THOMPSON'S Story book night

For those of you that don't know.... I love doing themed Halloween costumes with my family. Can you guess who we were? Little Red Riding Hood tale. The kids were in costume all day and we acted out the story a few times. It all started in August when Nixon found this werewolf costume. He wanted it so bad that he even earned money for it! Very cute! So... hmmm... what was I going to do with a werewolf? Big bad wolf close enough? My mom and I made Mazzy's hooded cape and Colin (Chris) was the wolf hunter, so I tried to pull off the grandma. Of course I leave my costume for last, so... it stunk! I would've gotten a wig and glasses if I didn't run out of time. I never think about mine until the day of. I'll do better next year. Actually, next yr. Colin is in charge of picking the theme! He wasn't too happy with the wolf hunter deal. I thought we looked cute -minus me- the pregnant grandma! You don't see that every day!


Auntie Shannah scored on some tickets to the Waldorf Pumpkin path. Of course they offer an alternative to Halloween and to everything else that is main stream. It was really neat. We learned a lot of different legends and saw some very pretty pixies and fairies, (Mazzy's favorite)!
The school really has such a magical environment. Maybe it was the incense in the air!



We headed off to our ward trunk-or-treat after Waldorf and did the cup cake walk and doughnut on the string. It was fun, just still trying to get comfortable in the new ward. Then, went around the neighborhood a tiny bit to meet some of the neighbors. Kids loved it! We had so much fun watching them be so brave at the doors. Even with dogs running out and grandpa's scaring them at the door. FUN NIGHT!

You and Chris look great, but the kids look adorable. I love the pregnant Grandma! Mazzy's red hood is so cute. Wish we could have gone with you door to door. Thanks for sharing the pictures.

What is with Colin? Is Chris changing his name??? Sounds like a fun Halloween- cute theme. Dan and I tried to pull off costumes at the last minute and both wished we had given it a few days of prep. Miss you guys! How are you feeling???

I love the red cape/hood!
Do you know what you are having yet? I get so excited about this stuff you know. I think almost everyone I know is pregnant!
Happy Halloween!

We've decided not to find out what we're having this time. I can't believe I actually did it! I remember -Stace- talking about the drain-o test... thought about it, but haven't done it.

Good for you! I told Abram if we ever dare go for #3 I don't want to find out what it is either. It seems like it would be fun to wait and also so hard. When are you due? You should post some pics of your new house for those of us who can't see it in person. :)
