Pumpkins & Halloween!

I'm finally going to update my blog again.  Sometimes I feel like it is way easier just to post pictures on facebook. 

We have had some fun adventures this past October.  We took Preston and Spencer to a pumpkin patch and I think Preston really liked it.  He kept trying to pick up pumpkins larger than him. It didn't work too well.  

 We really thought that Preston would like riding in the wheel barrel but after a couple of minutes he kept signing "all done" because he really wanted out.

Carving pumpkins. We bought a bunch but only ended up carving this one. 

 

Preston loved every minute of carving it.

This year for Halloween I decided that we would dress up as characters from the movie Toy Story.  I decided that next year I am starting a whole lot sooner because they took forever to make. 

We went to our old ward's Halloween party.  It was really good to see everyone and we miss them.

Preston was woody for Halloween.  When I first bought his hat he hated wearing it.  One day we were watching his favorite show, Caillou, and he was wearing a fireman's hat.  All I had to do was point out that Caillou loves wearing his hat and he instantly like wearing it.  

Sam's Buzz Lightyear costume took forever to make.  I used while foam board that I found at the dollar store and I used some ideas from this website: http://mojoturbocostumes.wikispaces.com/Buzz+Lightyear+Costume.  One day I'm going to learn how to sew so I can make even better costumes, but I think they turned out pretty good.

Cute little Spencer as bullseye the horse.

My sister and her husband were Woody and Jessie a couple of years ago so I just borrowed hers.  It was so nice that I didn't have to make it.
