Halloween Fun


He looks more and more like Andrew everyday.

For Halloween we sat at the house and handed out candy. Which was kind of bittersweet. I loved and hated it all at the same time. First, I hated spending $15 on Dollar Store candy that would just give kiddos cavities! I know...it's a horrible attitude to have! It was super cute seeing all of the kiddos and their costumes though! Last year, we had a ton of trick or treaters. I mean a ton! This year there wasn't as big of a crowd maybe because it started sprinking around seven. Regardless, we handed out all of our candy and Carter boy got lots of compliments.

Carter was a cow. He wasn't so sure of the outfit. I think he thought it was punishment for something he did wrong. :) He didn't fuss but he wasn't quite happy either. It had mittens but those didn't last long at all. It isn't much of an outfit but we missed our ward's trunk or treat because we were out of town. So, we knew we would just be handing out candy at the house. We want to dress up as a family next year and we have some pretty great ideas after brainstorming last night...so, come back soon Halloween!

After we put Carter to bed, Andrew and I stayed up late and played games - with the TV OFF! It was really, really great to spend some quiet time with him. :) Today is going to be a lazy day. We have to get groceries later but that is all that is on our agenda. On weekends we are actually at home we try not to accomplish much :) Andrew is out washing the car now and I'm getting ready to fix lunch. I love days that are unplanned and relaxing! :)
