I can't believe that Halloween has come and gone. We celebrated in style at the ward trunk or treat last Friday. Hunter had a ball waddling around as a little monkey. Instead of collecting candy from the people handing it out, he would approach innocent kids holding their own stashes in their little buckets, take what ever he wanted out and run away. The other kids didn't even know what was happening. Hunter would then approach the next unsuspecting kid, put in his last steal in their bucket and walk away. A very generous little monkey.
Being fun loving parents as we are Jared and I put Hunter to bed early last night before the trick or treaters starting coming by. We sat on our driveway in lawn chairs so no one would ring the door bell and handed out candy. I was amazed by how many groups of solely adults their were collecting candy WITHOUT any kids. Then there were babies sleeping in their strollers while their moms trick or treated. Of course these moms collected candy for their sleeping kid AND themselves. It was ridiculous. We gave these adults ONE tootsie roll each. What happened to parents staying in the background and letting their kids collect candy? Jared and I ended up coming in early because we ran out of candy. If we didn't provide candy for every adult in Glendale, we might have had enough to finish out the night for the sweet innocent kids.
Well, if you have read this far you get a treat. Here is the BIG announcement. Last week we went to the doctor for the gender reveal. Drum roll please....Jared and I have made ourselves another beautiful little boy!! (Notice that bow tie on the skeleton.) ETA still around March 7th, 2013. If Hunter had any comprehension of what was going on he would be ecstatic with joy.We sure are.
And just to show off Hunter's cuteness here he his.
I did it. Today I broke down and got my Halloween decorations out. I tried so very hard to wait, but it couldn't be done. Jared mentioned that I should wait until October to decorate, but Micheal's already has half their Christmas decorations lining their isles. I can't compete with that. When Jared gets home from class tonight, he will walk in and be amazed. I am trying to think of explanations to explain my early decorating, but truthfully there are none. Jared will just have to embrace Fall a little early. Luckily he loves me no matter what. Happy Halloween.
My favorite pumpkin that I bought last year when it went on clearance. I'll admit it, I have some sweet Halloween decorations.
