Ward Halloween Party

October 30, 2010

Tonight was the Ward's Halloween party at the Monica building. Typically every year the Monica Ward does a trunk or treat. There have always been enough cars and people willing to hand out gobs of candy but there have also been a few questionable characters that have joined the fun. Only they stole the fun and made it scary. This year the trunk or treat was done away with and we did something different. The party was inside the building and instead of decorated cars there were decorated classrooms. The kids walked around to different rooms, just like they would houses on the street, said, "trick or treat"(well most of them) and were given candy... without razor blades... like the good ole days. Caleb and Hannah loved it. Although when we got to Bro. Pitts room Hannah was scared because Bro. Pitts likes the "scary" Halloween decorations. You know the kind: The screaming banshee, floating ghost head and wall (literally a wall made out of black plastic) of glow in the dark macabre masks. Yikes. Good thing sweet Sister Nicholos room was right after. She sat in a nursing chair with a friendly witch hat and a smile on her face. Hannah was releived. Caleb on the other hand liked Brother Pitts room and wanted to investigate every decoration and know how everything worked. But he's funny because he is fascinated and terrified of ghosts at the same time. We let him watch a few Scooby -Doo episodes a month ago and he talked of nothing beside the no face zombie but he also wouldn't walk down the hall to go potty by himself. One day he paced around and around crying because he was scared to go the bathroom and had to go potty at the same time. We made it through and the following weeks but two new rules were introduced: NO Scooby-Doo and NO ghost anything. So far so good.















Alison was a witch and Jesus was a MAC computer. She must have put a spell on him because he couldn't keep his eyes off of her... or maybe it was because she looked Gorgeous.














After all the candy was passed out some kids ran around in circles screaming because their blood had turned to sugar and they didn't know what else to do. Others lined up together like they were addicts in a secret alley.














Caleb and a few other kids (including Hannah) chased/ran from the terrifying vacuum beast as it tried to suck up all the cupcake crumbs and smashed candy corn.
