Halloween Parties

My cousins invited me to their Halloween party at my aunt's house. 
Image
I was stoked, because I love those girls!!
I got the kids all costumed up--Dalton was NOT a fan of me trying to spray his hair white.

Image

Image
This Snow White dress that sits in my closet comes in handy, I tell ya. 
Literally threw it on, put a bow in my hair, added some red lips and a few curls and I was set!

Image
Addie made instant friends with Brynn :) She always finds friends wherever she goes. She'll talk to anyone pretty much. I have no idea where she gets this from.

Image

Image
 My cousin Andrea planned some cute activities and all the kids had a blast!

Halloween party, Take 2-- Grandma and grandpa Rees's house

Gotta love themed treats 

Image
Chad, Lacie and Skylee

Image
Bryan, Whitney and London

Image
This picture is AWE.SOME.

Image

Image
After all the crazy doc brown hair, it was time for a much needed hair cut

Image
His inner hippie died a little inside...He was not happy about it at all

Image
But he's so handsome. (It's already a lot longer than this a month later)

Image
Addie and her friends making halloween cookies. 

Image

Image
Then zoning out to Nightmare Before Christmas


 Preschool Party
Image
I volunteered to help, and it was fun
They were dancing like monsters here :)

Image
Best friends

Image
Preschool crew

Image
The willing trick or treaters

Image
and the non willing. That monster costume stayed on for as long as it took to snap these two photos..

Image

Image
It was a lot of fun! 

I tried to upload some fun pictures of Ashley and I as the wicked witch and the good with as well as Jed as Marty and Dalton as Doc, but blogger decided to cut me off and said I'm out of space!! JERKS!!

Other October stuff

October started off warm and full of outside playing...and then quickly turned into an on again off again 3 week long quarantine due to pink eye and cold bugs. I'm already annoyed with winter and it hasn't even begun. We did get some snow, and people acted like it's an anomaly, then it melted and they all moved on with life :)  Here are a bunch of random pictures from this month (sans Halloween parties, ya'll know that's GOTTA be its own post)

Image
Dalton and neighbor friend Luke pushing strollers down the street in the manliest of fashions

Image
always a good time...

Image
soup weather...how I love thee....I've made like 6 different soups in a couple of weeks. This broccoli cheese one didn't disappoint.

Image
Cinderella came out on blu ray. That should be documented apparently.

Image
Conference weekend, we made cinnamon rolls. It's tradition, and Addie loves it. 

Image
Dalton's new favorite hang out spot. Addie's bed. He looks at books and thinks it's cool that he can climb off and on there on his own.

Image
Addie's been practicing writing, mom, lately

Image
We also sewed on conference weekend. I made Addie a Halloween skirt, you know, like ya do.

Image
Dalton's been super busy chatting online with babes all day.

Image
and being cute

Image
....and getting pink eye...poor kid

 We went to the zoo! I think is the one place we went this entire month once all the strain of illness set in.
Image
Addie and Maggie by the elephants

Image

Image


Image
The sea lions were my favorite

Image
There's a baby giraffe and it's so cute!

Image

Image
who doesn't love a carousel ride? well he didn't, until it started moving. Then he said, weee..

Image
Birthday breakfast at Kneaders with Laura. These two don't know it, but we've arranged their marriage already. 

Image
K-9 police man day at preschool

Image
Addie and her friends mad a potion with leaves. Dalton supervised.

Image
City Creek with my sisters the day after my birthday. We stayed overnight downtown, got no sleep, and had tons of fun!

Image
Me and Ash..I didn't get a picture of the group, dang it.

Image
we thought this was fitting to watch for my birthday, but stupid marriott and their tvs wouldn't let me change the input so my bluray player would work. Yes, I brought a bluray player...

Image
Oh, and we painted nails. Like girls do

Image
Nice view eh?

Image
Not such a nice view...drunk dude at our door at 2am. Wrong room man!

Image
Picking out some pumpkins from a neighbor's pumpkin patch. Gotta love free pumpkins!

Image

Image

Image
Addie and Tristan are buds :)

Image
Whit helped me make Dalton's costume. Turned out great.

Image
Cutest little friends. I like them.

Image
Addie made Dalton a cubby on her bed while he was looking at books one day. 
We've been seriously so bored the past two weeks...

Image
Pumpkin painting!

Image
Addie had to pain a pumpkin for preschool, so I let Dalton paint one too. Because he's the second child and my brain was now mush from day 4 of literally not leaving the house for a second.

Image

Image

Image
You'd think I put him in a straight jacket when I put him in feet jammies....he was annoyed.

Image
Oh, and he's learned how to do this. Nice.

Image
After two nights of zero sleep for either of us, he finally slept..as we were walking into the Doctor's office. He woke up when the nurse took his temp and was not happy.

Image
Yay for antibiotics, ibuprofen and oragel. He's getting four molars and has a minor ear infection.

Image
and then he slept...from 7am-10am. on the couch. 

Image
Feeling better! ...and needing a haircut!

Image
What?? Who says he needs a haircut?! 

We've had a fun Halloween party-filled weekend. I'll post all the Halloween stuff together after the rest of those events have passed :)
