So I know everyone has posted about how adorable their little monsters were this Halloween, and this post won't be any different.
We had such a fun Halloween this year! This was the first Halloween that Ryan was able to participate in 3 years! He has either had to work, or has been away on business, so this year he took advantage and took the entire day off.
Our Halloween started at 10:30 in the morning, where we headed off to Austin's toddler class party. It was so much fun. They had so many fun games and tons of treats and prizes. He had a blast. Then we went out to lunch. All three of us. Actually sat down in a restaurant and ate. Wow, when was the last time we did that?? Can't remember. Fact is, when Austin is in the mix, no one usually gets to eat. But he was so good, and we all filled up.
After lunch we went home and carved pumpkins. As you can tell by the pictures, we carved them very simple. Laziness?? we'll just say less is more. I toasted up the seeds, which are my favorite, and we headed over to Grandma and Grandpa for Pizza and Trick or Treating.
Austin was hilarious this year. He finally got what Halloween is all about. Yes, he once again wouldn't wear a costume (3 years running) but I did manage to get him in his Bat Man shirt and a cape. Not to bad considering.
He would not let anyone walk up to the doors with him. He pushed us back to our spots on the sidewalk, and marched up to the door all by his little self, knocked, said, "Trick or Treat, Thank you, Happy Halloween" to everyone. It was soooo cute. Then he would say, "Lets knock on the next house". He had us cracking up, and all of my mom's neighbors as well!
So to end, I just have to say that having kids is awesome! The holidays are so much more fun, and I have a whole bag of candy, that for some reason Austin is more then happy to share! All I can say is I hope Santa stuffs his stocking this year!

What a cutie!! We miss you guys a ton. I am sorry that we didn't get together more often. I am realizing a lot of things I took for granted while living in Utah. Like a temple within 20 miles. I have to drive an hour-and-a-half now, into Montana. But I am so glad for the blog. I can't wait to see you guys for thnksgiving! Hailey says that she and Austin are best friends. Give everyone a squish for us and we will hopefully (weather permitting) see you in a few weeks.
He IS an adorable little monster!
So I had a little scare and decided to go back to "private" on my blog. I don't remember who I have invited so if you are interested, send me an email so I can add you. I'm going to put my email address in "code" cause I am scared of getting junk mail. Ha!
So my email address is my first name@ my first and last name .com. (ex: jane@janedoe.com)
You and your family have always had the cutest pumpkins! I hope to see you Saturday, I work an odd shift and will be late. For sure save me some salad though. I love that salad more than....life itself!
