Halloween Night

Since Andrew works all day, I pretty much have time to blog all the time. So, I know I realize I am a kind of loser, but it's better than watching tv all day right? AND yesterday I found a horrible little surprise on my computer...about 98% of all our pictures had been mysteriously erased! (Later we found out it was because of our stupid zune) So, LUCKILY...I have this blog where I post just about every little thing that ever happens, and a TON of our pics are saved on it. AND before I even started blogging at all, we saved all our pics on CDs. So really, we didn't lose a lot. We did lose a few, and I don't like to think about it. ANYWAY...moral of the story...SAVE your pics on some back-up thing. Or blog!

Well...after that horrifying event, because it was Halloween, I tried to not let it affect me, so it wouldn't interfere with Halloween! (It was hard, but it had to be done!) It was Jaxon's first Halloween! He pretty much had no idea what was going on the whole time, yet Andrew & I insisted on making him endure the WHOLE Halloween experience. Yes, We DID go trick or treating! We were so excited to finally have a good excuse to go again! We both love it dressing up and going trick or treating and think that it's too sad that it's not acceptable for adults to do it. We got a lot of "How old is your baby?" from people who were obviously thinking that candy is not for your baby, it's for you! And yep, that's true! Well we did give Jaxon a sucker! He loved it.

But really, he was just a long for the ride. He loved it. We started pretty early (at like 5:30 ish), and no one was home! They were all at the STUPID STUPID trunk or treat! (Andrew and I have a very strong opinion about the trunk or treat...) But as it got later, more people were home and we saw more kids on the streets trick or treating. We went in a really nice neighborhood thats pretty close to our house. I think we trick or treated on the best street in Utah. I'm serious! There was this house that went all out. They had seriously everything out in their front yard. You had to even walk through this little scary place to get to the candy. It was great. On that same street, there was a really cool witch on a bike driving up and down the road giving out candy. AND on that street was a spook alley! It was free too. We didn't go in because of Jax. It was awesome! We are glad that we went! We all had a great time, and Jax got a lot of candy that we will be definitely helping him out with! When we got home at like 7:30, we waited and waited for trick or treaters, but NOTHIN! We had a bunch of candy ready for them too! sad!

I made home-made chili!

gettin ready to go trick or treating!

Jax loved this sucker!

this is that cool scary house

check out that witch!

Jaxon kept looking up at us to make sure we were still there. I think he was pretty confused about this whole thing.

Look at all that candy!
