Heelllllooooooo October!

Every time it comes, I decide this is my most favorite time of the year. The weather is cooler and crisper, it even smells good. Apple picking, pumpkin patches, bonfires. And Laila decided Trick-or-Treating was the coolest thing ever. We went over to the outdoor Mall close to campus with some friends, trick-or-treating from store to store. Laila would say "Trick-or-treat", receive a piece a candy and then look back towards me and Cameron in total unbelief, like, "Guys! That's all I have to do and I get candy for it. Every time. Best day ever!"

Apple picking with friends! Seriously, the apples were INCREDIBLE! 

Pumpkin patch

Bonfire at the beach.

At our playgroup's halloween party. We had an awesome turn-out! Little crafts and goodies for all the monsters, fairies and witches. 

Laila kept me company on our Youth's Corn Maze trip. She was a trooper!  Let me tell you, this turned out to be an adventure. We organized the trip, bonfire included, for all of the youth in our stake. Around 50 people total. My good friend and counselor and I carpooled over together. We get back to the car after making it through the maze, totally soaked and muddy,  and it wont start..ah!!!! We both have our one year olds with us, of course. Long story short, we end up riding a bus home with a bunch of drunk college students back to U of W, which is close to home around 1 am. The car still stranded, with a dead battery in a mud soaked parking lot. We had to laugh, it was one thing after the next. 

Trunk or Treating with Opa at Lala and Opa' s church. Laila's impromptu costume was one from Lala's costume box, made by Laila's great grandma. Pretty cute clown.

Hitting up the zoo for halloween.  Grabbed one of the warmer costumes out of our costume box. Blustery day. 

Tinkerbell. Ready for some serious Trick or Treating. 

Cute girls! 

Peter Pan, Wendy and Tinkerbell at our ward's trunk or treat. More candy :) and donuts. I think Laila learned the words for, "candy", "chocolate", "donut", "cookie" all in one week. Yikes! :)
