The Last of Halloween

I am finally getting around to putting up our last Halloween pics...now that it's December :).  We borrowed a costume this year for Trey- he was fluffy and green, and I loved it!  He didn't mind it either after a week of getting him accustomed to wearing it. 

 Wow, there's a lot of houses to cover!

 He had the whole trick or treating thing down this year.  Once he realized he just had to knock on the doors and they'd give him candy he was all over it!  He was a kid on a mission.  He didn't even try and eat his treats in between each house.  He just wanted to collect his share of loot...and boy did he ever!  We only took him around our neighborhood and stopped when mom and dad got tired.  Trey could've gone on all night, but we had more stops to make.  We visited Dale's parents and my grandma so they could see Trey in all his awesome frog glory.  Definitely the highlight of the night :)

We're still trying to figure how we want to deal with the aftermath of Halloween...meaning that pumpkin full of treats he collected.  I don't really know what we want to do.  This year Dale just threw it out after a couple of days.  Guess he got tired of Trey asking for it.  Anyway, Halloween was lots of fun!  

Lions and Tiger and Bears, OH MY!

This year I shopped early for Trey's Halloween costume and found the cutest little tiger costume I'd ever seen.  Up until I found it Trey was going to be a monster.  Even he loved the tiger costume though...at least he did the first 5 times I made him try it on :).  I just couldn't get enough of him waddling around in it.  The tricky part was deciding what Dale and I were going to be to match him for Laura's annual family Halloween party.  We ended up as "Lions, and Tigers, and bears, Oh My!"    

Trey on Halloween night...we went to Carl's Jr. for dinner...yummy french fries! :)

On our way to trick or treat!

Enjoying the loot :)

Halloween Dinner

This year we decided it would be fun to do a Halloween dinner at our place.  Well, actually we ended up having 2 Halloween dinners at our place.  They were so fun to plan!  I used most of the same decorations for both dinners, so I've kinda mixed the pics, but here they are!

Of course our camera was out of batteries, so I had to steal most of these pics from my friend Jessi. 

Dale was Pongo, Trey was Spot, and I was Cruella DeVil :)

Erin was Princess Peach, Brett was Luigi, and Blake was Yoshi.  I love it!  This pic. of them is super cute too :)

The Millers were the Little Red Riding Hood crew!  I love this idea!  Jessi was the grandma, Ryan the woodcutter, Gracie was Little Red Riding Hood (holding an ax of course :) and cute little Coby was the wolf!  Cute costumes!

 Pongo and Spot :)

Halloween...a year later

Last year I was prego during halloween and was feeling a little...well, actually ALOT nauseous.  So, my pics never made it onto the blog.  I wanted to add them when I was feeling better, but by then it was January, and Halloween was LONG gone.  Here it is October again and I've decided, what the hey, I'm gonna post them!  So, here we are in all our Toy Story Glory:

I didn't get a ton of pictures...another result of being prego :), but I'm glad we got these!  Dale came with me to my school Halloween Parade too.  He was a big hit :).

Pasta, Passion, and Pistols

Meet Mr. Rocco Scarfazzi...a "legitimate" money launderer and outstanding businessman, twin brother to the murdered Pepi. 

 Not only that, but he was the fiance to yours truly...the equally amazing Tara Misu, caretaker of ALL of Rocco's assets, and the mother of his twin brother's baby (apparently all the characters were pretty scandalous...glad we weren't sitting at the Bishop's table...awkward :).  

Dale and I went to our ward Murder Mystery Dinner Saturday night, where we were pleased to find out, after much debate and accusations, that neither of us were the murderers.  

A"MAZE"ING Corn Maze

Last week we spent our FHE with the Millers at the oh so wonderful West Jordan Corn Maze.  This corn maze was pretty fancy, let me tell you- it was NOT your average corn maze.  For starters, it was in the shape of a dragon...and it had 10 posts where you could answer a question, and depending on if you got it right or wrong, it would help guide you to the end.  AND, not only that, but you could also win a grand prize if you got your card punched at every post.  That's what we were going for.  We were pretty excited about the prize...apparently our group is very competitive.  We treked through the corn without too much trouble, and with the help of our good friend Google, answered most of the questions correctly too.  When we made it out we took our ticket to the Prize Station, and they gave us our grade...70 percent.  I guess that's not too bad considering all the questions consisted of random facts about Halloween.  I must admit I was pretty impressed with Jessi's Halloween knowledge.  I think she got most of the questions right :).

A few pics from our fabulous Corn Maze Extravaganza:

Apparently it was pretty dusty...

And the Grand Prize is???????

You got it, 2 bowling passes to Fat Cats...not to be used on weekends, and doesn't include shoe rentals.  Gotta love it :)  That's our next date night...of course, the Hymers will have to join us this time :)
