The Creepy Crawly Candy Spidey Family

 For family night Monday night we did our annual "Spooking" our friends and neighbors FHE.  We added a fun craft to the goodie bags this year, a cute spider treat that I saw on display at church (I actually think it was something that they are doing for Super Saturday) it looked easy enough so I picked up the supplies after Matt and I's date night a few weeks back to put it into the plan.  I may have posted the poem we wrote in the years past but here it is: (We wanted a poem where the neighbors didn't feel obligated to reciprocate the "spooking" to others since many require you to do so.)  

YOU’VE BEEN SPOOKED

The Air is Crisp

The Season is Fall

Soon Halloween will come to All

The Ghosts are Out

The Gobblins Too

With many scary tricks to play on You

But don’t be frightened

Over this little Spook

For it’s not a cast or a Spell

It’s only to wish you All

A Happy Halloween and Well

Now take the Treats

Gobble them up Everyone

And remember on Halloween night

To be ever so safe and have so much Fun!!!!

As always the kids had a fun thrill with ringing the doorbells and running or hiding until the bags were picked up from the front porches and brought into the homes.  We finished the night off with a fun Halloween colored refreshment to set the tone for the month.  On a side note: notice Spencer with his gun he made from extra pipe cleaners...he's all boy and that's so him, anywhere we go he seems to make or find some sort of gun or weapon like thing to play with. He's not mean or destructive in any way with his toy weapons, he's a very well behaved little boy he loves to play with his action figures and army guys ect.  When we went to the Ocean notice the first thing he picked up...a piece of beach wood in the form of a gun, no wonder he has wanted to be a Cop (with a mustache) when he grows up since he was three years old, that's our Spencer!
