Halloween 2011

 I suddenly realized this morning that I had never posted our pictures from Halloween. So Halloween 2011!! The kids had a fun year. First, we got to attend a Halloween party in the Erlangen ward. We brought some halloween candy that we had bought on base to share with everybody. When we got there Ty was freaking out because he didn't want to wear his Dash from The Incredibles costume because it had built-in muscles. Him and I talked for a while, while Ben, Laney and Nyah went downstairs to check out the party. Finally I got Ty to go down with me even though he was hiding behind me. Ben had just barely put our halloween candy in one of the bowls but when I got down there's was nothing left. There are a couple of American families in the Erlangen ward and they were so excited to see american candy that they haven't been able to get for a while now. Ben told me that he dumped it in and then immediately there was a big herd of people around the bowl and then it was all gone. Seriously!! It was pretty funny and we felt bad that we hadn't brought any more american candy. Ty eventually thawed out (hahaha i think that's probably only an expression you can use in Danish...oh well!) and had a lot of fun making cute crafts and stuff. We had a great time. Thanks Erlangen Ward!! :D

The next day we went to our ward's Trunk 'n' Treat. The kids were of course shy at first and they wanted me to walk around to the cars with them. But they found their courage rather quickly and had a lot of fun running around filling up their bags with candy. Oh and Ty by the way wore his a.w.e.s.o.m.e. mole costume and brought his mole hole along. Ben was Flynn Rider and was a big hit with all the little girls. So much so that some of the little girls still call him Flynn Rider and wave to him when they see him at the pharmacy. Unfortunately, he's playing Flynn Rider AFTER his smolder breaks in the movie. :D Laney is Violet from The Incredibles and Nyah was a cute little baby owl.

Cheese!!

The mole and Violet enjoying some hot chocolate and doughnuts. Yum!

On Halloween Ben took the kids to Netzaberg (the little town where the american military school is and a lot of military housing). The kids got A LOT of candy and have been enjoying it ever since. It's kind of funny because normally Laney is the one who is very good at saving her candy and takes forever to eat it but this year it has been Ty. Laney finished hers in about a week but Ty still has a bunch left. I might have to secretly take it one of these days and just get rid of it. He might have forgotten that he still has some.
