Happy Halloween, a day late

We had a calm uneventful Halloween yesterday.  Our ward had a big trunk or treat with all three wards at the church on Friday night, which was great!  The weather was warmish and the kids were done quickly.  I took a picture of Eric and Peter.  Lucy was a vampire.

Ho Ho Ho Santa Claus

Andy didn't dress up and Emma taped smarties to her pants and called them "smarty pants".  Last night we had a few people trick or treat our house, but we turned the lights off and it was pretty quiet.  Eric went to the haunted house with his friend Tanner and Lucy went with the neighbor kids and did some trick or treating.  That was it for us this Halloween!

This is a side note.  My sister gave us a giant jar of jelly bellies.  All the good kinds get picked out and eaten and we had some left over that no one would eat.  So Andy decided to make a work of art out of them:

Here in Worland at all three elementary schools swimming is part of the curriculum.  Each grade has around 2 weeks of swimming lessons every year.  They bus takes them to the aquatic center during the school day and they swim swim swim!  Yesterday was the last day for Lucy's swimming and I went to watch her and take some pictures.  She loves the water, which is a first for our family, most of us could do without donning a bathing suit and trying not to drown!

Jack-O-lanterns and Happy Palmer Birthday

We had our pumpkin carving night and they all turned out cool!

State Marching Band

State Marching Band was this weekend and it started with 5 flag girls sleeping overnight at our house.  They spent the night curling their hair and watching chick flicks.  Andy wanted to join them and before I knew what was happening they were curling his hair!

Saturday morning Andy, Eric, Lucy, and Peter and I drove to Casper to watch them perform.  They did a great job!

Lucy and I took a selfie.  Peter's friend Ellie Durrant is photo bombing us in the background!

Andy's touchdown

Worland vs. Powell.  We lost 7-6, but played the best we have all season!  Andy made the touchdown, a great quarterback run to the goal!

He has 3 games left in the season.  His freshman team is looking a lot better than the first few games.  They are really learning to work together.  We are hoping for a win tomorrow against Lovell!

Go Warriors!
