Halloween Recap

I'm terribly behind on the blog, behind on life; however, this is my family record, and although blogging is so 2008, I'm sticking with it.  Stay tuned as I update, great pics to come!  

Once again, the kids planned a full year in advance what they wanted to be for Halloween and I have to admit that I loved it!  We took them to see Peter Pan at BYU a couple of years ago and I've thought it would be cute to do, but didn't want to force it.  This was not forced and I thought they looked so great!

 Carving pumpkins- always a great night!  So grateful there are two parents to help carve, but the kids were awesome this year at actually sticking their hands in and pulling out the guts!

 This picture is classic my life- a child on each side of me, one in my lap, and a project at hand.  I did not let Mike snap the picture minutes before while I was carving and nursing at the same time, multi-tasking at it's best!

 I'm grateful to have a few baby loving neighbors who have offered to watch Clark on occasion.  I was able to go to the boys Halloween parties at school, a special treat considering I haven't volunteered in their classrooms because of pregnancy/new baby.  They were so cute and so excited to have me there.

 Halloween night was cold and rainy.  Clark and I stayed home to pass out candy and Mike took the others around the neighborhood.  Tinkerbell didn't last long, it was too cold and she was content with coming home to cozy up by the fire with me and Clark.

 Early on Tanner was vacillating between being Jake from Jake and the Neverland Pirates or just a regular pirate.  I found this cute pirate costume and brought it home to ask what he'd decided.  I think he was excited about actually having the costume that day and decided to forgo the Jake idea.  However, he came to me the next day and said he wanted to be Jake after all.  At this point his regular pirate costume had been worn and tags removed.  I told him he'd already made his choice.  After that told everyone in a monotone voice he was "a regular (pronounced reglar) pirate".  I kind of felt badly about what happened, but not enough to make or buy a second costume.  I thought he looked cute, though!

 Captain Hook and the regular pirate booked it around the neighborhood, but were still no match for Peter Pan, who stayed out even later with a neighbor friend to hit a few more houses!

Such a fun holiday with these cute kids, love them!
