Halloween 2016

-
This year we got a bit of a late start on carving our pumpkins.  We ended up carving them the night before Halloween.
Given the time constraints, we opted for easy pumpkins.


Halloween was on a Monday this year.  Right after I picked the boys up from school we met the family at Gran's house for dinner.





Will as Superman.


It was a perfect night.  It was pleasantly warm outside and there was no rain.  Will stayed in the carrier the whole time and didn't fuss at all. Gran, David, Sharon, Henry, Mason, Chelsea and Cade came with us.

The boys had a good time. We went back to our old neighborhood.  We stopped by the "spooky house" where a life sized gorilla lunged at me causing me to scream.  We stopped by our old house. The new owners are way more fun than we were on Halloween.  They got all dressed to hand out candy.  

Last we stopped at Mrs. Raymer's house.  This was Finn's Kindergarten teacher last year.

Today we woke up at 6:30 to prepare for our big day at Universal Studios Islands of Adventure. The shuttle from the hotel left for the park at 8:00 meaning that we had to be downstairs and ready to go at 7:45. At 7:30 we realized that we had to book our spot on the shuttle the night before. Oops. For two people with jobs requiring close attention to detail we completely fall apart in our personal life. Fortunately we were able to purchase a ticket and catch the 8:00 shuttle anyway. The shuttle ride was interesting; we ended up sitting behind a young couple that could have left about 90% of their PDA in their hotel room and it still would have been too much for my taste. When we got to the park we noticed our ticket required that we show I.D. Well, I didn't bring my purse with me. Oops. After reading and rereading the fine print, we lawyerly types figured out an interpretation that would allow me to get into the park without producing photo i.d. We geared up for the fight

Wednesday night I got a strange phone call from Michael; he asked if I could get an ice pack and a couple ibuprofen ready for him.  Check it out . . .   He went to the doctor Thursday morning and came home with a boot, a pressure sock and a pair of crutches.  Looks like he will be out of commission for approximately two months.

On Sunday morning we slept until 9:30!  Finn was up with the sun, of course, but Sam slept until a little after 9:00. When we got up the sun was shining so we decided to hang the boys gourd bird house from Mr. Gene.  So far we have really enjoyed going to church on Sunday night.  Finn specifically told me that he likes night church better because he can get up and play.  The boys had a pajama party at school today.  It was in honor of Ms. Jenn's last day before maternity leave.  Finn was very excited to show his friends his godzilla feet. Big morning for Finn.  Last night was the first night that we have not put a nighttime pull-up on Finn.  He woke up with a dry bed!
