We had a super fun time at the Dino museum with Whitney, Finn and adorable baby Holland.

We bought this skeleton guy at Thanksgiving Point. He was sitting next to Monet on the way home and she said to him, "Hey Mr. Skeleton, would you like some soup when we get home? Yeah? Yeah you do? OK sure." She was loving him yesterday, (she's even holding his hand in the photo.) But then she woke up in the night talking about the skeleton, which made me think maybe it's secretly scaring her! So I put him in the basement til next year.!

Just between you and me, I am ready for Halloween to come and go. After Halloween Disneyland, watching the Nightmare before xmas 40 times, Halloween decorations up since Oct 1st, multiple visits to cornbelly's, pumpkin carving, carmel apple making, talking about Halloween costumes all day everyday... I'm Halloweened out!!!

Chloe went to Homecoming a few weeks ago. I can't believe it was her last one. Tear. It's so much fun shopping and putting her together for these dances. And since she is so easy to make cute, it makes it even more fun!

Last night we had a pumpkin carving party with the whole family, (except Riley who is in Montana.)

...

Monet is obsessed with The Nightmare Before Christmas. She watches the movie everyday. She has the toys. She wanted to be Sally for Halloween, but we couldn't find a costume small enough... Anyways we kind of had a Nightmare Before Christmas party.

Monet helped me make Jack Skellington cupcakes. This is everyone taking a pumpkin gut cleaning break and having dinner.
This is the pumpkin carving station. Chloe and Dylan are by far, no competition, the best pumpkin carvers!

Monet's self made cupcake. A little more sprinkles maybe?

And here are the pumpkins:

Sally made by Dylan.

Oggie Boogie made by Chloe and Dylan.

Jack made by Chloe

Monet sitting in between the pumpkins. It was the first thing she wanted to look at this morning when she woke up.

Sorry Larry, Grant, Wyatt and Shellie for not getting a solid photo of your pumpkins. Looks like you'll have to try a little harder next year to make it on the blog :)

Sunday afternoon we all went on a hike to Stewart Falls. The weather was gorgeous and the leaves were beautiful. Monet wanted me to carry her the whole time, which was a little tiring, but we had lots of fun. Chloe got some good photos.
