The end of October was quite crazy with a lot of stuff going on. My good friends Cami and Jann came here to Denver so we could go to the So You Think You Can Dance concert together and it was so fun. I loved having them here and the concert was awesome. (Hopefully I'll cover this better in a separate post once I get/steal some pics from Cami and Jann.) Then I hosted a book club, helped with our ward's Trunk or Treat, and then hosted a murder mystery couples party with the ladies from my former primary presidency and their husbands. It was our second murder mystery party as a group and it was hilarious! The costumes were great this year. I was a gothic novelist, Connika Gothica!, (do you think I was type-casted?) so I got to wear a red and black wig and do some Cleopatra/Siouxie and the Banshees eyes. Nice. Adrian was more sedately dressed as a lawyer. It was a fun night!
For Halloween I went to Ben's and Nina's class parties, which was a lot of fun. We had our traditional chili dinner and Ben and Nina trick or treated with Adrian, while Sophie for the first time trick or treated with friends. She is getting so old! Oh I need to talk about costumes... Adrian and I only dressed up for the Trunk or Treat and we were Arthur and the Killer Bunny from Monty Python and the Holy Grail (reusing costumes from 6 years ago). We won the "Nerdiest Costume" award. Awesome. Sophie was Katniss from The Hunger Games (a seriously easy costume and she loved it). Ben was Draco Malfoy for the 2nd year - he loves being Draco and I am all for reusing costumes! Nina was a witch and if you asked her what kind of witch she was she said she was a bad witch. Ha! While the kids trick or treated I passed out candy - one of my favorite parts of Halloween. I love seeing all the little cuties in their adorable costumes. In between answering the door I watched Twilight on TV (not exactly scary, but Halloweeny) and munched on candy. I need to learn to resist fun size candy bars. They are my weakness. The kids all came home happy and tired and we watched Scared Shrekless together while they enjoyed their candy. I love Halloween! Hope your Halloween was great!
