Church Trunk or Treat and Carnival

Our ward put on a GIANT tri-ward carnival and trunk or treat for Halloween Eve this year. Thank you Tara Shumaker for an awesome time. Everything was fantastic, and we enjoyed ourselves immensely. It was truly a big deal.
We started with some scratch and draw spooky animals, and then moved on to decorate sugar cookies.

While we failed at our first attempt at the cupcake walk, my favorite moment of the night was walking in and standing on a number right when the music stopped. Instant winners. My son loved the cupcakes. Too bad he only could pick one.

There was a lollipop pick, and a bean bag toss. Very cute.

There was a Velcro ball toss, and a treasure in a haystack dig (which Mac was thrilled with)

What kid can't get enough of face painting? My son, Malcolm. Aubrey Jocelyn was so good, and between the two ladies at church who wanted to hold her at a couple different moments, she was the belle of the ball. She absolutely loved being in the midst of all the social hubbub.


Of course we were at the bounce house every time we passed it.

Did I mention that there were two other Buzz Lightyears? Every time we passed "Space men" or "Mario or Luigi" Malcolm would try to grab them and claim them as his. These are definitely big players in his world, and I don't the Mario appreciated being grabbed, but he LOVED seeing these guys there. It's too bad that he was scared to death of the mummy and grim reapers.

And I can't forget the actual trunk or treating.

The favorite haul of the night was actually a glow stick. Forget the candy.

The night was a definite Success.
