More Halloween

Our first Halloween in Utah was great!! It waited until the next week to get cold. I don't think the temperature was much lower than what we were accustomed to in Arizona. We also got to go to Grandpa and Grandma's house and share the fun with the cousins!
This is my cute niece Gwen.
This is all of the younger Utah Pew cousins.

This is my cute niece Emily with Minnie. Minnie is only 5 1/2 months older than Emily, despite the difference in their heights. Minnie is on the tall side for her age (I have no idea where that came from with her short parents!) and Emily is on the short side. If you could put me at age 11 next to Minnie, I would probably have been about Emily's height, maybe shorter! I was always tiny for my age.
This is Atom showing our traditional Halloween dinner side-dish. He wanted to display his despite the fact that he had already destroyed it!
This is Minnie showing a non-mutilated version of our traditional jello with whipped-cream and skittles eyes Halloween dinner side dish. I serve one of my kids' favorite meals on Halloween--like Taco Soup or Taco Salad--in the hopes they will stuff themselves and not have so much room in their tummies for candy later! Minnie made sure I did the traditional jello this year. I must confess that last year I let them down--I think I totally forgot about it because my brain and heart were consumed with pining after the-love-of-my-life, who was living over 500 miles away at the time. He was sad about missing the kids in their costumes last year. I am SO GLAD that we are all together again this fall!

P.S. Can anyone tell me why my photos now show up in my post backwards from the order I load them?? It recently started doing this, despite the fact that I have not changed what I am doing to load them.

Cute photos and fun ideas for dinner--that's why we usually have pizza. Not creative but everyone will eat! I am technically sound so I have no idea about your photos!

My photos always go to the top of the post, no matter what else has already been added. I've found that once they are in I can get them where I want them in the post using cut and paste, but it is still a little annoying.

Yes, mine have always gone to the top but now they also show up backwards--like if I add five photos at a time, the one I added fifth shows up first, fourth shows up second, etc. So I have to think backwards when I add them to avoid more cutting and pasting. This has only been happening for about a week.
