Happy Halloween!

Well, we participated in the age-old American tradition of Halloween tonight. Jack was in HEAVEN! All the family got into the action with Peter Pan themed costumes. (Tyler was Captain Hook, I was Wendy, Jack was Peter Pan and Sheridan was Tinkerbelle). We've been planning this since July. Thanks, Mom V. for the Hook costume! The kids were adorable and we all had a great time. We were able to do our ward "Trunk or Treat" and then hit up the old neighborhood for some treats. Sheridan had a fabulous time playing with our neighbor, Avery, who was a cute little ladybug. It was a really warm day and night, so no complaints here!

We also had a leaf-jumping pile raked this afternoon. Could a fall day get any better? Jack loves actively exploring his environment.

I've also included a picture of Jack with his pumpkin (he drew that face on the pumpkin by himself--I daresay a Picasso). He convinced our neighbor to give him a pumpkin and I was so embarrassed.






This last cute picture of Sheridan was from our open House. She was crawling around trying to eat other kids, but we captured this adorable pict. of her in one of her caps from Latvia (thank you, Inara!).

We did the peter pan thing last year. It was fun, I love doing themes, but my kids wouldn't agree on a theme this year.

You shouldn't be embarrassed about the pumpkin. You should be impressed with his power of persuasion! Once Brig convinced a neighbor kid the alphabet went abjdefghigglmnop. The other kid had been singing it correctly before. Eventually they both learned the alphabet, but the other kids still doesn't know about the art of persuasion.

Love, love, LOVED the Peter Pan Family theme. Maybe next year when Austin isn't already asleep before it gets dark and doesn't have pink eye we'll actually all get dressed up together and go trick-or-treating...you guys are our inspiration:).

I love how you guys dress up as a family. I remember jack being an crocodile and you and Tyler were the crocodile hunters when he was Kennedy's age. So cute! And I have to say that is the sweetest tinker bell I have ever seen.
