Halloween

Happy Halloween!! We had 2 Bumblebee Transformers and 1 little fairy (or butterfly as the boys thought) to go trick-or-treating with. We tried to convince one of the boys to be a different transformer but finally gave in and got them the same costume (and yes we bought them--Mrs. Lazy is my name, plus I figured it was worth the money for them to play with afterwards). Halloween isn't my very favorite holiday. I don't like spending money on costumes or candy. It's just kind of weird going to people's houses that you barely know and asking for candy. Usually we visit family and some friends and get lots of candy but this year we weren't by family so we settled for neighbors. It was fun, but random! Also, before Halloween when people would ask what the boys were going to be, they would say bumblebee--I had to clarify that they were going to be Bumblebee Transformer not a flying stinging bumblebee. Ha ha!
Looking at there loot!
I don't think they were very tired after trick-or-treating. What do you think?
Carving pumpkins
Angry bird and Smurf. Jason pretty much did them both! Great job!
Grandpa and Grandma decided last minute to go to Salt Lake so they stayed at our house on there way there. It was fun seeing them for a little bit!
I helped in Braden's classroom with the Halloween party. I was in charge of the treat--decorating sugar cookies. It was fun seeing all of his new friends. His teacher is so wonderful and sweet! She was sick the other day and he came home a little disappointed that she wasn't there.
The weekend before Halloween, we went to visit Brad and Bec. Jason and Brad went golfing while me, Bec and all the kids went to Costco and made Halloween spider cookies.

Braden took this picture. He's turning into quite the little photographer although this one's a little blurry and the other one he took kind of cut our heads off.
Little Miss Hay getting into everything and eating all our leftovers off the floor!
The boys had a blast "fixing" Brad's bike!
We also visited the pumpkin walk. It was a lot of fun. This display was our favorite--Despicable Me. It was soooo cute! And so real!
