October Comes and Goes

 Wow! This cute skeleton is 11 months old. Can you believe it? I think I am just not ready to accept it. He crawls all over the place, stands alone...with a little encouragement, he'd be walking. But we are no dummies. We have not encouraged it. So, instead he is the fastest crawler ever!

 Esaias loved getting the house ready for Halloween. The ghost lights were one of his favorites....accept he then tells me, he's afraid of a shadow down the hall.

 I had parent-teacher conferences, and was very busy with report cards too, so Danny had to hang with the kids on his own a lot this month. He's a great Dad! But I am sure glad to have that all behind me now.
 Isaac claims our brown recliner as his own. It's not his, but somehow he thinks it is. Maybe he is a little Martin after all. (I definitely see signs of Grandpa & Grandma Martin here!)

 This is the first night of dress up! Thank goodness for 4 totes of Halloween costumes, because with Mom so busy at work, costumes didn't get bought or made this year. This was all pulled together in about 30 minutes before our Ward Fall Festival. Woo Hoo!


 Woody from Toy Story makes another appearance at our house 10 years later!
Pocahontas and the Gandalf puppy made another appearance as well.
 Oh yeah, this one is totally new...Victor Krum from Harry Potter! Made up from many other peices of other costumes. It actually worked quite well. And the personality fits well too!

 And what better than Uncle Eric, Auntie Lindsay, Davis & Baby Jace going with us to the festival? That was fun!
 Black frosted cupcakes...yikes!
 And for a kid (Davis) who doesn't like candy...he sure doesn't shy away from cookies and cupcakes, or trick or treating for candy for that matter. He was all over getting those goodies from the trunk or treat in the parking lot.

 Here's a much tinier skeleton. Isn't he cute....yeah Eric's alright, but that baby....oooh he's yummy!
 2 peas in a pod. Maybe that should've been their costume!

 Love this skeleton...he's pretty yummy too!
 Big brother thinks so too!

Marina wore her costume to school all day, and got lots of compliments. Esaias cried for 20 minutes about not being able to wear his costume to Timi's (daycare). Thank goodness he recovered. He was an absolute angel trick or treating. He walked and rode in the stroller, and was very pleasant to be around. I think he is finally showing signs of getting past some of this 3 year old stuff.
If you can't beat them, join them! Isaac decided that if he had to go trick or treating with the family, instead of being able to go with friends, that he'd join the party, by sporting his cowboy get up.
 Oslin was not really a fan of this costume. If he could have gotten the hood off, he would've. At least it kept him warm while trick or treating. He was very cute in the car on Halloween morning. We were listening to Halloween music. When the song from the Wizard of Oz came on, "The Wicked Witch is Dead" he started clapping and laughing. It was very funny and cute.


"Reach for the sky!" Esaias also kept calling himself Buzz Lightyear. I guess to him they are always together. His special bedtime blanket has Buzz and Woody on it.
Oooh, and the joys of digging in and staying up a little late to eat candy! Doesn't get better than that! Sure love these kids!
