Halloween

For Halloween my son decided to be stubborn and refused to wear any of the costumes my sister had ready.  He cried and cried so I took them all off.  Then he saw my niece's hairbow and decided to wear that instead.  He wore it forever and wouldn't take it off.  Too cute.  Oh yeah, and here's a recent picture of me.  I went as a mom who does her hair and makeup every morning, because that is definitely not me.  Apparently I need to learn how to do my makeup better.  Yikes.

Halloween

These pictures of my son are from my sister's camera.
We had a family halloween party and IV was adorable!
As you can tell, he wasn't always so happy. But he is still cute even through the tears!
The whole party just tuckered him out. He slept through all the noise and even having people take pictures of him using their flash. What a little trooper!

Happy Halloween!!

For Halloween Stephen and I hadn't planned on doing too much. We had bought some candy to pass out but that was going to be about it. Then Stephen ended up helping a guy we know do some remodeling projects to his home. We both trekked on over, Stephen laden with tools, me laden with the coveted bowl of candy. I was kinda bummed that I couldn't help out with any of the remodeling but I did get to sit outside and play with my husband's Iphone! Really, what could be any better. Here there are working away hard and fast.

There was some time to spare before it would get dark and the trick-or-treaters would be coming out in droves and so I went around taking pictures of the neighborhood. This is a few streets over from where we live so you can kinda get a feeling of what it's like. Even though at the particular house we were at there weren't many trees, most houses have huge trees out front and I love driving down tree-lined streets. You just don't get that in Arizona. It's a lot colder here than it is for the rest of my family and there are actually signs that it's fall here!

I love how pretty some of the colors are.

I sat outside for quite awhile playing with the Iphone and we got a total of four trick-or-treaters. Yep. FOUR. That's it. I was really hoping to get rid of more of the candy but to no avail. We had three kids come dressed as Thing One, Two and Three and then another little boy came much later. I could hear many of the kids who were so excited to be dressed up coming outside and then the family would load into their vehicle and take off. How disappointing! We even had one vehicle pull up to us and then decide our load wasn't worth the effort and drive away. Drive-By Trick-or-Treating?!? What has this world come to? And now I'll just have to eat all the candy myself.
