Halloween!

Halloween this year was pretty dang awesome.

I'm sad it's over.

Here we are carving our pumpkins. Or well, gutting them. Ok, that sounds gross.

Now here's when the actual carving began. This seriously is andys face when he carves pumpkins. He's gonna kill me when he sees this on here, but that's the point. Maybe then he'll realize how silly he looks and he'll stop doing it!! Haha!

jack skeleton

and jax had to have a turn too!

Pumpkin kisses of course!

this is a horrible photo and this is why i want a new camera. I added to it's horribleness to try to make it look horrible on purpose.



THE DAY OF HALLOWEEN STARTED A LITTLE SOMETHING LIKE THIS:

Jax loves to read books. Especially books with "scary people". He secretly loves to get scared. this book has a vampire that laughs at the end. he freaks out but loves it at the same time. he's so strange ! He thinks that by giving the "scary people" hugs and kisses, it will make them nice. It's hilarious to watch him kiss everything he thinks is scary!

Followed by his Halloween Elmo movie

Then my favorite part of the day...NAPTIME!

This is how he was sleeping! He's so stinking cute with that silky of his.

While he slept, I made chili. It took FOR E VER! I had to chop onions and I hate that. I had make up on but by the end it was smeared all over my face and my eyes felt a little swollen. Then I had to individually peel 2 jumbo cloves of garlic. Also not really my cup of tea. But I did it, and that's what matters. I have a picture of it, but it kind of looks like throw up and that's really not what I want to portray.

It was actually really, really good. I'm thinking of MAYBE doing it again next year. It was that good!

Now here's the best part !!!

Jaxon's Halloween costume!

Can you tell what he is????

Lots of people were saying , "oh she looks so cute!" Andrew and I just laughed.

Jax looooooved trick or treating!

This year we were pleasantly surprised and not all prepared. We actually had more than 4 trick or treaters! Try like 400! Turns out our neighborhood is the BOMB when it comes to Halloween. Kids come from surrounding areas to trick or treat here. There were kids everywhere. It was like a huge costume block party. Parents were even out and dressed up. It was great!!

When we had hit every street in our neighborhood, we decided to call it good. Jax wasn't having it though! He even WALKED almost the whole time. He wanted MORE! He really wanted to go back out. Cute thing!

After that , we invited our friends over to have some Chili, apple cider and donuts! (Tradition!)

*Lots of fun*

Hope you all had a happy Halloween!
