HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

This year we tried something a little different. A lot of our friends here dress their families all the same theme, like all the characters from a movie or something like that, so we thought we'd give it a try. Our theme was Future Careers for Our Boys.

Here are some shots before our ward Trunk or Treat Party.

Nash wanted to be a construction worker just like his Dad.

We had fun finding a tool belt and getting him a real tape measure for the event. He even got to dress up for school and tell his class what he wanted to be when he grows up.

Jacob was a fire fighter. He was so funny wearing his costume - he would hardly move his arms, so he looked more like a choir boy. I don't think he liked the material of his coat.

Logan was a very cute pirate. Yes, this very well could be his future career - the little scavenger. He didn't understand what Halloween was until the candy started pouring in, then he didn't care - he just stuck his bucket up there for more and more candy.

Here are our boys.

I love Nash's and Logan's facial expressions here.

Here is Jacob with his choir boy pose.

Funny boys!!!!

Here they are the next morning going through their loot.

Ragan and I realized one thing the next morning - Nash is like me in at least one way. Take a look at how he is sorting his candy. Everything had it's own category: suckers, chocolate, chewy, hard, etc... He had fun organizing his stash from the

Trunk or Treat.


We had a fun Halloween, but the boys just don't understand why mom is so glad that it is over. Yeah, now I can start getting ready for my favorite holiday: Christmas!!!

I've already started listening to Christmas music.
