A Happy Halloween

Before it gets to late I thought I would post about our Halloween. Ammon was in New Mexico last week so we did pumpkin carving a little early, the weekend before. Ammon's mom was in town which added to the fun. We only carved one pumpkin and that was enough. In fact one pumpkin made enough of a mess, I think we will just have a family pumpkin from now on, until the kids are old enough to do it themselves and clean up themselves (wishful thinking, right?). We all worked together...

Grandma cut the top off and roasted the pumpkin seeds. Kent made some much needed holes. And although there is no picture, I cleaned the pumpkin out, and...

Ammon carved.

The final product.

The next night we went to the ward party. The youth put on a little carnival for the kids and Kent thought that was really fun. The kids have also been wearing their Halloween shirts, that Auntie Sarah got them, all month. Kent asked to wear his "Halloween shirt" almost everyday. I would continually have to tell him it was dirty.

Don't mind Kent's smile, he is in the cheesy stage.

Our cute girl has started to smile.

Lastly, we actually trick-or-treated on Halloween night. Kent was in heaven. We dropped Addy off at my great-aunt's house and just trick-or-treated in her neighborhood. A lot of her neighbors are older and thought Kent was so cute they would give him handfuls of candy. Kent's bag was full in no time and Ammon and I were more than happy to be done. Although Addy didn't go with us we still put her in her lady bug costume. I recycled Kent's dog costume from last year since it still fit and we live in a different place. It was nice not to have to stress about getting him another costume. But don't worry I will let him be something different next year.

Our cute lady bug, you can tell she is thrilled.

Kent didn't want to sit by his sister, who was already cranky.

Then when we moved them together, Addy just flopped over. But hey, it was a good picture of Kent.

Kent trick-or-treating. Don't mind the one pant leg up and the unspotted bottom (the sweatshirt normally covers that area).

Happy about his loot.
