I know, you're all thinking,'How can Halloween and religion be tied together?' I'll get to that. But first on to Halloween!! Tyler is wearing his Harley skull mask, which actually is pretty scary. I am Dorothy of course. I've been Dorothy since 1994. Classics never die. Stick with what works. Mason wanted to be a ghost "Just like on Charlie Brown with the two eyes cut out". Simple and easy. I did paint his face white to make him look ghost like. Natalie, of course is a princess. Cinderella this year. And the Dal Pal is a Utah State basketball player.
If you look close you can see the Utah State logo on the bottom of his runners. We had trunk or treat at the church followed by a chili and cornbread dinner. MMMM tasty! The kids got good candy this year. No gum ( I don't like gum) no junk candy like chewy gross, umm chewy gross candy. But lots of chocolate bars and licorice sticks. We went out Halloween night and got a few more treats to add to the stash. The hit of the night was the lady who handed out twisty straws. After that, the kids were done, wanting to go home and have a drink with their new straw. We've combined both buckets of candy into one big basket and are eating them at free will. MMMMM tasty treats! No one comes to our house for Halloween. To tired maybe to walk down the driveway- it's pretty long. Or because we live on the corner and there's no where to park. We did have my friend Ali stop by with her two cute girls and we gave them full size Canadian Crispy Crunch bars. It's like Butterfinger times 10! So, if you want a full on bar of good chocolate, take the time to come down the driveway!
And because I'm a mother, and mothers love their kids, I simply must share this story as I'm so proud of Mason I could burst right this very minute. He invited his friend Phoebe from first grade to the ward trunk or treat. She's not a member. After candy and dinner, they had games set up for the kids to play in the gym. Mason came up to me and said," Mom, when Phoebes done with her game can I take her out in the hallway and show her the pictures of Jesus?" Instant burst of proudness from everything in me! I said"Of course you can! What a great idea." I watched as she finished her game, Mason told her to follow him, and then watched the two of them walk out into the hallway where my son, my sweet 6 year old boy, took her around the whole church pointing out the pictures on the wall of Jesus and the Prophets.
Yes, I'm so proud I can hardly stand it! I had to share. I just had to. Now, on to Thanksgiving!

I love that boy of yours, what a good heart he has! Such a proud-mom moment. Gotta love those.
You guys all looked great that night! Honestly we drove by your house and had that very discussion...whether or not you get any trick-or-treaters. I guess we should have pulled in, eh? Glad you had a great Halloween.
You should be very proud! What a wonderful mamma & pappa you guys are! He had to learn it from somewhere. You have a great little man there!
Everyone looks great, Dorthy is always a hit! The kids look as cute as can be & Tyler...scary!
What an awesome thing for your little guy to do!!! A little missionary in training!
See...I knew that I should have sprung for the Maleficent costume. I've wanted it for years, and keep telling myself that it would work for year after year. Man, Beck....why don't I consult you on any and all life decisions?
What a cute and awesome story. And how great that kids just do that kind of stuff, I would have thought about it every which way....and probably ultimately decided that I'd offend someone. Kids are really great. And yours sound above average!
That is so awesome of Mason! I'm beaming with pride just to know him.
You guys all look great!
