Mor Mor took the kids to the store to choose their pumpkins. (Thanks, Mom!) Peyton and Maryam each designed their jack-o-lanterns. Tobin and I did most of the carving for them. We made the jack-o-lanterns on the 22nd, and they were moldy long before Halloween. I guess I still am not used to the effects of warm weather on our poor pumpkins. Next year we will wait to carve our pumpkins until just a couple days before Halloween.
Peyton wanted to be Peter Pan and Maryam wanted to be Tinkerbell for Halloween. I had a momentary delusion that I would sew their costumes again this year. Then, the voice of reason and reality (Tobin) arrived. So we bought their costumes. I was quite glad not to have to sit at my sewing machine after about 7 months pregnant.
Natalie and Braden were the "Lost Boys" to Peyton and Maryam's Peter Pan and Tinkerbell. Initially, I hoped the babies would be born at the end of September and we could all attend the ward Trunk or Treat together. Since the babies weren't born until early October, the three of us stayed home while Tobin, Peyton, and Maryam attended the ward party. They had a great time! Maryam and her friends trick-or-treated through the building several times and ended up with a lot of candy. Peyton and his friend trick-or-treated once around the building and then decided they would rather spend the rest of the time playing together. Peyton was a little disappointed that he didn't have as much candy as his sister, but still stuck by his decision to play.
