Halloween

I think this is the last post I need to do before I am caught up.

Halloween was very fun for us thhis year. I think moms get more excited about it when the kids are young. My sister-in-law and I went to Kid-to-Kid the day the revealed all the costumes and got both of the boys adorable things. Kyler, my nephew was a monkey(so cute!!) and Owen was Cookie Monster. I thought it would be a great WARM costume for him. Turns out it didn't really need to be that warm. The weather was perfect for Halloween. I was a cozy witch. (Eyelashes were a killer to get on, even after 10 years of dancing.)

We had lots of parties to go to so I got lots of chances to show him off.

After the parties in the afternoon, we went over to gma's to carve pumpkins. Owen really didn't know what to think. Sheryl, my sister, kept on trying to put pumpkin guts on him. Still didn't work, he was too interested in the serated spoon. Nice toy for a 1 year old to have, I know!

Soon after we were done carving, we had to do our yearly tradition. We dance to Thriller! All the girls in the family get up and we watch the Thriller video and when the chorus starts, we all dance. I have to say that Sara is definately the best. I was behind the camera this year so you can't see me, but enjoy Sara!!!

Then, we all went Trick-or-Treating!! Owen quickly became aware that if he pounded on the door, a bowl of candy would suddenly appear. But then he wouldn't get the candy, it would just go into his bowl :( 1 year olds have a tough life! But when we got back to the house, I was a nice mom and gave him a candy. He was too eager to eat it, put the whole thing in his mouth, wrapper included!

We all love Halloween.
Here is my older sister, Sheryl.

My little niece, Maddison.

My sister Sara and her husband Trent.

And Owen, still with candy in his mouth!
