{Halloween}

October has come and gone....it was a busy and fun month filled with lots of parties, pumpkins, costumes, and treats! The boys enjoyed picking out a pumpkin and pulling all the slimy seeds out.



Cody worked hard finding a jack-o-lantern pattern online, and printed and cut it out. He wasn't thrilled when I told him that they boys should be able to draw with markers on the pumpkin and then he should cut out their design..... ;o)



Mr. Pumpkin turned out to have three eyes, a carrot shaped nose, and an interesting mouth but it looked great when he was carved and had candles glowing inside.

This year Rhett has been talking for months about being The Emperor from Star Wars. I will admit, I tried to discourage him because it was a difficult costume to find and so freaky looking!! His heart was set on it, and so we ordered the mask online and found a black costume to wear and he was set. Ethan wanted to be a vampire, and Kade picked out a lion costume that looked so cute.




This was the first year we stayed home and went trick-or-treating in our neighborhood, and the boys lasted a long time. Rhett and Ethan even went through the haunted house of a ward member. It was a fun month, now it's on to Thanksgiving and Christmas!

The costumes look so great! Maggie kept telling me that Ethan was going to be a Vampire. I love how kids know everything about each other.

Cody's irritated face cracks me up. You did a good job on Ethan's face paint, he looks freaky.

Too cute! Two of my boys were a lion and a vampire, too, how funny:)

Just one of the many artistic sacrifices Cody is going to have to make in the years to come. You two are great parents.

Fun Halloween! Your boys look like they loaded up on the candy and are loving it! We should have had your lion to go with our Dorothy!
