Halloween 2010

Happy Halloween! We started the season with a pumpkin carving, monster cookie making day with Amber and cute cousins Briley and Brielle. Amber and I made NINE DOZEN batches of her magical, coveted Monster cookies that we all love so much. Then the cousins got busy cleaning out and carving pumpkins. The weather was beautiful! The kids got to play in the hot tub and Amber and I got to have some actual, honest to goodness adult girl time while we shared some mimosas!Poor Sieauna was sick this Halloween. I KNOW, Right? What poor kid gets sick on Halloween? Mine did, and boy was she bummed about it. She made it through school and the parade and class parties on Thursday (parties that mom attempted to help out in, but ended up causing major chaos. That's a whole nother' story! Click here to read about that one!) and by Friday Sieauna was miserable. Saturday was worse and we were suppose to get together with Holli and Tracy and their kids, but with sick kids, we cancelled. :(
We were however, VERY FORTUNATE to get to go over to Nana & Bepa's house to have a very relaxing Halloween. Nan & Beep decorated the house for trick-or-treater's, got costumed up themselves, and put on quite the spread! The kids were excited (mom too!) and Sieauna was especially happy because she didn't have to sit in the house all night.After a yummy dinner of homemade chicken noodle soup (Nana's soup ROCKS), the big boys watched the Utes game and the girls chatted while the kids tried their best to patiently relax and watch a movie. Soon it was dark and we couldn't hold Alex back any longer. Sieauna, at this point decided the soup made her feel better so we let her go to. Daddy and I took them to a few houses. The hardest part was making Alex "walk" to the next house, as to keep his sister from running causing a cough attack or spiking her fever again. They both had fun and got a few candies. It was a good night. Thank you Nana & Bepa, for turning our Halloween into a super fun one.
