Ethan and his friends were determined to hit every house in our neighborhood.

Our friends, the Dent's joined us for some Halloween lasagna and trick or treating. We are definitely making this a tradition! Shawn's parents joined us for dinner as well and handed out candy while we went around the block.

Everyone sits outside to handout candy to the neighbors.

It was a beautiful night to enjoy being outside.

 

Libby was a beautiful butterfly. My friend Paige and I made tutu skirts for our little girls. They were so easy and fun to make. To bad Libby didn't love wearing it, or her wings. Sad. And of course she had to pee like 8 times while wearing her costume! I think she did that just to annoy me! Wink!

Trunk or Treat at the church.

And a few of my festive Halloween decorations. Which are all down now! On to the next Holiday. Hello Thanksgiving!

October

 Camping at Mormon Lake, taking an ice cream break.

 Rain Gutter Regatta Ice Cream

Oh my gosh! Is time time flying by? Or what! Sniff. Sniff. So a little catch up for October.

We started out the month with camping up Flagstaff. We wanted to go somewhere where it would actually feel like fall. It was so fun. We went to Mormon Lake and had ice cream, said hello to the buffalo's, hiked, had a campfire and even roasted smores! It was freezing at night. We skipped fall and experienced winter. It was a little odd being cold after being soooo hot for so long. We relished the feeling and bundled and cuddled up!

Hayden had his first rain gutter regatta in cub scouts. All the boys made boats similar to the pine wood derby and then they race them in actual rain gutters by blowing on the sails. Its always a fun event. The boys favorite part of the evening it when they empty the rain gutters and we fill them back up with ice cream and toppings! and let the boys and siblings go crazy. We also made a trip to the Fire Station with our scout den and friends from another troop.

Both of the boys started flag football in September. We have practice or a game every day except Friday and Sunday. Its so fun. We love being at the park and hanging out. Its been a great season so far. Ethan and Hayden are both on good teams and have been winning every game!
