The only thing better than having a kid on Halloween is having 2! Eventhough Presley had not a clue what was going on- she at least looked dang cute while clueless.
My mom was so kind as to get both of my kids costumes for them this year and they both turned out so cute! Presley was a Gold Fish. And Vander was the monster from Where the Wild Things Are.
We took a trip to the neighborhood Fall Festival hosted by my ward at the park a few doors down. Joel was on his blasted hunting trip so he wasn't there with us. Luckly Grammy Wendy was there to help me wrangle the little ones. This was the first year that we actually lasted through the trick or treating portion of the festival! Vander had a blast dancing to the music.
Then a few nights later we enjoyed pumpkin carving and delicious soup with our buds at the Henderson's. I dont think I actually got a single picture of our finish products, but if you know my husband at all, you know he just carves squares.. Well- usually SQUARE (not plural) ;) But this year he went WILD and carved 3 squares.
And then of course there was Halloween. A few weeks prior to Halloween we had gone to a Halloween party in which Vander was scared to DEATH of a masked kid in a Spider man costume. For weeks now at random moments of the day he will mutter quietly "Spider man scare me". For that reason, we thought that Halloween night was going to be a nightmare with all of the FAR more scary costumes that would be roaming about. Instead after a few doors he was a champ and was getting the hang of it. Getting him to say trick or treat was practically impossible- but he did say "Thank you" and "Bye Bye". On our way to almost every door he would get excited and say "Mo Candy!".
I love the holidays and adore my babies even more!
Vander loved his and sissys own little pumpkins. They were more like balls to him...
Cutest lil fishy ever!
Vander was so mad that we put him in that costume despite all his efforts and tantrums- He wouldn't even make eye contact with me.
Our trick or treating blanket at the Fall Festival
Presley prompty passed out in Grammys arms.
Vander kept walking to these poor peoples blanket and standing in the middle of it. He loved their pumpkins and candles. They were so kind to let me take a pic of my son plopped on their blanket
My little Monster ;)
He took of his hat and danced to the music for about 30 minutes straight
Carving Pumpkins with the Hendersons :)
Vander was not such a fan. One look at that pile of junk and he was GONE
What better to give a kid an hour past his bedtime then I big swig of Mountain Dew? I did NOT approve... but I did take the photo ;)
Vander experienced his first kiss that night.... Girlfriend Blake Henderson- First kiss :)
(My timing was NOT correct with this photo- but at least the moment was documented)
