Happy Halloween and all it's Craziness!

Here is how are Happy Halloween Day started....While I was taking a shower and my Boys were suppose to be watching cartoons....Aidan couldn't contain his excitement for the day any longer and as a release he decided to paint a mural on our stools with a sharpie! How lovely Aidan, what an Artist you are becoming! He was pretty proud of himself up until the spanking he got. And yes sharpies are pretty permanent since I haven't found anything yet to get it off, besides paint thinner and I'm not sure I'm that desperate to re-varnish my stools after I'm done. Soon after this incident I got the Boys ready in their costumes and we went to Nate's work party and had lunch with him. Then we were going to go to Corbin's Tumbling party, but the little tike's were already pretty worn out so we went home and took a cat nap. Then we got up and ready again in costumes and as soon as Nate came home from work we headed out to the Rec. Center for a Mayor's walk and Carnival. After that we went home and went trick-or-treating around our neighborhood and passed out treats to any tricker-treaters that hit our house. Then we went and got some Chinese Noodles and went to the Hotel ( Holiday Inn) for the night. The Boys had an awesome day and we all were happy and having fun! What a nice Halloween! And I have to say I think the little nap in-between activities really helped make it a better day. I do feel a bit bad we missed the Tumbling party because of the nap....but I'm sure we weren't missed much, and Corbin didn't even notice we missed it.

Here are my cute little Spookables! They had a wonderful Halloween and loved getting out and trick-or-treating!

Corbin as Spider-man! He was a pretty good Spider-man and even played the character all night long! Yes, we had to call him Spider-man too. It was fun to see how he interacted with other kids that were Batman or Superman, etc. They had all sorts of conversations and role playing back and forth. It was pretty funny and entertaining!

Ahoy Mateys! Aidan was an adorable Pirate and loved the attention he got from it. He was even trying to growl like a Pirate before the night was over. He was all for trick-or-treating when he figured out there was candy involved. He wouldn't talk to anyone though, not a big surprise, but he was pretty cute anyway!
First sorry for the sideways picture, for some reason my computer decided this was the only way it would upload it. I tried fixing it and over correcting it and all sorts of stuff and it still uploaded it sideways. Here we all are at the Mayor's walk and Carnival at the new Rec. Center. The Mayor's walk was around the building and as they went around they got to trick-or-treat from any local businesses that were participating. The Boys had a blast and had a whole stash of candy by the time we went home.
Here's my 2 favorite Boys...My Boys!!! This was just this morning, they looked so handsome and cute ready for church I had to have Nate take a picture. And we had a break-thru at church...Aidan stayed in Nursery the whole time without crying or going into panic mode when Nate left him in there! Hooray for Aidan....Great Job staying in Nursery!!! This is the first time he's stayed in there without problems in like 4 months! It's a huge break-thru for us and we are so happy Aidan did so good! Corbin and Aidan were good Boys during Sacrament meeting, but for some reason Primary is just tough for Corbin and the other Sunbeams. We have been practicing for the Primary Program coming up. Corbin means well to try and be good, but it's just plain hard to sit still in your seat and watch the practice of the Program going on for an hour when your part was at the beginning and now you just have to sit and wait it out till primary is over. I'm Corbin's teacher and it's been hard on all those little Sunbeams, but I've been proud to watch them get up and sing their little hearts out when it's their turn and to get up and say their talks with no problems. But until this Primary Program is over I think we have little chance of having those kids sit still and behave, I'd like to hope though for every one's sake and my sanity!
