Halloween 2014

This Halloween week started with getting the long-awaited new coat of paint on the house. It doesn't look a lot different but it is a little darker brown. The color has the inspiring name of 'Bleeker Beige'.

The picture below was the best I could find as a 'before' shot.

While driving to work on Wednesday, I heard the sound of  a rock hitting my windshield. I couldn't see any damage but when I went out to get in the truck at the end of the work day, a 12 inch long crack was in the windshield. That was repaired on Friday during the day.

That night was Halloween. Apparently one of the TV stations told everyone to go to Seven Falls Drive in Copper Creek. We had cars parked all over.

Felicia dressed up like Mini Mouse.

Snoopy is featured prominently in our decorations.

We had lots of candy but were completely out by 7:30 pm. We walked over to the Andrews to see what was happening. There was a lot of people. Larry's latest thing was adding unliving portraits that would transform.

This weekend was Stake Conference. Pres. Polley challenged us to do 3 things on Saturday night based on his prayers for what was important for our Stake.
1) Raise your family in prayer and faith in Christ.
2) Avoid temptations of immorality
3) Put money aside for difficult times ahead.

He challenged us to more stuff regarding genealogy and temple work on Sunday.
