop blessing the prophet, Thomas the train.

Oh my goodness, your girls are adorable! I'm glad that you're blogging about all those funny comments, because one day Kennedy will read your blog and die laughing at the things she said and did. Blogs are so much more fun than journals ever thought of being!

That li'l prayer is the cutest thing I've ever heard! Adorable. Reminds me of Isabel yelling at Milo, me saying "You know what you need to do now." (meaning she needed to apologize), and her saying "UGH! REEEE-PENT!". I nearly died. That all went down in the lobby of a very busy oil change shop. So funny.

Darn kids say the darnedest things.

I second the hallelujah that Halloween is over!

What with multiple costumes and multiple parties I can imagine why you are glad it is over. Your kids looked darling though. Love the monkey (although I thought it was a lion too ... haha)
