So for the past week or so, I have found gum wrappers at the bottom of the sink. Dishes are a daily thing in our house most of the time more than once... I'm sure all of you other mom's know what I mean. Anyways, there has been at least one wrapper in the bottom of the sink each time I go to rinse the dishes before loading the dishwasher. I couldn't figure out who was putting them there. My first thought was William, but he isn't tall enough to reach the sink, so it couldn't be him. Nicholas is really good at putting his trash in the garbage so I didn't think it could be him. So my last thought was Greg, now I guess I shouldn't think that my grown husband would do something like this, but he's done some weird things in the past... He also really likes the stride gum. Well, today my mystery was solved. And of coarse it was my first instinct. William, is my mystery wrapper man. I guess he is taller than I thought. I gave him a piece of gum and he went straight for the sink... It was so funny!
Looking good in their costumes right before we headed out. This year we went to trunk-or-treat and then we hit a few houses around our new neighborhood.
Halloween is one of my favorite times of year. I love to dress up. This year I wasn't really too creative, but I still dressed up. Nicholas picked out my wig. He was excited to see me all dressed up and really liked my eyelashes and sparkles.
We gave William a slight make-over... He had brown hair and eyebrows. Although you can't see it too well in the picture, it gave him a little more character... Some of the color still hasn't come out and he's had two bath's since then.
Nicholas in his BuZZ LiGHt YeAr Costume! He had a great time trick-or-treating... He even told me when we were done this year. He didn't say just one more house mom... It was great, we hit just the right number of houses not to be too worn out. William even enjoyed himself. This was his first official trick-or-treating.
Nick was excited to be able to try to carve his pumpkin this year by himself... With a little help! He choose to do a smiley face on his pumpkin. He carved out the nose all by himself. Mommy helped him with the eyes and mouth.
William helped both Greg and I to get the insides out of our pumpkins. He wasn't quite sure about sticking his hand in the pumpkin, but after we gave him the little scooper he was just fine. He had a good time flicking pumpkin all over...
We only had a small mess to clean up! Those are my favorite kinds of messes, the ones that don't take long... We will reveal our faced pumpkins on Halloween!

We played a few games, some which includes a trick or two...
And we decorated cookies.
Thank-you to all of our friends that came to have Fun with Us!
Every year we go to the pumpkin patch to pick out pumpkins. This year we tried a new farm we haven't been to yet since we started this tradition. We visited the Remlinger Farms in Carnation. We went with two sets of our new neighbors. It was a spur of the moment thing and it was fun to get out and get to know some of our new neighbors too.
Nick and his size of pumpkin. "It's my sizes pumpkin!"
Trying to carry the pumpkin to mom & dad!
I promised Nick we would ride on the hay ride, so here we are... He had a good time, but Hailey sure didn't!
