Halloween Rush!

Wow! Halloween sneaked up on us this year, but it was tons of fun! Travis and I have been trying to decide what to dress up as, and it wasn't until the day before Halloween that we finally decided. During lunch that day, I noticed one of the art teachers had dressed up as Peter Pan, and it didn't look too hard to put the costume together. So, we ended up going as Peter Pan and Tinkerbell (Travis was Peter Pan, I was Tinkerbell...just to clear up any confusion...).

Right after school, I dashed to Travis's parents house to see if they had anything with which I could piece together the ensemble. Then, it was off to Savers where I got 2 green shirts I could cut up, and a green bed sheet I could use to make a skirt for myself.

We were a hit at the ward Halloween party, and although Travis got comments such as, "Hey, where's the tights?" it was a lot of fun!

We then went to Rob and Kim's house where we made and decorated sugar cookies, and watched a scary movie. We especially liked how Robert had cleverly carved the symbol of pi on his pumpkin. "Get it? Pumpkin Pi!" He also showed Travis this really funny clip (or is it only funny to engineers?). Here it is, Travis was almost on the floor, he was laughing so hard!

On Halloween, we continued the celebration by going to Pirates Island with Travis's family for a yummy pizza dinner, and fun at the arcade. We were also able to stop by my parents' house and enjoy homemade root beer, served with orange and raspberry rolls. Scrumptious! Who needs candy when you got that?

We hope you all had a safe and happy (and spooky!) Halloween!
