Fall Festival

Our ward recently had a Fall Festival, they don't do a trunk or treat here but they had all kinds of games and a chili cook off. The kids had a ton of fun, running from one game to the next trying to get as much candy as they could. We all dressed up for the festival. There were no masks allowed so I did a little modification on my costume. Kurt & I always do our costume as a pair, so he was The Green Hornet and I am his sidekick Kato. If you haven't seen the movie The Green Hornet, I highly recommend it. We thought it was really good. Anyway, we are all superheroes this year. Alaina chose Supergirl all by herself, Emmitt chose Captain America, and Maddox is Thor. When I took the kids shopping for costumes I could not believe how expensive they were. It took a while to choose since alot of them were $40 for one!

Back to the Festival, I made a creamy white chicken chili for the chili cook off. I'm pretty sure it was a hit because it was gone FAST! I was bummed that they didn't announce winners effectively so I have no clue what place I got. Oh well. The kids also got their faces painted. Alaina got a black cat, and Emmitt got a spaceship. Maddox just had a blast throwing his hammer at Kurt all night long, lol. Which reminds me how talented my husband is, we realized we forgot to buy Maddox his Thor hammer about 10 mins before we had to leave for the party. So Kurt being the genius he is, made this one all by himself, using a milk carton and a foam sword. Ta Da! Amazing!
