Trunk or Treat

Tonight was our ward's Trunk or Treat. I am on the activities committee, so I got there early to help set up. It was a ton of fun, but after getting there early and running around in the HOT sun, I am sunburned and exhausted. There was lots of yummy chili and cornbread, and the ultimate- homemade root beer complete with lots of fog (dry ice). There were games and activities galore, trunk or treating, face painting, you name it. But, hands down, the #1 fave of every kid there: bounce houses. Those things never get old. And, best of all, they were loaned to us for FREE! How awesome is that? There were also some pretty cute costumes. Except for my kids. Being the un-cool mom that I am, I didn't let the kids wear theirs. I know, mean huh? But, I didn't want their costumes messed up, plus I found these groovy Halloween T-shirts that blinked. I, however did dress up. I made myself a pretty cool costume, and it only cost $1! The good news: I won a prize for most original costume, the bad: only 4 people knew what I was supposed to be. It was pretty funny to see people try and guess what I was. I am a tad disappointed though, I didn't think it was that hard to figure out. Oh well, I liked it. I did have a good time getting to socialize with people from church I don't know all that well. And, I got to see my friend Barbara from way back when and meet her kids. I am so glad the party went well, but I am also thankful it's over, 'cause I am worn out. I have a bubble bath and a new magazine waiting with my name on it.
