Jaxon, save some for the trick or treators!
Oh, the good times keep on rollin'. We had a blast on Saturday. We were a tad bit busy on Saturday morning with meetings, cub scouts and basketball practice but then we headed up to Denver to spend the evening with Steve's brother and his family. We had dinner and then obviously went trick or treating. It was so fun to watch Dakota go from house to house, trying to swap candy. She kept trying to exchange something she had with the "new" candy! Anytime the homeowner said she could have 2, she would just give it back. I just told them that trying to give her the option to take two was just too confusing. I think by the end of the night she definitely had the process down to a science. I have always loved Halloween but this year I just couldn't stop laughing. Guess you had to be there! LOL! TC had to be snake eyes from GI Joe. I honestly don't even know how he knew who that was. We haven't seen the movie. I guess, advertising alone can suck a child in. AJ was my little Edward. I thought it was funny when he told me that he wanted to be Edward Cullen for Halloween. That has to be so easy. Pale face, red lips, purple under the eyes, and a good casual outfit. The least I have spent on a costume since TC was born. We did have to buy vampire teeth. Come on, it has to be a little but more fun. Dakota, was Cheer Bear, from the Care Bears. I think I only watched Care Bears once in my life, so Steve had to tell me which Bear costume I bought. I know, I was so deprived. What do you expect, when I grew up with 8 brothers? Oh, and there is Jaxon. He is at my most favorite age. His big eyes get him whatever he wants. OK, I'm not really that soft but man. He was a bumble bee. He loved his costume and was so excited to be dressed up. He ended up with 3 pieces of candy because after getting those, he just wanted to sit and eat them. I'm sure we have enough to share. Let me just say that Sacrament today was so much fun. We could hear all of the kids who were on a sugar high, which of course included my own. There are consequences to late night fun! We hope everyone else had a great Halloween. I still can't believe 2009 is almost over. Where did it go? Oh, and thanks to my wonderful sister-n-law, I have pictures of last night. I was changing a diaper during picture time. Go figure!
