Happy Halloween!

The MBA Spouses Association put on a great Halloween Party Thursday night. There were different activities for the kids to do. Alex had fun going around and participating. He was a little hesitant at first, but by the end was running around with the rest of the kids there!
Here he is fishing for ducks..ducking?

 Keith and I went as Zombies, and Alex was our 'Jock'...you know the quintessential character in all the Zombie movies, getting chased around? Well, we figured we chase Alex...you get it, right? :)
Alex was so excited at the end of the party when we finally let him have the balloons that were all over!

 Saturday night we went up to my sister Kim's house to go Trick-or-Treating...Alex was all warmed up from our ward Trunk or Treat the night before. After one house, he was ready to go all night...he thought this was probably the best idea we'd ever had.

 Eating some loot!

 Thanks Sara for dressing up and going around with us...it was so much fun!

By the end of the night, we were pretty tired. Alex was excited about all his candy, and he was NOT going to let go of his bucket! We got into the car and it was a bit of a fight to get him into his carseat letting go of one hand at a time, so that he still had that bucket close by! He luckily fell asleep before we got home and the candy was hidden away. He does enjoy getting a treat each afternoon, but does not get as much as he would like!

It was so fun to see our little boy standing there waiting patiently at each door for them to open up and give him candy. He was also very excited about the neighborhood dogs barking all night long as we walked around. He tried to run into one house to get to the dogs that were kennelled just inside the door.

We finally carved our pumpkin last night for FHE, Alex drew the face, and Keith carved it. We toasted up the pumpkin seeds, and surprisingly Alex likes them! I think it turned out pretty good! Thanks Aunt Alaura and Uncle Rulon for the GORGEOUS pumpkin!
