Nathan, Hyrum and I put together some Booing kits to surprise our neighbors with. We specifically chose one family with children with extreme food allergies and another family that has a child on a specific diet due to epilepsy. It was a challenge coming up with items that could be fun and tasty.
Apple juice mummies, mandarin pumpkins, and homemade salt dough monsters.

Charlie jumped up on the seat and whimpered his request to go with me as I was loading my bags for a personal trip to Utah. Sorry Bud, it's a sisters weekend.
Kara, Kate, Kathy and I spent a fun night at Witchapalooza music dinner theater dressed up as witches; eating a delicious dinner and laughing through the hilariously entertaining musical production of the The Lyin', The Witch and The Warlock.

The fruits of last year's explosive Thanksgiving labors were in full bloom by July. While killing weeds along the ditch bank we found 7 pumpkins plants, one of which had enough blossoms to provide us with Halloween jack-o-lanterns for this year, which we will most likely blow up to perpetuate the pumpkin cycle. Redneck farming at its best.
With a few tips from Levi and a drill added to our carving tools we came up with some pretty sweet designs.
My personal favorite was Erika's pregnant pumpkin.

Erika made a a very mummy dinner for us!
She went all out with her makeup skills trying to win the costume contest at work. The picture looks gross but in real life it looks like real wounds! I don't think I would have recognized my zombie daughter if I had seen her on the street.
Her other costume for work was our favorite. Again, with amazing makeup talent.
Hyrum was so excited to be Batman just like Bret.
Nathan combined several costumes into one and was very satisfied with the result.
Daymia and Levi dressed up as . . . themselves?
The best part about Levi's costume is that he found those pants at DI. They look like they were made just for that costume.

Nathan: "Do you notice anything different? I cut my mole hair."
Hyrum: "When I have a good idea, my brain actually says 'blink'."
Hyrum: "Sometimes when I'm supposed to be sleeping I'm just thinking of things to build."
Kimber: "The weekend is always my weak end."
Erika: "This baby girl likes to do gymnastics when I'm supposed to be sleeping."
Charlie will go out 8-10 times a day to sit on the back porch, facing the neighbors house, looking for his girlfriend, Roxie. One day I heard him whining and went looking for him to see what trouble he was in. He was actually on the neighbors back porch whining for Roxie to come out. Another day, Roxie was sitting near our back door barking for Charlie to come out and play. Hyrum informed me that he has married them. He even held a ceremony, "but they wouldn't hold still and they didn't kiss at the end".
