Halloween

I don't so much love Halloween as I love making Halloween costumes. My two older ones have had the cutest costumes so far and this year they wouldn't let me choose what I wanted them to be. They both chose a costume and wouldn't budge I wasn't about to make a homemade ninja turtle or mermaid because that is just not fun so they used what we already had around the house and I hated it so much I'm blaming my subconscious for not even taking a picture, bad mother. But Quincy can't talk so I got to do what I wanted with her! I dressed her in Josie's old chicken costume just to crack myself up but she hated it and it was busting at the seems, she was just too big. So I went with the next best thing, Nacho Libre. She seemed to like that much better. My mom was disgusted but I figured as much.

 Some pre Halloween activities, We went to Lagoon with Dean's siblings and it was a lot of fun. I also went to Thriller for the first time with some girl friends and that was fun too.

I was bragging to my friends how my kids didn't know about carving pumpkins and I wasn't going to teach them until they were old enough to figure it out. I should have assumed as much but the very next day karma got me and Josie started asking if we could carve pumpkins like Taylor Hall. I bought tiny pumpkins and let them paint them but she wasn't satisfied we talked about it for another week or so and she was just set on this Halloween fantasy. I gave in and it was terrible, I obviously did all the work myself and it was a mess and terrible just like I had anticipated but it was almost all worth it when I lit them up and Quincy went nuts. She was so scared she obviously has the worst fear of jack-o-lanterns in all of history, it was so so funny and sad and funny.

Emilee and Johnny came to visit and bought us a fun Halloween dinner, she is always so sweet to do fun stuff for me and my kids.

 I took the kids to the Logan Pumpkin walk for the first time, who knew that was such a big deal? What a fun place, we had a good time walking around!

Trig saw a boy dressed as the Loan Ranger on Halloween night and he came up the stairs like this a few days later, he was just sure he had tricked me and I really thought it was the Loan Ranger not my son, he was so pleased with himself.
