Halloween & Fall Pics!

We had a great Halloween yesterday! At lunch time Grandpa Mike came over and had lunch with us. He brought Logan 6 snickers and 4 of them were gone by the time Dave got home from work. Logan and Grandpa got to play trains and had a fun time! It was great to see him.

Logan was devastated at the idea of carving our pumpkins, so we didn't this year. We'll just leave them on the steps to decorate until Thanksgiving is over, or until they rot. They made for a cute photo shoot though! Logan lined up the pumpkins and wanted to sit in the middle of them.

We had to take a few breaks from posing to crunch in the leaves, but over all we got some good pictures. He had fun picking his costume and telling everyone that he was a fire man!

I asked Logan to say "candy!" and this is the silly face we got with candy.

We went to the trunk or treat at our ward building and Logan had so much fun! The first 5 cars, he was pretty shy, but once he got the hang of it, he would say "Trick or Treat" and even "Thanks" when he got candy. He was very honest too, only taking one at a time.

After Dave and Logan did a round, they came back to the car and helped hand out candy. After that we drove back to our street and trick or treated the old people on our street. One lady had a whole scary show she put on for Logan (she was dressed as a witch). After a few minutes Logan decided she wasn't giving him candy, so he started trying to give them to her! The lady was so impressed she gave him a stuffed animal along with his candy. He was very impressed with the whole concept of the night!

This morning Logan and I decided to go play in the leaves! Usually at this time of year we have tons of leaves, but this year, they're still hanging on the tree. So we raked the whole yard so we could have something to play in.

He would run back and forth in the leaves yelling "CRUNCH!" Then I would tell him to take a picture, and he ran right over to the tree to pose.

I asked him to sit by my pumpkin and he started singing a song about pumpkins. He loves to make up songs right now. Most of the time it's about Dave, but this one was very fall-ish. It was so cute.

I couldn't get him to smile at me in this pose, there was just too much to enjoy.

We'll probably go finish up the leaves this afternoon with Dave and see if we can get a few good pictures of him sitting on the fence.

Other than that, we've had a fun week. Tuesday Dave's parents treated us to a Halloween concert put on by the Utah Symphony. She babysat Logan so we could go out. We grabbed a quick dinner before, and walked over to the concert hall. It was fun, and we got some great costume ideas for next year. I have to get Dave to commit to one, and I'll start sewing. Well, maybe in a few months. After the baby is born and he's sleeping through the night.
