Halloween

This was the first Halloween in YEARS that I really got to enjoy. I think as David gets older and understands the holidays a bit more, things get a bit funner for us. This year we had lots of Halloween themed activities to do.

A few weeks ago my cousin Ali and her husband Trace came into town and we went to a pumpkin patch, where we looked (yes just looked) at pumpkins and David had fun getting into the bouncy houses and going down the slides.

We attended the Nestle Halloween party where David got to dress up as a crazy and creepy science guy, Greyson was a cute little skeleton and David was a Jedi knight. We had yummy Nestle treats and David got some candy at each station (cause we don't have enough at home). It was fun to meet more of David's colleagues, visit his office for the first time, and have lunch in the cafeteria.  The buddy didn't want to leave.

We had our ward Trunk-or-Treat the following day where David, having a white wig and lab coat decided he and David should dress up as Doc Brown and Marty Mcfly from Back to the Future. We were lucky to already have all of the essentials to create us a cute little Marty. It was the Perfect year to do it since this is the year that Marty visits in Back to the Future 2. Greyson was in a fox suit I made him. It only took me about a million tries to get the suit right. I can't even remember the times I had to unsew what I had just sewn. It was worth it because he looked freaking ADORABLE!

We had another Trunk-or-Treat we were invited to this Friday. So lots and lots more candy and fun for little David. All week he just has been grabbing his bucket and saying "trick or treat mami, trick or treat". Oh how disappointed he will be once he realizes it's all over.

Yesterday We went Trick-or-Treating with some friends and my cousin. David and David (should I start calling him by his middle name?) went again as Marty and Doc and we got LOTS of candy. I should mention that these last few weeks I've been off of sugar during the week, and the last couple of days I've made up for those days. I have quite the tummy ache.....but it's all worth it. The Reese's are gone now so I'm not as temped......We will see if my no sugar on weekdays continue....maybe I'll just end up with Diabetes at the end of this post with all I've been having today.

I hope you all had a fun filled Halloween! Let the Holiday madness begin!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Halloween is one of my FAVORITE holidays, but this year it seems that though I made costumes and was really excited for this year, I forgot to do everything else you typically do for Halloween. Carving pumpkins, decorating the house, and getting into the true Halloween spirit.

Luckily Nestle hosted a fun little employee and their family Halloween party so we attended that last Friday and we had some fun with that.

 Halloween seemed like it was going to have some rainy weather so we decided to do trick-or-treating at the mall. Turned out that was a very good idea for this kid. Got enough candy for both baby and us to enjoy.

Baby was so excited to be with his Dad !

Popcorn is this kid's FAVORITE snack.

He was in awe of Zoltar, he got a few fortunes

They had great activities for the kids to do. Decorating trick-or-treating bags and Hollywood stars

It was a long day and so he decided to take a break

We were in line a REALLY long time to get a family cartoon done

We decided to do trick-or-treating at the mall and I think for his age it was appropriate. We got there just in time, because they ran out of candy within a couple of hours after we got there

David wasted NO time to start eating his candy

Not the best Halloween picture with Christmas decorations in the back...... I can't believe how crazy soon they put things up 

These girls as you can see were smitten by my handsome boy.

We went over to the outdoor mall across the street to get some fresh air and continue trick-or-treating

My mom was in town so we got to enjoy Halloween with her!

Family photo!

They have a water fountain show at the Americana and the baby LOVED it, he was excited and in awe

He is such a handsome handsome pirate

We took a break for a little bit before we met up with cousins to do some more trick-or-treating, the boys had to check their emails before they ordered

Once we met up with the cousins David had a lot of fun running around with them

We went back to some of the same shops, these girls gave him a bunch of candy because they said he was their favorite. As you can see he didn't mind at all!
