Trick-or-Treat

Trick-or-treating was fun this year. It's the first year Eli really got into it. He went out last year but he never said trick-or-treat and he didn't get super excited about the candy like he did this year. Eli wanted to be an M&M and it had to be the green one. As everyone knows the green M&M is the girl character which means we couldn't just buy the green M&M costume because all the green costumes had long eye lashes and sexy eyes- I didn't think that was appropriate for my little 3 year old boy. So with Charrisse's guidance I made his costume-not too hard. I think it turned out pretty cute and Eli really liked it.
First we went to a Trunk-or-Treat, Eli kept wanting to go back to all the cars that we had all ready been to-like he didn't get enough candy the first time around. Ethan is dressed as a little monkey. He wasn't too excited about the hood part being on his head and he fell asleep while Eli was making his rounds.



This is Eli getting ready to go out trick-or-treating that night in our neighborhood. We went to about 15 houses and then he was done. He was so tired from all the excitement all day long.


Halloween Party

Our annual Halloween party was great-as usual! Sterling made pizza, we carved our pumpkins, then we frosted sugar cookies and made caramel apples. We had 15 pumpkins and they all turned out really cute, we couldn't choose a winner for best pumpkin because they all looked so good.
