Halloween

Halloween is so much fun, especially when you have two little boys whom love all the excitement that comes along with Halloween.  A few weeks prior to Halloween I was so excited to start decorating for Halloween that I offered to let the boys paint pumpkins.  Boy oh boy was it a lot of fun . . .

Carter thinks hes picasso.  He doesn't even look at his master piece as he is painting.

CHEESE!!!!!   Look at my colorful pumpkin mom.

Painting my pumpkin got boring, instead I will just paint me.

I love to paint!  I am all done.

Our pumpkins are finished ... I guess it is time for a bath. 

Another fun thing we did about a week before Halloween was go to Greenbluff.  We had never been to Greenbluff before however Melissa asked us to come to Spokane and head there with her.  We had no idea what to expect however when we got there it was so awesome.  I wish I would have dressed warmer as well as we should have brought a stroller but we had no clue anything about it.  By the end of the time we were there Jon said, "We will have to do this every year except for next time we need to be better prepared."  Overall it was a great few hours however now we know what to expect.  Here are a few picture from our day.

 The first thing we did was go to the Petting Zoo area and the kids loved it.  Xander enjoyed the animals as long as he was with his daddy but Carter loved them all.  It was fun to watch them play with the animals and be around them.

 We took turns carrying Stella and I enjoyed having her because she kept me warm.  I love my niece shes such a sweetie and super cute. 

Such a proud mommy and her cute little girl.  I love my sister and niece so much, spending the day with them was a blast.

 Carter's favorite part was riding the pony.  He was so excited to be riding the pony and he didn't want to get off.

 Look at all the pumkpins in the background.

 Xander Pants also rode the pony and he loved every minute of it.  It was so cute to see him riding the pony and him enjoying himself.

 One final picture of Xander on the pony ... He is so cute and happy.

 Our cute family!!

 Carter didn't understand how to just put part of his face in and smile, but him trying sure was funny.

 Carter was not a fan of having his picture alone but I just had to do it.

 This is my favorite picture.  It is so crazy to think in just a couple months We will be a family of five and their were be lots of pictures taken of Jon, my boys and our soon to be daughter.  We had an amazing day at Greenbluff and it ended with this picture.  I love my wonderful family.

The last way we celebrated Halloween of course was by trick or treating.  We didn't go many places however the boys still enjoyed it.  Jon had to work so I just took the boys to Grandma Jo's house.  After that we went to my dads house, Jon's work and then to the bowling alley.  We didn't go many places but the boys still go plenty of unneeded candy so it was a lot of fun. 

When we showed up at Grandma's to go trick or treating with had to take a picture with her.  The boys were so excited to see her.

Carter was our little fireman and Xander was a lion.  The both looked adorable and loved their costumes.

Carter then decided he was going to be a firefighter when he got bigger and he wanted to show me his outfit.

Halloween was a great time, it is always fun to have family time.  I am blessed with a wonderful family and very thankful for that.
