Our Halloween was really fun this year! The week of Halloween Paul had exams so he spent that time locked in our room studying! A week before Halloween I dressed Landon up in his Pirate costume and took him to the pumpkin patch with my mom, My goal was to get some really good Halloween pics of him, but I could not get him to stay still!
Here is Landon in his costume! He absolutely hated the eye patch and took it off immediately, along with the clip on pirate earring! Haha! So this isn't the greatest pic, but it has most of the pirate effect I was going for!
Here he is in his costume at the pumpkin patch. This was the best pic I got of him, but I think it's pretty adorable!
There was a petting Zoo at the pumpkin patch, so we went into that. He had so much fun and he knows the sounds that all of the animals make so he kept saying, "baa, duck, duck, cocka, cocka, bunny, baa, duck." It was so cute! Next to the petting Zoo were ponies, so of course we had to let him ride the pony!
The next day was Saturday, the week before Halloween, and a few days away from Paul's big exams. I got him to take a few hours off so we could go to a Halloween party! Our friends Kyle and Janelle throw one every year, and every year we couldn't go because of exams or something! So we finally went this year! We had to throw together last minute costumes, as it was a costume party...so Paul was a Dr, and I was a nurse! Haha, how original, seeing as how Paul will be called Dr. in 2.5 years! We had a great time and it was good to see friends from our old ward!
The night before Halloween, we went back to the pumpkin patch, and Paul was with us since exams were over! Here's Landon at the petting zoo, this time he was really fond of the bunnies...he even pet them!
After the petting Zoo, Landon rode the pony again, and of course loved it! He kept saying, "horse, horse," the whole time he was on it! Here's a family pic! I look kinda gross so I honestly don't know why I posted this pic!
The next morning, Halloween, we started off by going to the park. Paul had a flag football game. Landon of course didn't want to sit still and watch, so we went on the playground. After the game we came home, got lunch and put Landon down for a nap.
When he woke up we went here....
Our friend told us it was decorated for Halloween, and Paul has never been to the shark reef and we knew Landon would love it, so we got him dressed up and took him. This is our family pic before we went in.
Landon looking at the sting rays, he was kind of mad that he couldn't reach them to pet them.
Here's us in front of fish, except it was dark, and the flash on the glass....makes for not being able to see the fish! Landon really enjoyed watching all of the fish swimming around.
After shark reef, we came home, ate dinner then went to my mom's house so we could go trick or treating! Landon was so cute trick or treating. We would pick him up so he could ring the door bell, then we'd put him on the ground, and when someone would answer and open the door, Landon would run right into their house! It was so funny! He had a lot of fun though!
Here he is before running into the house, I never got pics of him actually running in because we had to get him out! Haha!
After trick or treating, we met up with our friends Kim and Nate, and went to Kim's parent's wards trunk or treat. After that we went to Kim's parents house for the remainder of the Halloween party that her mom threw. Her house was decorated so cute, we played a few games, roasted marshmallows, and ate good food! Landon jumped around on the trampoline at their house and had a blast...he kept saying, "jump, jump," and would signal Ireland, Kim and Nate's little girl to come jump with him! I wish I got pics or video of that because it was really cute! When the party was over we went and did some grocery shopping before it was Sunday. we were out in the parking lot talking with our friends, when suddenly, Nate just drove off. We turned and looked, and saw a teenager run out of the grocery store with a case of beer. So we got in our car, and between Kim and Nate, and Us, we had him caught! The kid got in dropped off the beer and got into a car. We followed the car to where they were going to retrieve the beer, and Paul grabbed it and got their license plate #, and the cops were called and the beer was returned. That's how our Halloween night ended! The End!
