Soccer Halloween Scrimmage

Tonight, Mallory and Hayley's Soccer team- Utah United, had a little scrimmage with another team. Everyone was decked out in their Halloween costumes with cleats and shin guards. Mallory went dressed as a candy corn witch and Hayley a ballerina with a black, hot pink and purple tutu. (Mallory kept her pointed hat at home.) It was such a fun night! They had a huge photo session first with the opposing team before the scrimmage (I hope I can get a hold of a few of the pictures since my cell phone while it was getting dark wasn't the best.). The girls had a great time! Our team played exceptionally well and the girls had fun in the process--just how soccer is supposed to be!

 Eating cupcakes and posing for pictures!

After the scrimmage, Mallory and Hayley invited several girls over to our home to "hang out" for two hours. We found them all something to eat and they had a great time together. We are very, very grateful that our girls have such GOOD friends! We couldn't ask for better!

Halloween 2010

Halloween was pretty laid back this year since we celebrated it on Saturday. The girls only had to dress up once (Mallory and Hayley's school doesn't celebrate Halloween at school) which was sooo nice!!

First, we had a Ward Halloween dinner at 4:00 p.m. with Soups, Chili's and Rolls. There were a lot of people there which was great. After we ate, they had a Children's Parade and we were done (no Trunk or Treat this year!!!).

Then we came home and had the girls WAIT until the first Trick or Treaters came to our door!! They were impatient little souls because they were asking every two seconds if they could leave. Finally, after our doorbell rang for the first time, Scott took the girls out!! Mallory and Hayley could have been trick or treating forever but Brittney got tired really quick. Scott took them around the two main blocks in our neighborhood and they all came in with plenty of candy.

After they got home, they all dumped out their stashes and sat there and sorted and traded with one another (just like I used to do when I was a little girl).
