Halloween!
It was interesting having a baby so close to Halloween. I LOVE Halloween... not any of the scary stuff.. (I avoid TV during Octover b/c I can't find the remote fast enough to change the scary movie adds even). But I love all the dress up stuff and chocolate and especially fall! This year was an especially beautiful season. But we had to miss several of the Halloween festivities. I had the baby on the School's Spootacular night .. so sad to miss that. It is the cutest tradition the PTA puts on. Maw-maw and Aunt Nikki were sweet enough to take Juddy for me. And I was in the ER the night of the ward Trunk or Treat... sniff sniff. But I DID make it to Cynthia's for our Halloween tradition. Here is a pic of our family. Carma looks hilarious in this picture...it is So difficult to get a picture of her... she IS a cutie though.. and she was SO excited for Halloween. She kept asking us everyday what we were going to be for at least a week. And she would end saying "And I am going to be Cinder-RELLA" (stresses the rella part everytime).
So, Judson originally wanted to be Iron Man. We looked up on the net and the costume was
$40.00. What the heck. I was going to buy it for him and let him pay for half.. but dad said "NO". Good thing b/c 2 weeks ago he said that he is growing out of Super Heroes and that he wanted to spend his money on cool toys instead. Phew.. thanks hon for stopping that purchase. $40.00 on a costume.. outrageous! Aunt April saved the day with his homemade Jack Sparrow Costume!!
Maw-maw took Judson trick-or-treating since I could only walk so far... Thanks maw-maw. Judson loved it!
So, this is Carma's first trick or treating. She honestly has had an ear infection the past 3 years.... I hope the ear infections are far behind us now. So this is the first one she has been well enough to go. We went around to a couple of houses.. she got scared at the third house and saw Michael on our porch and said "I want to go home now and see daddy". She is SO my daughter and scared of her own shadow!!! Poor thing.. it isn't fun being a scardiy cat, but it is just our nature. She was so stinking cute saying "trick or treat". She used to say "trick or treak" .. so cute! They grow up way too fast.
This is actually Michael's costume on Wyatt. Istn' it SO cute! Dana do you recognize this? It is the bicycle helmet cover you won for Judson... keep eatin those pop tarts:)
Our little Squirt!! Thanks Ashley for this SUPER cute costume. He looks so dang cute!! He was only 8 days old for Halloween! So tiny! I swear he is bigger already.
Here are some of the cousins at Aunt Cynthia's house. It is tradition for the family to go to their house and have Soup and bread. I love that tradition.. what a cute one. April made these Three Musketeer costumes and the baby is Puss in boots. SO CUTE HUH! I wish I could have gotten Rachelle's kiddies too, they were ADORABLE too. Can I say that it is pretty much impossible to get a decent picture of Carma. These are the best ones .. sad huh.
