Halloween time at the Salisbury's is always exciting because that means the beginning of the Holidays........it's so fun to see the kids faces when they come home from school and are so thrilled to see holiday decorations up in the house.
Monday night we had a fun FHE carving pumpkins and "Booing" neighbors with treats.....I must of bought a bad bunch of pumpkins because they all rotted days later. Only one made it to Halloween night. Drew still has not forgiven me for throwing away his mushy pumpkin!
On Friday we decided to do a family "spooky" dinner, watch a spooky movie, and camp in the back yard with dad. The kids loved it. Travis was in character the whole night, with a accent and all!
The Menu had: Wrapped Mummies (wrapped hotdogs), Cheesy Snails (alfredo shell noodles), witch fingers (string cheese), monster teeth (apples with almond slivers), dirty worms (gummy worms in chocolate pudding) and to drink: spider blood (rootbeer), pumpkin guts (orange soda), or Ghost mix (milk)
Camping in the backyard....as mom got the Cal King bed to herself.
My kids knew this was going to be a different Halloween since it was on Sunday. After alot of thinking Travis and I decided we wanted our kids to learn something since it was on the Sabbath. So after some fun family time they got to pass out the candy to all the neighbors and "give" rather than "take". It's hard when they are little to try and explain this to them, but they all had really good attitudes about it. Some of our sweet neighbors brought over treats early for the kids because they knew we honor Sunday. I thought that was so sweet. On Halloween Eve the kids went to our ward Trunk or Treat and got loads of candy.
Salisbury's ready for Trunk or Treat!

Loved your halloween bunch and your creative dinner and all. Although I missed the picture with you in your costume. But I bet that one is it's own post right?:)
I love that you can still sleep outside at night in CA. You would be washed away here now in WA. Your dinner was great. And I loved the Goth Girl Costume!
