People still loved it.
Some kids still cowered away.
One cute little 3 year old Buzz Lightyear kept coming back to show his mom for the tenth time the scary skeleton. Danny laughed the last time he came and the Buzz backed-up a step and said to him mom: "mom, the skeleton is laughing at me."
We didn't know how to respond.
(The front and backs are painted--but we didn't get a picture of the backs)
Th trunk-or-treat was a lot of fun, Danny's 11-year-olds LOVED his costume and came back many times just to hang around their awesome teacher. And yes--the baby was a hit. It made me not-so-scary.
Nicole and Linda arrived in time for the chili cook-off and trunk-or-treat. They helped us decorate our car with pumpkins (Jack--the pumpkin king).
Saturday we headed off to Orlando. Danny and I used our Give-a-day Disney tickets and went to the Magic Kingdom. We had a wonderful time just taking it slow, riding a few rides, eating ice cream, and watching fireworks. My feet have yet to be as swollen as they were that night. My review--Disneyland is better,and yes Disneyland and Magic Kingdom are different.
(I look like I have a huge gut--promise there is a baby in there--week 35)
Nicole and Linda went to Harry Potter Land. For those who want a review: it is better at night with all the lights, it is small, had REALLY long lines (just to get into the stores), but was worth it for the one cool ride and butter beer.
Sunday we had the missionaries over for Halloween dinner. It was fun to have a little group over--first time! It was Sister Johnson's last dinner--she had p-day on Monday and then went home on Tuesday! We will miss her, but are excited to meet the new sister tomorrow.
Monday I received my first Florida sunburn. Because of my (and Danny's) very sun sensitive skin, I have been very careful to always use sunscreen and to go out later in the evenings as to not get burned. For some reason, being with college friends again (or just being pregnant)--all my wits left me and I forgot the sunscreen AND we went out at one in the afternoon. We did had a great time at the beach. I only went into the waves for a few minutes as I have no sense of balance right now--and the smallest wave knocks me over. But it was beautiful.
Having people we know stay with us was wonderful. It was great to have familiar faces so close for a few days. I have such awesome friends!

You guys look awesome, as usual. :)
And I can't even begin to tell you how much Eric and I LOVE your shirt, Kristi!!! That is so funny! And cute! If I'm visibly pregnant over Halloween again I NEED you to make me one of those shirts. NEED. It's so awesome.
I'm glad you guys could have friends in town to celebrate with - how fun! Your review of Disneyworld goes along with what I've heard from a lot of people - that Disneyland is better. Hmmm... we'll have to see. Elena was sitting on my lap and saw the picture of you guys at Disneyworld and she said, "I want to fly on a plane and go see Danny and Kristi at the castle." :)
For some reason this most totally made me miss you guys. Come back. Just come back to us. Kristi- you are totally about to pop! It's actually pretty good that we don't pop. Dangerous. The way we do do it seems dangerous too though... ANYHOW. Your costumes are amazing! I love them. And, yes, that baby skeleton is just about the coolest thing I've ever seen. I am so so excited for the delivery. I wish I could be there. I mean, right after:). I'd let you deliver first. It's so amazing. Nothing to compare it to. Your Jackson is so lucky to have the two of you. Alright, alright. I love you. Bye.
Love this post, Kristi. Your voice comes straight through that writing of yours and I can see your gestures as you list the things you loved about Orlando and Halloween. Good luck w/ the last 5 weeks! :0)
you guys look great, and i would expect nothing less! if you two ever don't go all out for halloween i'm going to be very disillusioned. love that jack, the pumpkin king, had a costume too.
miss you guys lots and lots, but i am glad you are having fun.
This SO makes me miss you! Wow! You need to be here, or I need to be there, but we just need to be together! The costumes are beyond awesome--of course! You should enter a costume competition. And Kristi, YOU REALLY ARE PREGNANT!!!! I can't believe it!!! Jack is almost here. Wow. You're almost to "anytime" time. Is your mom still planning to come and help?
I'm glad you're having such a wonderful time.
Love you!
I hope Elena says that exact thing at make a wish!!!
Danny misses his little girls.
Kristi-you're hugely cute. Maybe you should hang onto that prego costume...to let me borrow. I am with child.
Love you two!
JK, not prego yet.
