Busy Sunday!

I should title this "Busy Weekend" instead! I had such a busy Halloween weekend! First off, you'll notice in the post before this one that Luvie and I attended the Youth Dance on Friday. What I didn't mention was that it was on the same night as our ward primary party. I was so torn and a little bummed when I realized I wouldn't be taking my kids to their party this year. It was the first time ever! Thank goodness for FAMILY cause my boys were able to go to the party with my mom while Luvie and I went to the dance. I didn't get to take as many pictures as I would have liked of my boys in their costumes this year, but I'm sure I'll track at least one down soon.

Saturday I spent the day prepping for Sunday's primary program, helping Salomay bake cupcakes for her team party, making leis, doing makeup for the YSA dance (luckily I only ended up doing Tate's after SIX people asked, whew!) and getting everything together for trick or treating. I knew Sunday was going to be hectic and I wanted to eliminate any unnecessary stress.

THANK GOODNESS Siua and I took care of getting things ready the night before. Sunday morning wasn't as hard as it could've been. We did manage to forget the boys ties but that was a minor detail and I just had to let it go. All of the boys did such a good job! Everyone said their little line perfectly with no tears or hesitation. Papa and Joshy sang their song together too! Joshy actually sang louder than I thought since he's my shy one. It couldn't have been any cuter. The entire primary did such an amazing job. Siua's brother Ivan came to watch along with my cousins Isi, Osi and Pesi. So nice of them!

Here are a ton of pictures from Sunday


















Right after church Mark took Osi to Oakland to turn in his acceptance letter for his LDS mission to Brazil. They drove right back to San Mateo afterward and came with Ini and Laura too. Pesi and I had been trying to take a nap since we got home from church but once they walked in we knew that wasn't gonna happen. LOL We ended up heading out to Target to look for ideas for Ini and Laura. They wanted to dress up but didn't want to buy anything too pricey. They found some cute boys underwear and decided they would be super heroes. It turned out kinda cute!

By the time we got back from Target it was time to get ready to head out. Nia's family came along with some of her siblings and they dressed as the whole Yo Gabba Gabba crew. She made all of the costumes herself and they were so cute!!! They were definitely a big hit while trick or treating. I didn't expect to be that DEEP but we had a good time! The kids always like going in a huge group with friends and family so it was perfect for them. We went to the Beresford area in San Mateo and it was cool! We probably should have gone earlier to avoid the huge crowd but it was still a ton of fun. I'd heard they went all out around there but I wasn't expecting the haunted houses to be so scary! I'm a wuss and always ilifia tevolo so I wasn't surprised at how scared I was. At one point Papa even told me that I made him more scared. Maybe I'll just wait for them to come out of the haunted houses next year. LOL
