Happy Halloween!!!

Halloween is so much fun! I love it. I don't know if Gavin is too excited about the dressing up part, but he is excited to get candy. We went to the store to pick up a bag of candy to pass out and a lady was passing out candy and he knew what to do right away. "Trick or Treat," he said and gladly ate the candy. Ahh...just like his dad. All about the candy without having to dress up. This year we found a skunk costume. He wore it once to our ward party crying for the first five of the 45 minutes that he had it on. Maybe he doesn't want to be a stinky skunk. But he sure is a cute one. He had fun going door to door in our neighborhood and at his grandparents. Oh and the other day we had our neighbors (Cari, Patrick and Jacob) over and carved pumpkins. They are way more talented and creative in the pumpkin carving area. They carved Bill Cosby, John Wayne and Lightning McQueen. We carved ours from a stencil/pattern book. We did a spooky house, a scarecrow and a classic pumpkin face for Gavin's. Owen's was too mushy to try and carve it so we wrote his name on it. It was a lot of fun to carve pumpkins together. We love our twinkie neighbors that we seem to have so much in common with. Cari has become such a good friend of mine. It has been nice to have someone that we can call and hang with, go shopping with, eat out with or switch babysitting with while we have our baby appointments and make our bellies into pumpkins. She is due with her second boy, like a week after me. And our two year olds are the best of buddies. I feel so blessed to have them for neighbors. Anyways Happy Halloween and we hope everyone eats so much candy you feel sick!
