Halloween

I think that Halloween may be my favorite holiday because Lucas gets so excited.  He loves to dress up and take on all of the different personalities.  This year we he had to costumes and made plans on where is was going to wear it.  He was a little bummed he was not able to dress up at preschool, but they made monster necklaces to wear.  I was able to go help out at his preschool for their trick or treating, it was so fun to see him and his little friends.  The next day we had the church trunk or treat and he was dressed as Wolverine and Penny was a BYU Cheerleader.  Then on Halloween  night we were able to go trick or treating which is exhausting with a one year old.  Our plan was to leave Penny in the stroller, but she would not have any of that. So once I let her out of the stroller she would run up to the door and try to go in their house.   Penny has never met a stranger.  It was a great Halloween and I am sad it is over because this is just the beginning of the cold weather.

Right before trick or treating.  The pumpkin is Wolverine that Ned and Lucas carved.

After trick or treating with there loot and Penny finally held the pom poms.

My sexy husband after trick or treating can you believe he felt comfortable in that outfit.

Enjoying her first sucker, let the sugar coma begin.

My little monkey

One day a few months ago I came in and found Lucas this way. I thought it was so funny that he had used his short leg's foot to feed himself. I imagined that is what happened since there was food on his foot. Ever since this happened he continues to act like a monkey: hanging on my back, flying through the air, loud noises...You get what I am saying. So I knew there was only one Halloween costume for him, a monkey.
To celebrate Halloween we went to the church "trunk or treat". It was so fun to have Lucas really enjoy the holiday he loved dressing up, and loved wondering around to get his next piece of candy to eat. After that we headed inside for some food and dancing. I don't think the activities committee planned to have dancing, but when Lucas hears music he feels it through his body and he can't help himself. He danced and played the night away surviving on sugar alone.

Lucas loves all suckers, he does not discriminate

Halloween

Sorry that it has been such a long time since my last post. I know it is a little late, but I wanted to post pictures from Halloween. Lucas was a pea in a pod. We dressed him up for the ward party, and no we did not take him trick or treating although Ned wanted to in order to get some candy for him self. Anyway Lucas looked adorable and took on the role of pea very well. I imagine peas are mellow and that is how he acted.


This is a picture of the girls Lucas plays with almost everyday while I am at work. They are Rebekah and Hannah and they are SO CUTE!!!! We love that Lucas gets such great surrogate siblings.
