Happy Halloween, and other things!

Matthew and I got back on Wednesday from 3 glorious days at the Four Seasons in Scottsdale, for an Owner's Recognition Meeting (think AIG in Half Moon Bay!) put on by a company we represent. It couldn't have been better timing for me. My parents came down to take care of the kids, which made it sooo easy. I'm not sure who was more excited, or had more fun - my mom and dad or the kids. I'm pretty sure it was equally mutual! Matthew golfed, we both had massages, I had a facial and a luxurious mani/pedi - in between lounging around and reading/watching TV! Like I said, it was perfect timing. Now I'm ready for the next 4 weeks and whatever it brings (most likely a baby at some point!). I'm waiting for pics from my parents...I'm sure there are tons!


We carved pumpkins last night - you can't carve them a week or two before Halloween down here, like you can in Washington. They rot pretty quickly! Wyatt carved two pumpkins completely on his own this year! He was very proud of himself. Annabelle has grown in to being able to at least touch the goo inside the pumpkin! Last year, she had nothing to do with it...this year I was able to get her to scoop out some of the stuff!
This morning both kids had their Halloween parades at their respective schools. They are so excited for trick or treating tonight!

We grew our own pumpkins again this year, but Wyatt went to a pumpkin patch for a field trip with his Kinder class, so I felt guilty that Annabelle hadn't gone to one this year...soooooo, a little last minute, we went to a pseudo pumpkin patch down the street. I don't think Annabelle cared that much that it wasn't the full deal! She like the stinky animals and the hay!



Working on his first masterpiece!


Papa helping Annabelle out on hers!










The finished products!







Wyatt's are the two on the outside! Pretty good carving for a 5 year-old!


Captain Rex, the Clone!






It's just a little wet today...so unusual for here!




The princess, Cinderella!



We are heading over to Michael and Karyn's tonight for our traditional family pizza dinner before trick or treating! I'm sure there will be more pictures to come! Happy Halloween!














Yep, I was a pregnant nun, with my Ghostbuster hubby!
