Early Halloween

Yesterday we celebrated Halloween!  We kicked it all off by waking up at 6:45am to pick up our Bountiful Basket!  Ha, but really, that's how our day started.  Then we bought bagels at Einstein Bagels for David's Tau Beta Pi (Engineering Honor Society) Trick-or-Can activity.  When we finally got to eat them 2 hours later, they were so delicious we decided if we ever work in the food industry, it will be at Einstein so we can bring home lots of free bagels.

For the Trick-or-Can we collected canned food at the student housing just south of campus.  We quickly decided that was not the best idea for two reasons: 1) students aren't awake at 9:30am on a Saturday morning and 2) they don't own any canned food (I guess they haven't figured out how cheap it is, and they have no year supply yet, which would be FULL of canned food).  Anyways, we had little success, but it was still fun.

Later in the day we went to the women's soccer game, which BYU won 5-0.  Then we went to our ward's Trunk-or-Treat/Halloween party. That was sooooo fun!  We were too cheap to buy real trunk decorations, so we used newspaper.  And, we are already over on our food budget so we couldn't buy candy and instead handed out Snickerdoodles and Vermont Molasses cookies (which turned out to go well with my costume of Little Red Riding Hood)!  I got to carry the cookies in my basket to hand them out.

David bought his wolf mask on Amazon and I sewed my red hooded cloak.  We were pretty excited about our Halloween costumes!

Also at the party we had apple pie and hot cocoa.  Amazingly, I won the "Guess How Many Candy Corn Are In This Can" contest (I've NEVER won one of those before, and I LOVE candy corn), and David almost won the "Doughnut Eating Contest" where you had to be the first to finish eating your doughnut off a string.

It was a great "Halloween!"
