Happy Halloween

This year Rylynn decided to be a fairy, or as she would tell people, she was Tinkerbell, even though her costume was all pink and was in no way Tinkerbell.  I was not going to spend the twenty dollars just to get a green fairy costume with Tinkerbell's face on it.  Luckily she didn't seem to mind.  I told Garrett before we went trick or treating that I'm pretty sure she has worn that tutu for every halloween since she was born.  Maybe next year we will splurge and get her a different costume:)  She had a great time at her preschool Halloween party.  I made cupcakes for the class which she loved helping me make.  They decorated trick or treating bags that were so cute!  They also played lots of games.  She got lots of candy and fun things and told us all about it when she got home.

Carter has been telling us for months that he wants to be a "gary, gary ghost!"  That means scary scary ghost.  Then he follows that up with, "I'm gonna gare you!  Booo!"  So I tried to find a ghost costume, but no one makes those so finally I bought a pillow case and just cut it up.  It worked out great!  He loved his costume!

So on Halloween day, we tried so hard to get Carter to take a nap (he is in the growing out of naps phase) since we knew he would be staying up late that night, but he refused.  So as usual when he refuses to take a nap, he just falls asleep where ever he happens to be around 5pm.

I was getting Rylynn ready and came into my room to find this.  Seriously how uncomfortable does that look?  At least he was already dressed, but I still had to do his face makeup.  So I laid him on the floor and managed to get it all done while he was sound asleep!

Then we were off to our friend's house, the Jensens for some soup, cider, and trick or treating!

We had a great time with friends and they live in a great neighborhood so the trick or treating was lots of fun.  Garrett's cousin Stacey and her family were there too and a couple of other people from the ward.  I stayed behind with our little sleeping cub where it was warm and ate lots of yummy food.

The kids got lots of candy and then came back to the house and ate it all night long!  They had a great time with the Jensen's toys too.  They got to play with their friends and eat as much candy as they wanted, I'm pretty sure it was the best night of Carter's life!
