Halloween

I feel like I haven't blogged in forever--I'm so glad that Jaren decided to do the last post and get everything up to date. October was an insanely busy month, but so fun. I am also glad that Jaren left out a little "incident" that happened at Sea World. I had a crazy-mad moment with a worker there and it was kind of like an out of body experience--I felt like I was watching myself and not believing the words that were coming out of my mouth! Looking back, I feel a little ridiculous and now my sweet little brother-in-law probably thinks I'm loony and Jaren has a whole new definition of "Kari when she's mad". I'll spare you all the details, especially the part where I lost it, but it had to do with one worker saying that Noah was tall enough to ride a ride there, Noah waiting in line for an HOUR--and it was his birthday, no less-- and another worker pulling him off the ride as he's about to get on and saying that he was too short. Jaren loves to imitate me now, and I'm almost to the point where I can laugh about it--almost.

This fall has been so much fun. The weather was so warm--even on Halloween you could trick-or-treat without a jacket. I don't remember ever being able to do that.

My cute little Tulip Fairy

This is BY FAR my favorite costume Noah has ever worn, and he even picked it out!

Noah and his buddy Ethan had the same costume at the ward Trunk-or-Treat. They both looked so cute!

The next few are at Thanksgiving Point's Barnyard Boo. They set up a bunch of games and activities at the petting zoo. They both LOVED the balloon animals, and we were shocked when Noah not only agreed to frost a cookie, but he licked the icing off the popsicle stick! It was a fun night--we will definitely go back next year.

The headless horseman made an appearance at the wagon ride. I thought it was pretty cool.
One thing I didn't get pictures of was the Haunted Canyon Train Ride on the Heber Creeper. I really liked it, but I have to say it was a little bit scarier than I thought it would be. As the train went along, they told ghost stories and you'd look out the window and people would be acting them out. On the way back, all of the actors got on the train and let's just say Noah did not like that at all. He was pretty scared and kept telling them to go away. I wish I had pictures of that, but it's pretty normal for me to forget the camera.

Playing with some Halloween masks

These are some cupcakes I made for people in the neighborhood. I thought these toppers were too cute. I got the kids' trick or treat bags and these toppers at Lillian Vernon.

We also went to see all of the witches at Gardner Village. I had never been at Halloween and it was really cool. There were witches everywhere.
