Halloween

We had a very fun Halloween!  During the week we went to a couple of Halloween story times where they did puppet shows and sang songs about pumpkins and fall and all that fun stuff.  All the kids wore their costumes and they were so cute, my favorite being Superman of course (aka Jackson).  Wednesday night the youth in our ward had a Halloween party for mutual and the adults had to dress up, so I threw together a Bee outfit, complete with duck tape stripes. :)  After I got all dressed up and was leaving for the activity, Jackson said to me, "Bye Bzzzzzz!" - that's what he calls bees- bzzzzzz's.  He thought it was pretty funny that I was all dressed up as a Bee.  Friday I got Jack dressed in his costume and we rode the Max into town to eat lunch with John and get some very yummy and warm carmel apple spice cider from Starbucks to warm us up since it was cold and rainy during the day.  That night we took Jack trick-or-treating to some of the members houses in our ward and around their neighborhood, and he absolutely loved it!  At first, after the people would put candy in his bucket he would say, "Thank You!", but then he would just stand there and wait for them to put more candy in.  Eventually he got the idea and would run up to each door and knock until someone came and then throw on the charm :) They all loved him, and I have to admit he was pretty darn cute in his costume complete with Lightning McQueen rain boots that he insisted on wearing.  We didn't really get the best pictures cuz we made the mistake of waiting til that night to take them, but here's the ones we did get:

and here's my costume
