HaLloWeEn

Everyone was in the Halloween Spirit this year, everyone except Mom! Dave was a bowling nerd, Katelyn Dr. Evil, Aubrey a princess, (she definitely has the hair for it!) and Andrew a Firefighter.  The family all dressed up for our annual Ward Halloween party.
Katelyn wanted to be Dr. Evil this year.  Everyone was surprised by her pick, they thought she was too sweet to be evil.  I think she had a great idea and she executed it well.  She was very scary, all her little friends loved the body parts!
The kids had a lot of fun with their costumes.  After a visit to the Braegger house (Thanks Heather!), the kids decided that it would be fun to dress up in something new. LtoR: Andrew (skunk), Aubrey (bunny) & Jensen (ghost).
We all love the skunk costume.  It has been a favorite in the Braegger household and ours!  Aubrey was the skunk a few years ago and still remembers it.  I think this costume couldn't be more fitting for Andrew, he is a little stinker!
Kids getting ready to head out for Trick or Treating.
It was a rainy and cold this year.  Dave and I have a understanding.  If it's a cold year for Trick or Treating, he's taking the kids out.  I am not one who likes the cold.

Let it snow... I don't think so!

Andrew wasn't so sure about our first snowfall this year.  I just had to get his reaction on camera.
After this video footage, Aubrey took Andrew by the hand and took him outside into the snow.  Andrew was just fine until Aubrey let go of his hand and he realized he was surrounded by the white stuff.  He started bawling.  I was standing at the backdoor just watching the drama unfold.  I didn't have any shoes on so I yelled to Aubrey (who had already wondered off) to come and help her brother back inside.  Andrew was safe once more!

Pumpkin Season

We were given a bunch of small pumpkin's from our friends the Stowe's.  The kids had a lot of fun with them and enjoyed sharing them with our neighbors.

Pumpkin Girl!

We enjoyed paining our pumpkins.  Painting pumpkins is so much easier to do than carve pumpkins especially when you have little kids.

Dave always has a Utah Utes pumpkin every year.  Go Utes!

Katelyn painted a pumpkin for her teacher and one for me.  Mine was pink with red and purple polka dots.
