Happy Halloween!!

It's finally here...the big night! It seems like October FLEW by! The past couple of nights have been filled with lots of dress up and candy. Last night we went to our ward party! It was a lot of fun and of course we sported the same Halloween costume....but this time we tried to rock it a little harder. Ethan had fun running around the entire church with Kurt chasing after him (I was over Bingo with the Primary). So lets begin ...Let me introduce....Our little Vampire (I wanted to say he was Edward, but Kurt vetoed that very quick!).


We bought pumpkins a couple of weeks ago but just got around to carving them today! Lets just say I'm not doing it again. I remember it being much more fun in years past. Kurt got Ethan's done and we both started working on ours....it didn't last long. We both ended up not finishing them! Ethan had a fun time watching...we do everything we can to keep him entertained while he has his patch on.
and here is the finished product...

Next we headed over to my parents house to meet up with all the cousins and take pictures. We put Ethan down for a nap today but all he did was talk to himself and wouldn't go to sleep. This is what happens when he doesn't get a nap.
Well....things didn't go so much as planned. Evan, my brother's little boy, saw Jack and Paige's face all painted and went in to a panic. (He doesn't like masks at all.) So Alaina had to sit with him through the pictures but he wouldn't uncover his face. Poor guy!!!

Next it was on to Kurt's parents house to meet up with all the cousins on that side. Don't worry that Ethan fell asleep again on the short ride over to Russ & Lynette's.

He loved the witch but was trying to steal her broom. I don't know what his obsession is about brooms!!

Then it was back home to hand out all the candy! Once again the two minute ride home he was out! We took a million baths to get the black out, got him into his skull pj's, ate some dinner....and then the fun began. Ethan was in heaven when we pulled out the big bowl of candy. Kurt and I started eating and when I turned the corner to see what Mr. Chaos was up to I found him throwing candy all over the room.
Now it's all over....and the fun starts all over again 365 days from tonight!
And we couldn't forget about Kya!
