Howdy, howdy, howdy, howdy!

Conversation with Boston today:
Me: Boston what do you want Santa to bring you for Christmas?
Boston: Woody
Lance: What would you do with another Woody?
Boston: I'd say "Hi I'm Woody" "I'm Woody too" "Howdy, howdy, howdy, howdy"

Hmmm, I love this kid.

Meeting Santa

Friday we were at the Layton Mall doing a little Christmas shopping and guess who happened to be sitting in a big old chair in the middle of that mall?  Yep, Santa...before Thanksgiving...I'm not even going to start in on that one.  Anyway, Boston was dying to go see Santa.  He sat on his lap like a champ and told him all the things he wanted; Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Bullseye.  Next up, Brynlee,  she was scared to death of him and wouldn't say a word until Santa told her that if she didn't tell him what she wanted for Christmas than he wouldn't know what to bring her.  Then the list came out a million miles a minute.  Pinkie Pie, a talking Jesse, etc.  Gotta love it!

Brynlee is also at the age of asking a gazillion questions all the time.  Some of the more recent ones:  How is Santa going to open our fireplace (our fireplace is one of those gas ones that don't open, pretty smart question on her part if I do say so myself)?  How does he know when I'm sleeping?  Why is it snowing? Oh I could go on and on and on and on and on....but I wont :)  You also can't watch a movie with her without a question coming out of her mouth about every 30 seconds or so.  Sometimes I have to remind myself that she is in that "soak it all in" stage.  She definitely keeps me on my toes!  And if I can't answer her questions I usually say "we'll have to ask daddy and see if he knows" to which she almost always answers "Ya daddy knows everything"  Hahahaha always makes me laugh :)

SpOoKy, sPooKy, SpOOkY!

 Ah, Halloween, gotta love it.  Especially when you have a fun filled week of it! Phew, I'm just glad it's over :)

Up next the very scary, very spooky, very...okay just cute! Butterfly and Monkey!

Part I: Halloween playgroup.
The sugar cookies were a huge hit!  Mmmm!

Part II:  Preschool Halloween party!

She was so proud of her pumpkin :)

Part III: St. George

We decided to enjoy Halloween in sunny St. George with friends.  Good thing because from what we hear it was very cold and rainy at home. SO lets start out with the pumpkin carving. 

Oh the concentration...have you ever used a drummle  (sp?) to carve a pumpkin.  All I have to say is, SO MUCH EASIER!  And faster.  I'm sold.

On to the trick or  treating!

The cute little gang

Oh boy, the sugar is starting to kick in!

 She loved the butterfly facepaint.  Can you tell?

 And their favorite part?!  Not the dressing up, nope, not the candy...any guesses?!  The Toy Story game cards that they got at the trunk or treat.  Ha, who knew?  Goofy kids :)

Okay this might have been Brynlee's FAVORITE part of the night!  She loved handing out the candy when people would knock on the door!  Next year we're not going door to door.  We're just going to let Brynlee be in charge of our door! Awesome!

And lastly, the pumpkins.  They look pretty sad.  I should have taken pictures the day we did them instead of two days later...Oops.  But you get the point right?!  Mine's the owl on a tree branch.  And Lance's is the spider.  He was very proud of his spider :)

Happy Halloween to all!
