What's Wrong with this Picture?

Tanner was taking a bath the other night, when all of the sudden I hear a splash and a lot of giggling. I ran back to see what was going on and this is what I found! Of course, I wasn't very happy about it, but I had to get a picture.

McKay has a very limited vocabulary, but the one word that is always loud and clear is "Baff", he loves bathtime. We just need to teach him how to skinny dip!

The Old Fashion Way...

After an hour of trunk or treating, Bryson asked if he could try the old way of trick or treating, "you know like you use to do it when you were a little girl."
So we went around to a few neighbor's homes that weren't at the trunk or treating party. The boys were having a hard time holding up their heavy buckets.

Our Trunk OF Treats

As a society, we pride ourselves in trying to find ways to get the job done quicker, we are always trying to be more efficient with our time. I am still waiting for the vacuum that can sweep and mop my floor at the same time. But, for now I am happy with the latest, safest way to trick or treat. We went to the church parking lot with 4 eager trick or treaters at 5:00 and left at 6:00 with a trunk full of treats. We now have our year supply of treats, the trick will be if we can make them last that long.
The picture above is our kids, Ry & Jess's, the Clydes, and the Heywood kids.
Mom and Dad, this picture is for you, can you pick out all your grandkids and figure out which one is missing?

Here are our trick or treaters, close up...

The NERD (A.K.A. Bryson age 9) He was in character all night. He had fun pulling up his pants, pushing up his glasses, and grabbing a pencil from his pocket. His outfit was complete with suspenders and his hair parted in the middle.

The FROG (McKay 18 mo.) He was adorable. We were in such a hurry, we forgot his shoes, so he had to be held, which really cramped his style.

STITCH the Alien (Garrett age 6). With four arms, Garrett was able to get his fair share of candy. However, with 2 missing teeth and 2 more that are really loose, its hard to actually eat it!
BUZZ LIGHTYEAR (Tanner age 4) What a proud little man. He had wings on his back and glasses that lit up. Tanner got to wear his costume 3 times! To his preschool Halloween parade, a Halloween party we went to on Saturday, then again to go Trick or Treating.

All done truck or treating! Now we are just hanging out with the pretty girls.

Carving Pumpkins

Carving pumpkins is not what it use to be. I remember sitting around forever drawing face after face to get just the right jack o' lantern pattern. Then, using a kitchen knife, I would start to carve the face that I had drawn on with a marker. Now the boys look on the computer to find the right pattern and then tape the pattern on the pumpkin. After that, we punch little holes along the pattern lines, that then leave a line to cut on the pumpkin. We even have pumpkin carving tools. Man, how things evolve! We had a great time, here are some pictures... Bryson, our true blue fan! Garrett(and his cookie) with his spooky ghost pumpkin.

McKay even got to work on his own little pumkpin. How fun!
