At the last moment Spencer decided to be a cowboy instead of Spider Man and that left a vacancy for Luke to fill, (It is too bad because I borrowed this great chicken costume for Luke from my mom. I think it was too small though.), and Benjamin made an adorable little duck. Grandma and Grandpa Higginson came up for a visit the week of Halloween. What a great treat for all of us. Off we go to the trunk or treat at our church. This is Spencer with his friend Ashton. They served hot chocolate to help keep us all warm, but turns out it wasn't even cold (note Spencer's tee shirt and shorts).
On ambitious trunk host made a haunted house for the kids to go through. That's it. We then went home and called it a night.

Cute. Did grandma and grandpa go to the trunk or treat? Cute boys! Nice to have a long visit from the grandparents. Love ya!!
first of all, wouldn't spencer be in a tee shirt and shorts no matter what the temperature was outside? :) now... the photos were so cute. i really love seeing the kids dressed up. i am glad dad and mom got to be up there to enjoy with you guys. thanks for sharing. love you.
Looks like a fun Halloween? How funny that Dad and Mom went to the Trunk or Treat, but not surprising that they stayed in the van. Halloween has never really been their thing. I wonder where some of the rest of us got our attitude toward Halloween. Oh well. Love you!
We are the Higginsons. We hope to use our blog as a way to share our lives with our family and friends.

Quotes from the Kids...
*Lila: "Can we have cake for dinner?"
Kristi: "No"
Lila: "Why it's so fun?"
*"Smokin'" is Lila's new favorite adjective. "You got me smokin' wet." or "Whoa, that was smokin' cold."
*Benny: "I said a prayer about where I would go on my mission, and I kind of heard a little voice, or maybe I was just thinking it. I heard a voice that maybe I will go to Japanese, but maybe I just thought it."
*Benny: "I'm bigger than four now because I ate blockery." 'Blockery' translated is 'broccoli'.
*Kristi: "Benny, why are you washing your apple?" Benny: "To make it juicy!" Spencer: "Benny, that only works with gum!"
*Benny:"One time I had a fever and mom feeled it and it was warm." Spencer:"Did she give you medicine?" Benny:"Yeah, but I thinked I could keep it because it was warm."
*"I love Costco because I LOOOVE bezambles (free samples)," Benny's take on Costco.
*It is a sure sign that we don't get a lot of snow where we live when Lila see's snow falling in a picture and calls it popcorn.
*Benny: "Mom, who made dogs? Kristi: "Jesus." Benny: "Why didn't he make us one?"
*"I'm glad Jesus created Bakugans." - Luke
*To the tune of BINGO Benny sang, "B-Y-U-N-G-O." It didn't flow so well.
*"Mom, what's wrong with your face? It looks like a crepe...a burned one." - one of Spencer's kind compliments.
*Luke said he was full so Kristi said, "I guess you don't want any cookies." Luke responded, "Cookies can melt the full."
*"When people say 'diarrhea' it reminds me of the library...it sounds like it." - Spencer
*"Mom, did you know that Obama takes money from us. I think he sneaks in at night time." - Spencer
*Mom, this hot chocolate is really really yummy. You should put some under the blanket for Lila." - Luke while Kristi was nursing Lila.
*"Mom, I like to wiggle." - Luke
*"I want to punch 'Telly Bye-Bye' in the face". - Luke expressing his sadness that Telletubbies was over.
*When I asked Luke what he wants to be when he grows up he responded, "a dinosaur". Another time he said he wants to be "an excavator".
*Upon passing gas: Spencer asked, "do I smell like a fireball?" Luke said, "I coughed out of my bum."
*"What do you think I am, chopped lizard?" - Spencer
*"Dad, I want a clown fish so it can tell jokes to me." - Spencer

*Spencer says that his super power is "trip over". He reports that he rolls on the floor and trips bad guys. While I was gone, he told my sister-in-laws that it is a calling that Heavenly Father gave him. Hm.
*"Mom, can I have the man with oranges?" -Lila trying to ask for mandarin oranges.
* "We should sing 'Girl on Fire.' I think we would sound good singing that." - Benny suggesting to the primary chorister songs for the primary to sing.

Yes, Grandma and Grandpa went to the truck or treat, but they stayed in the van. Lame huh, but maybe more comfortable for them.
Yes, it is true that Spencer in a tee shirt and shorts doesn't actually say much about the weather, but it was extraordinarily mild.
Cute and fun pictures all around! Love you guys!
