Halloween Parade

Today was the Halloween parade at the elementary school. Carson had a lot of fun walking around, showing off his costume.

There were lots of star wars costumes, this is him and a boy in his class having fun.

Jacob, Carson and Audrey. He is so lucky to have lots of fun friends! Michael loved watching the parade too. He kept shouting out "There's Indiana Jones, there's a Star Wars guy". He loved it!

Pumpkin Carving

Last night we finally got around to carving pumpkins. The boys have been dying to make their Jack-0-lanterns. They both insisted that theirs be scary. I had let them color the face on them earlier in the week, so they knew exactly what they wanted. After Shan followed all their directions, they were both extremely pleased with how they turned out.

I wish I could keep this cute boys face clean!

Class party

Thursday I got to go help Carsons class with their Halloween party. They had so much fun playing all the different games. I got to help with bingo, and I loved it. I love seeing Carson play at school. It's this whole little world that I don't get to look into very often. So it's fun for me to see him in his class. He was so sweet to me, and so excited to have me at school. I wish I had taken my camera, but I didn't think about it at the time. So no pictures!

Halloween Carnival

Tuesday night was the ward Halloween Carnival. Our boys love this every year. They get to run around playing games and getting treats. Who wouldn't love it? This is Michael with two of his buddies, aren't they cute.

He was my little buddy this year and we had so much fun playing all the games!

Carson was running around like crazy playing the games. He loved it. Especially the cake walk. I know he got at least 4 cupcakes.(No that's not frosting on his cheek! He got his face painted.)

Isn't my Blake the cutest!

More treats!

I've been wanting to try to make dipped pretzels, so I finally braved it this week. I wrapped them up all cute for the ladies I visit teach. They definitely weren't professional, but they turned out better than I thought they would. And they weren't very hard. It is probably something I will put on my try again list!

The boys were trying hard to make it look like they were SO yummy!

Neighborhood Party

Last Friday we went to a little neighborhood party. This was the first time the boys got to wear their costumes out.
They had so much fun running around with their friends pretending to be Star Wars guys.

Halloween 2008

O.K. I'm too excited, I just can't wait. And since we have already had two Halloween parties, with another one tonight. I'm going to have to post pictures eventually. So here is their cute picture I had taken the other day!

Obe Won Kanobe(sp?), Yoda and Anakin

Just being a little Crafty!

Yesterday I was taking dinner to my neighbor, so I decided to copy this idea from a craft blog. My boys loved them!

If you decide to make these, be careful, because this is what the end result is!

Honorable Mention

Carson entered a photo into reflections this year. It was chosen for an Honorable Mention Award. And yesterday they had the awards assembly. I had told him he was going to be getting an award for his photo. So he was kind of excited.
This is him on stage after he got his little medal, showing off his photo. Doesn't he look so tiny next to all those older kids!(He's in the yellow)

Before the assembly Carson was kind of disappointed that he wouldn't be getting one of the trophys. But, as we were walking out after the assembly Carson was so proud of his medal. He said "Mom, I feel like a winner." That's the spirit!

Carsons First "late night"

Last Wednesday Carsons friends mom(follow that?) called and asked if he could come over for a "late night". Since it was UEA the next day we let him go. They watched the new Indiana Jones and had a pillow fight.(Something I thought only girls did, but I guess 5 year old boys do too!)

He got home before nine and said he had a lot of fun. Just one more thing to show me how grown-up my little man is getting!
