Because of Hurricane Michael cleanup, our ward moved Trunk Or Treat to November 3rd. We had a blast dressing up again. Mr. Brown made this fabulous chili, super super good, and he complained that it wasn't hot enough. I'm glad that we were a bit late so that we had lots of it to take home and eat later. Mr. Brown designed and built this game for the trunk or treat: we hung treats on clothespins and kids had to jump and grab them with their mouth in order to get a treat. It was super cool! (After three jumps, we'd unpin it for them.) I thought it was fun to build together, and Mr. Brown was quite pleased with how his woodworking for the base crosses turned out. All in all a fun night.
We had our practice Thanksgiving dinner on 1 November, and had some trouble finding people to come. In the end our friends the Eddingtons came and brought empanadas (yum) and quinoa stuffing (also yum) and we made tamales and duck and turkey and beans with pumpkin in them. The tamales were a good beginning, and the beans were really good too! We had a couple other guests but they dind't bring food, just good company.
