Halloween 2012

Sarah got a bead set for her birthday and made her dad this necklace Monday night.

Then we carved pumpkins! Sarah wanted nothing to do with cleaning out the pumpkins. But she was all about telling me how to carve it. 

She watched with her hand over her mouth most of the time.

Demon pumpkins.

 Barfing pumpkins.

Sarah got to wear her costume to school the day before Halloween.  Her class then went trick-or-treating to other classrooms in the highschool.  Check out her belt buckle.  It's my favorite part of her costume.  Or the vest I made.

So Henry loves his blanket.  He sleeps with it on his head a lot.  It used to worry me that he couldn't breath but clearly it works for him.  Plus it blocks out light for those long naps. 

Surprise, surprise, Henry wouldn't wear his Halloween costume. So he was just a handsome boy. This is the best picture I got of the two of them before Henry walked away and Sarah pulled her hat over her face.

We went to Mapleton for Justin's parent's ward trunk-or-treat.  I thought this would be best for Henry since he walks slow and not for very long.  He liked getting the candy and eating it but not carrying his bucket.

Then we took the kids to my aunt's house but before we went in, we hit up a few more houses because while trunk-or-treating is good for large amounts of candy in a small amount of time, it doesn't quite feel the same as knocking on doors. And heck, more candy.

 And we ended up carrying Sarah's bucket because it got too heavy.

Sarah used some birthday money to buy this cash register. We play pet store, grocery store, balloon store, bookstore, you name it store nearly every day while Henry naps.  She had me make name tags and we take turns being the cashier and the shopper.  Money well spent.

 The best thing about toys made in China: They come with toy Mike.

And today is my mom's birthday. I'm going to try to get her a new president.
