We had our "welcome to October" family party on Friday. It began with decorating!
We then pulled out our box of Halloween costumes to see what would fit. (Fingers crossed!)
Hallelujah! Merritt still wants to be Megatron, Grace still wants to be a princess, and Grant liked the pirate costume...and everything fits! (Minus having to roll up Grant's pant legs.) We are set!Next came the pumpkin harvest. We went out to the garden and each of the children picked the pumpkin they liked best.
They are all smiles...soon the pumpkins will be too!Then I made "cheater" donuts (it's just refrigerated biscut dough rolled out a bit and cut with my handy-dandy donut cutter, then fried and glazed - easy and cheap...next year I will try the real thing) and white cheddar popcorn...
And finally we all gathered downstairs for a "spooky" movie, which gave us all a good excuse to munch goodies and cuddle.
Welcome October, you wonderful month, you!

I love Halloween too!! It's my second favorite Holiday. My husband has been in TX for work since last week so I have to wait until this Monday to decorate! We just can't do it without him.
I love your decorations and I have to say I love Halloween too! You get to make all kinds of wonderful goodies, eat lots of candy and all for the wonderful holiday that is HALLOWEEN!
Looks like you and your family had such a great time. Can't wait to see the pumpkins when they get carved.
This is funny--for our annual welcoming in Halloween party(ie, priesthood conference night), I decided to try making homemade donuts for the first time. I did a recipe called "homemade krispy kremes" but they weren't anywhere close. After all of the mixing and rising, and cutting out and rising, and FRYING I decided I'm fine to just buy them next time...powdered of coarse. But we also ate homemade white cheddar popcorn with our donuts while watching our movie. Great minds think alike!
