Halloween Party

It was the Hendrickson Halloween Party a few weekends ago. Caden is terrified of Halloween. Any time he sees any Halloween decorations he freaks out. Sam's Club has the scariest decorations. Right when we walk in the door of Sam's Club, Caden closes his eyes and hides his head until we are done. I feel bad for the kid, but it is kind of funny. Lucas thinks Emily and I traumatized him when we took him on the Terror Ride at Lagoon. I think it builds character. For Halloween this year I let him pick out his costume. He said he wanted to be a dragon so that was the costume we got. Before we went to the Halloween party he said he was bringing his blanket with because he wanted to be a ghost too. I think he brought it so he could keep it over his head the whole time and he wouldn't have to see the scary decorations. This is what he looked like in the car on the way over...

Halle, on the other hand, didn't want anything to do with costumes. She wouldn't put anything on so I figured the Halloween shirt from last year would do.

Mason was a very cute M&M

Neve was also cute in her costume. I can't believe she just turned 1.

This is Dallin as Mario...

Gracie was a cute Hannah Montana...

I thought the back of Caden's costume was adorable.

Lucas and Dave were brave enough to donate their bodies for the mummy game. Ella, Sam, and Kylee were big helpers.
The doughnut game is always fun.



And last of all, we decorated cookies...





This was the day I bid farewell to my trusty Camry. Now it is in the loving arms of Heidi and Eric. (I did shed a tear)

Kids say the funniest things

I never know what my kids are going to say. Here are some funny stories...

Caden: Mom, I pooed on the floor.
Me: Why did you do that?
Caden: I was trying to make my poo noises and it just came out.

He has also found a new love for winter hats...

Here's a funny story about Halle...

Lucas: Where are your toes?
Halle:(points to her toes)
Lucas: Where is your head?
Halle:(points to her head)
Halle:(points to her bum) And this is my tail.

I don't know why I found that so funny, but I could not stop laughing. She has never said that before.

She also likes to carry around this Ernie toy that is like 2 inches tall. She doesn't call it Ernie, she calls it "My Big Bird." Don't ask me why. If she loses it, she screams until I tear the whole house apart to find it. I wish she could find a bigger toy to love.

Go Jazz!!

We took Caden to his first Jazz game last night. He was very excited and he couldn't stop talking about it. He wanted to be the one to give his ticket to the ticket guy. He is very independent. He was really into it during the first quarter. The guy in front of us was very impressed that he knew all the players names. He kept yelling "Memo for three!" We've trained him well. He started going down hill at the end of the 2nd quarter and he was alseep by the third quarter. For a three year old I thought he did pretty well. I forgot to take my camera so I took his picture with his ticket this morning. He wasn't really cooperating. I know it looks like he has a disease around his mouth. He keeps licking his lips and he won't stop so it's irritated now. Does anyone have a cure for that? I can't get him to stop.
