Happy Halloween

Halloween was so exciting this year because Cousin Dallin & Kensie were in town to share in the fun! Cameron was Darth Vader and Dallin & Kensie were skeletons.

We started out the night at the ward trunk-or-treat. Cameron was moving around so quickly that I failed to get any good shots. Cameron is making a candy necklace in this picture.

Then we headed out to terrorize the neighborhoods. Cameron didn't want to wear his mask nor carry his lightsaber--he thought the small glow stick made a very cool lightsaber.

Last year Cameron wanted to get to the door first and always be two steps ahead of Kensie. This year he waited for them and let them have a knock or two. Then Dallin chased a kitty right into a house...it was hilarious! Cameron did that a few years ago and it's embarrassing. The lady who owned the house did not seem amused.

Whenever we all get together for a "kid" function the adults out number the kids!!!! We all had a great time (my mom and Jamie are missing...they did not join us for round 2).

Really Steve....up your nose???

My pictures are a little out of order...too lazy to fix. This is from round one...Grandma and her three grandchildren.

I'm so proud of Cameron tonight...we dragged him every where and he did great!

When we got home Cameron was trying to sort his candy...he really enjoyed handing out candy and would give huge handfuls to the kids!!!

Cameron is very picky about candy and what he likes and doesn't like. I have him put in a plastic bag what he wants to give away. Look at his stash compared to the stash he does not want. Uncle Steve & Uncle David went to town on the giveaway bag.

Cameron got glow in the dark teeth!!! He attempted to run around and scare all of us. Cameron, you are too cute to be scary!!!

One last picture I promise...this was at one of the houses we visited...little disturbing!!!

Trick-or-Treat

I have to give BIG props to Christina Scouten for this adorable treat bag idea...I wish I could say I thought of it all by myself but that would be unfair. Check out her blog for directions and other cute quiliting ideas--Patches Quilt Works.

These bags turned out great...Grandma was nice enough to sew the bags, then she painted and applied the footprints. This year Cousin Dallin and Counsin Kensie are in town so, they will all be sporting cute trick-or-treat bags!!!!

Here is the final product!!!!! Thanks Christina!!!!!

Don't hold it by the stem!!!!!

Cameron has been learning about pumpkins all week at school. On Friday he went with his class on their first field trip to Maris Farms--Cameron had a blast! One of the first things he learned was not to carry or pick-up a pumpkin by it's stem. Well...today after church I told him we would carve the pumpkin...he got out a spoon to scrape the inside, he helped me lay out a brown sack for the mess and I grabbed the knife. After I cut out around the stem I went to pull it off, of course by the stem and it snapped off, "I told you don't hold it by the stem...now look at what you did." I had to think quick...Grandma came into the kitchen and said Cameron why don't you paint a face and then I had the brilliant idea to use the stem as the nose!!! Cameron had a great time painting and look at his masterpiece...the nose is pretty cool too!!!!!

It's getting closer...

Today between Conference sessions my mom got out the Halloween decorations and asked Cameron to help. He made his own witch costume, "mom, I think this is what I'll wear trick-or-treating." I'm thinking, NO--I just spent $22 on a Darth Vader costume and you can't return it!!! He lost interest pretty quick. We are very excited for Halloween because Dallin will be coming from UT and Kensie from CA to hang out and play. Ought to be interesting with ALL of us under the same roof. Hey, Vicki can I come stay with you for the weekend?
