All Hallows' Eve


She loved her target dollar section pail!

Cutest Little puppy ever! She was so well behaved. She didn't even try to pull her costume off!

We had a blast this halloween! We decorated and carved pumpkins as well as a gingerbread haunted house. We enjoyed watching the Halloween movies on TV like Clue and Young Frankenstein! My favorite part of the holidays is all cuddling up on the couch, sipping Cocomotion hot chocolate, and having oodles and oodles of holiday movie options. On the sat before Halloween we went to the ward Halloween party. I was very impressed at the decorating and the haunted house. We tried to go trick or treating, to get candy for daphne of course, but people didn't really want to give us candy... ha i cant imagine why!!! JK. Then on Halloween day we just hung around the house and watched the above listed movies. I didn't know if we would get trick or treaters in our complex (because its a very large, spaced out, and hilly) and so i didn't really buy any candy, but i figured if we got a few i would just give them some fruit snacks. Sadly, we didn't get any. I guess when Daphne is ready to do some trick or treating we'll have to go the the neighborhood right outside the presidio (Robin Williams used to live in there). So that neighborhood should prove to be lucrative!

We only wanted to carve a tiny pumpkin this year! Their to much work with a baby around!

I love Daphne's face peeking out through the Candelabra! She's so funny.

Taylor's bag says "PUPPIES" He is one of the robbers (Horace & Jasper) who stole the puppies for me aka Cruella! P.s. funny tidbit Someone didnt know what i was.... how you say, ya i don't know, but he thought i was a "Vegas girl". Clearly he has never seen what girls look like in Vegas.

I took down all our halloween decorations yesterday and am about to put up our Thanksgiving decorations. I need to find/make/or revamp a cute Thanksgiving garland, but i need to find one first. I think that'll be my next project. I cant wait for Thanksgiving! I have so many things i want to do and work on, hopefully i'll have the time. Daphne has been having a really weird day nap schedule. Im blaming it on teething, but im not sure if thats why. She used to sleep 6 hours in the day, about 3 2 hour naps, and now its about 2 1.5 hour naps. Its a bummer, only because i was used to being able to do all the things that needed to be done and then had time to do what i wanted to do. Now i only have time for the necessary. Her nights are still great! Im very happy about that!

  3. Cute, cute, cute! I wish you guys had been here to come trick or treating with all the cousins. Put pictures up on Facebook of your Thanksgiving decorations. I wanted to make a burlap "Give Thanks" banner when Lexi was in town - but it didn't happen. I'd love to see what you do so I can get cute craft ideas. :) Love you!
