We hope everyone had a Happy Halloween! We sure did.
On Monday night we carved our jack-o-lanterns for Family Home Evening. Cosette loved hers so much that she slept with it in her room that night. I thought it might be a little scary for a night light, but she disagreed (I used battery operated tea lights, so no danger of a fire hazard).

| My favorite: Jeff's mathematical pumpkin |
Now, let me explain Jeff's pumpkin a little. He came up with the left side of the equation first to look like a face. But then he figured out a way for this equation to actually make sense (and no, x does not equal eleven times v). There's a trick to it. I'm curious to see if anyone can figure it out. I'll post the answer in a comment.

| Happy cheerleader |
Cosette dressed up as a BYU cheerleader for Halloween. We borrowed the outfit from my sister Suzanne (thank you for providing us with a costume for the third year in a row!), and I found the cute hairpiece at DI. She got to wear her costume three times this month: on the day of BYU's Homecoming game, when we went down to Provo for a Math Education Alumni Breakfast; to our old ward's Halloween party the Saturday before Halloween; and she wore it all day on Halloween.

| I love this cute pose! |
I really enjoyed taking Cosette around the neighborhood for trick-or-treating. Sadly, it was colder than I anticipated and Cosette wanted to come home after only a few houses. But it was still fun.
