Halloween Preparation

We had our traditional "Get Ready for Halloween" night last night. Karen came over for dinner and Family Home Evening. We had a lesson on service, with a follow-up on Karen's humanitarian trip to Mexico. The kids LOVED the pictures she brought back of the kids who received our care packages. We also used Google Earth to find out where in Mexico they were. After the lesson, we did a scavenger hunt that Karen brought and set-up. The kids solved clues to find pieces of a skeletong named Dead Fred. It was cute, especially Braden's answer to one of the riddles. It rhymed... "It's Dead Fred.... you get up in the morning and make your......." Braden's answer was Breakfast. We then carved pumpkins. I will have to get pictures up soon. Emma did Charlie Brown and Braden did Snoopy. I was working on Bert and Ernie. Adam and Karen did a classic pumpkin.
