Halloween and a little more

We are a tad bit behind in blogging so this post is going to cover all of October.  We trade kid duty with some friends about once a month so the other couple can go to the temple.  I love this picture because all of the boys are playing with books.  I hope they all grow up with a love of reading. 

In October Alden also turned 9 months.  He celebrated by getting his first tooth :)  He is so much fun and his adorable smile is even cuter with a tooth if that is possible.

And finally, we celebrated Halloween.  Family night was pumpkin carving.  We had two pumpkins this year because some friends of ours were giving out free pumpkins from their pumpkin patch.  Here is the master working. 

Alden was also a great helper.

Here are all three pumpkins.

When Halloween day rolled around we spent most of the day like this.  Alden decided Halloween was the perfect day to get sick for the first time.  So he slept and threw up and I held him and cleaned up throw up. 

He did start to feel better by the end of the day so we dressed him up in skeleton outfit and went across the street to trunk or treat for a few minutes.  Isn't Alden a cute Skeleton?

And his costume glowed in the dark.

The following Saturday we headed back to Home Depot for their free kid craft.  November was a Turkey napkin holder.  Here is a picture of the boys hard at work.

And Alden examining the finished product. Don't worry it passed inspection :)
