Branch Fall Fest

The Branch held it's Halloween activity on Saturday evening.  The Relief Society was in charge and did a great job.  they put different activities and games in each room and the kids could go do each event and collect candy at it.  I sat at a booth where they could make thumbprint pumpkin pictures.  Callie brought her friend Sofia, and they manned a game.  Marian helped out at the face painting table.  Much fun was had by all.

On the way to the church.  Very excited.

Marian wore this sweet convict uniform, and Rylee was jelly... to match Delaney's Peanut butter side.

Marian at her booth.

She did an awesome job.

Callie and Sofia doing their thing.

Rylee got a great spiderweb on her cheek.

She loved it so much, she went back for a bat on the other cheek.

Delaney also wanted her face done.

She went with a ghost.

Marian wanted a full photo of her costume.  This is her "Before"

She had Morgan paint her face.

And here is the "After"! 

They had this amazing photo op set up.  So we took advantage. 

Spooky girls. 

 Peanut Butter and Jelly!

She loved that mustache.

A gaggle of silly girls.

 Did I mention how silly they are?!

Marian needed one final selfie before she took off the paint.

First Middle School Dance

My kids have typically been entirely uninterested in school dances.  However, that has changed this year.  Callie is in NJHS and that organization was in charge of the Halloween Dance.  Since Callie had to be involved and felt the need to support and attend, Delaney thought it might be fun.  Callie may have talked Delaney into it so Callie wouldn't be alone.

And they were not alone.  Most of the YW ended up going, so they had a crowd to hang out with.  And they said it was a good time.  I had given Callie a phone to call home if she needed to leave early.  She called to say she did not want to come home early!

Dressed and ready to go!

Levi photobombing this picture is the best thing ever!

Posing with Levi.

Callie tok pictures at the dance.  Delaney had fun.

Sisters selfie.

Very dark selfie with her friend!

Crazy Hair Day!

 It was Crazy Hair Day at school.  Rylee wanted to go wild, but I did not have enough time or creativity to make anything spectacular happen.  So we did silly ponytails.  Then I colored her hair green and purple in the front.  She was happy.

Homecoming

 Josh went to Homecoming.  He has a girlfriend named Leah that he went with, and a bunch of other friends.  They all went down to the Sea Wall for pre-dance photos.  Sunset is quite gorgeous over the water, but it sure doesn't make for good lighting when you want to see people's faces.

The Beach.... Again!

 Marian specifically asked to go to White Beach.  She wanted to walk out to the little rock islands.  So  we planned to go on Saturday. I woke up with an ugly headache, so Dan took 3 girls (Delaney didn't want to go) and off they went to play.  They had a very successful trip and had a marvelous time.  And Dan took these photos.
