Trick-or-Treat!

Aidan shed his transformer accessories quickly while trick-or-treating. I wasn't quick enough at getting a picture with everything on. We met up with Jen and Brandon (the dinosaur) and as you can see they couldn't go from house to house fast enough.

Harry was fine at first, but I was glad I took the stroller so he could sit during his breaks.


After 3 hours of trick-or-treating and me begging to go home - we headed off to find another neighborhood because Aidan insisted on going again (and Halloween only comes once a year) but about 3 minutes into the car ride - they were both gone.

a little accident...

I was reading on the couch while Aidan and Harry were playing and somehow Harry fell into the end table. It looked okay for a minute until I picked him up and the blood started flowin'. It was sooo sad! Aidan started freaking out and running around the house saying "its an emergency!" He helped me get a towel to try and wash it up a little bit, but the blood just wouldn't stop. I had to hold him over the bathroom sink while Aidan went to get the phone to call daddy. Aidan was really the hero of the day! He called Jeff and told him we had an emergency and we would meet him at the urgent care. Then Aidan kept saying "I don't know what happened! This should NEVER have happened!" It was really adorable seeing how concerned he was about Harry and it was really nice that he was able to help me in a situation like this. I just taught him how to dial 911 also so I had to make sure he called daddy and not 911. All the way to the urgent care, Aidan kept telling Harry that the shots were going to hurt soo bad, but they would give him a Bob the Builder band aid and it would make it feel a lot better. So helpful. :)

Harry got away with just having it glued together so hopefully that will be just fine. He was really brave. And while I was very concerned about Harry, I was really truly amazed at the way Aidan reacted to it all. He was very mature about it, he wasn't telling Harry how disgusting it was, just kept telling him that he was bleeding and we needed to go to the dr to get it fixed. He didn't wander around the house waiting for me to yell at him, he just did what I asked and then some. I was truly amazed. He is getting so big!

Hawk and a Hacksaw

This was such a fun night! We got to see my cousin, Heather and her band perform at the Urban Lounge on their tour through the states. They've been touring through Europe for quite awhile so we were totally excited to hear she was coming to Salt Lake! Heather is between me and Jess in the back - can't even see her lol You guys were awesome!

Heather Ricks, Carly, Jessica, Whitney, Amanda and Tanna partyin' at the Lounge

We all got in on Jess' self photo - op

Heather and the band - Hawk and a Hacksaw. Chris is playing the....guitar thingy, Heather on the violin and Jeremy on the accordian (Aidan is a HUGE fan!). You can't see the other guys too well.

Me and Jess!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Aidan picked out the pumpkin and I carved it. This was our 3rd pumpkin for the season and Aidan is currently at his 4th Halloween party. I finally have an excuse to get all giddy about the holidays - or rather, someone to blame it all on :)

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Apples!

I tried canning for the first time with our apples! I did some spiced apple rings and apple caramel butter. The butter is awesome! I hope to try the apple rings on Halloween in some cider...mmm....

Boys helping me wash the apples.

Lots and lots...and lots of apples....

Random Pictures

Jeff took a poor little boy's shark head. Maybe I should let him be a shark next year.

I came out of the kitchen to see this...I love it!

This is my cheese ball. Fresh from the bath.

And cheeseball #2 holding Harry. I mean..uh.....

Pumpkin Carving!

Aidan refuses to touch the inside of a pumpkin! When he wants to carve pumpkins it usually means "lets watch mommy carve and scrape out pumpkins". Fine with me! I love it!

When mom came up last week she bought a couple pumpkins for the boys so we could have some jack-o-lanterns.

Bob. Such a weirdo!
