Halloween

 

I loved Halloween this year! It is fun to see the boys get so excited and experience all these things for the first time (we did take them to a few houses last year, but obviously they weren't that into it). We went trick or treating to both sets of grandparents, then hit a neighborhood party and had some delicious donuts, and then we took them trick or treating around our little neighborhood. They were so cute standing there holding their baskets and trying to knock on the doors. They didn't say trick or treat, but just stood there and held out their baskets. I wish we would've gotten a picture of them at a door. The second the door would close, they wanted to see what was in the basket and taste it. It was funny! They were so excited to see their loot once we dumped their baskets out at home. Thankfully they went to bed surprisingly well considering the amount of sugar dumped in their systems. I loved every minute of the day. I just love our little family!

 

October- Part 2

Tearing down the bottom half of the mummy a few days later. Notice the cape from Grandma Eastman. Kegan loves that thing!

Carving pumpkins

They continued stirring the insides...

While Dad cut it

Coloring small pumpkins

They love looking at all the pumpkins sitting by the front door

Making cotton ball ghosts

We made witches hats and brooms. Don't worry we didn't give these away to anyone. They had their own "special batch" since they found it necessary to lick each cookie before decorating it.

Making sugar cookies was a three day process. We made the dough one day, and then cut them out and cooked them another.

We made ghosts out of suckers. Kegan is saying boo in this picture. haha!

This is them decorating their cookies. I was a little short on decorating supplies. They had sprinkles, chocolate chips, and marshmellows. Sounds delicious right?

October- Part 1

I've decided this once a month/picture overload blogging is my style. I can handle once a month! So be warned- there are a lot of pictures and unless you are these adorable little boys' Grandma, you probably don't care.

Of course we had to go to the pumpkin patch. It was cold and windy (surprise surprise), but the boys still had a lot of fun. They were way to distracted to look at the camera!

We made handprint spiders

We made goo or flubber. Whatever you want to call it. It is fun stuff! I love Braden's facial expression!

Kegan was a little unsure at first but he eventually got into it.

Made a pumpkin stamp out of sliced apples

Made footprint ghosts. They did the background all by themselves. So proud :)

They have been so into cooking lately! We got them a bunch of utensils from the dollar store and they love them.They will stir cotton balls and plastic food all day long! Making dinner takes 10 times longer because they always want to help.

Then they have to intently watch dinner cook.

We/I made toilet paper roll bats. They sure loved to see them hanging from the kitchen light.

We made a mummy.They both learned how to say mummy (which actually sounds more like money) and point it out to everyone that comes to the door. Its pretty darn cute!
