I feel like we have been able to fit in many October activities just in the last six days. With all the different activities and all the candy we don't even need to go trick-or-treating tomorrow. I'm sure the kids won't agree with that though. 😆
Thursday October 24th
BOO at NDSU - There was a huge Trunk-or-Treat planned at NDSU where they used four different dorm complexes and had it open for the community to come and trick or treat there. Each building had around five floors with games and treats offered on each one. You could knock on the dorm rooms and the college students had candy to pass out. We only went in one of the four buildings and I can't imagine doing more than that because just with the one that we did we got so much candy. Even if this was the only activity that we did the kids wouldn't even need Halloween from this single night alone. There bags were so heavy and will need to be replaced next year because most of them were dragged on the ground by the time we done with how full they were. We had three pokemon, one unicorn and one superhero.

Playgroup Party - Every Friday we have a playgroup made up of moms from all three wards in the area. We all pitched in and threw a little Halloween party for the kids. Rylee was Wasp Girl again and Quinn chose her Ghost Spider costume.

The differences between the girls' sticker creation cracks me up.
Rylee's is on the left. Quinn's is on the right.

School Trunk or Treat - The kids had a trunk-or-treat at their elementary school with pizza served inside the school. The teachers had their cars decorated and the trunk or treat was set up for all the students which they loved. The only thing that we didn't understand until after we spent a very long time in the pizza line is that the pizza had a cost that many people weren't aware of. Because of our costumes we didn't even have our wallet on us so we all got in the car after and picked up McDonald's which the kids of course really loved. Danny, Addie, Rylee and I all dressed up as superheroes, the boys were Pokemon and Quinn was a unicorn.

Mecham Benefit - There was a family that used to live here in Fargo and was well known in our Fargo Stake who just experienced a tragedy. A young wife lost her husband in a biking accident and is now a single mom taking care of her really young girls. A lot of members from our church hosted a benefit fundraising event to help them during this time of need. We didn't personally know this family but wanted to show our support especially to our friends who were all in charge of the event. The kids were able to do so much. They had so much food, games, bouncy houses, and activities. It was an event created because of a terrible and sad thing but the whole celebration felt so happy. The mom and her kids were back in Fargo for this and our girls played with their little girl. Seeing how much love and support the community was showing this family was really cool. I only have these pictures of Rylee and Quinn as the older three were off in different areas of this massive backyard. I also have videos of all the kids going down a zipline that was connected to a giant tree house they had. This backyard would be anyone's heaven on earth.

Church Trunk-or-Treat - We had so much fun at the church trunk-or-treat. They had a full dinner for everyone, then we went outside for the trunk-or-treat between all three wards. Danny passed out candy at our vehicle, while I walked around with Grant and the twins. I got so many people asking if they were triplets which I'm surprised that Grant really liked that. Addie and Hudson found friends to walk around with. We all dressed up as a superhero family. This is the only picture I took of the whole night and it's not even of any of us. Everyone started doing line dances so I quickly took a picture as we were walking out because we had to get home to put the kids to bed.
