Shamefully, I was out of film (and we don't have a digital camera, yet.) So I was at the mercy of my friends for some Halloween pictures. Kira looked quite the part as Cinderella in the dress that Lita made her, but was so busy having a good time at the ward party, that it was hard to get any pictures of her. If you can't tell, I am supposed to be the fairy godmother. I told everyone, that I was really just an accessory for Kira. Barry was supposed to be the Duke, but had to work out of town (surprise, surprise!) So he was off the hook. All in all, the kids and I went to three Halloween parties, went trick-or-treating, and came back and handed out candy. I think Kira liked handing out the treats as much as getting them. If there was ever a lull in trick-or-treaters, she would demand that more come.

Trenton got the hang of "trick-or-treating" at our ward party. After he filled his little sack he went and found Bro. Cluff. Brother Cluff is a man in our ward that is wheelchair bound. Trenton is fascinated by the wheels, so they have become good friends. He was standing by Bro. Cluff when he took out a bag of candy and set it on the ground beside him. I picked it up and put it back in the bag as he was walking away. Trenton stopped, took out a bag of candy, walked over to Bro. Cluff and set it on his lap and walked away.

There is an incredible amount of baby boys in our ward. One of my friends decided that we should just have one big birthday party (in October) in honor of them all, rather than worry about inviting friends to dozens of birthday parties. We invited all boys with birthdays from September to December to come. I think we had eight attend but could have had about double that if everyone eligible had attended. Trenton is the oldest and biggest of the group. Just wait for nursery in a few months!

"What are you crying about?" Trenton thinks as he looks at his friend. We stripped down the boys and let them attack the cake. Trenton was not the big bully everyone thought he would be (he's a good 4 inches taller than any of his friends) but enjoyed eating cake--especially the pieces that had dropped in the grass for some extra fiber!

We tried to get pictures of each boy and the whole group, but as you can see, Trenton was much more interested in getting up and going!
