Happy Halloween

This year after going back and forth between Buzz Light-year (he was last year) and Handy Manny I finally made Cody wear Handy Manny since we invested in the costume and he had already worn it around the house one day. We carved pumpkins a few nights before Halloween but because of the crazy warm, moist air they were nice and moldy for Halloween night. Cody's pretty much was a mush pile and he was pretty bummed. We made the rounds on our block and right as we came home Autumn, Ryan and the boys had arrived to play a bit. All of the boys had fun running around and eating candy. By 8:30-9:00pm Cody was telling me that he was ready to come inside. I couldn't complain. We were out of candy by then anyways.

Pumpkin patch with Grandma and Grandpa Bell

We took a trip to Pa's Pumpkin patch while Grandma and Grandpa Bell were in town. The boys loved having them here. We also had our Aunt Rendi here on business and Colby and his girlfriend Emily came to visit all at the same time. Needless to say the out of state family wanted to go out and have some fun while here. We had our ward harvest festival which all went to. Cody wasn't feeling too good but we thought we'd try to take him anyways...big mistake. Cody threw up all over me so we headed home. The rest of the crowd (besides grandma and grandpa) went out to Knott's Scary Farm. We hear that was quite an interesting time...long lines and a weird pole dancing haunted house. I think we were glad we had to stay home after all. Grandma Bell ended up returning back to Cali the following week to help Autumn take care of the boys while Ryan worked out of town so the boys got their fill!! Cody isn't asking everyday to see grandma! As cute as that was...it was getting old. We are planing a trip to Utah in a few weeks and Cody is excited to play in the snow. This is my favorite time of the year and as soon as our fall weather returns, I will be happy!! Although I may gain about 5 lbs from all of the candy corn pumpkins I eat!! We hope everyone has a fun, safe Halloween.
