Halloween

Zach and I had a ton of fun on Halloween this year.  I was scheduled to work that night so we tried to find places to go Trick or Treating during the day that wouldn't require a lot of walking around, especially since my hips were killing me.  Last year we went around to the different shops at Jordan Landing, but my mom was able to go with us and I didn't feel like tackling it myself this year.  Then my mom informed me that her work and the other companies in her same building would be passing out candy and there would be ambulances and fire trucks for Zach to see.  I got him dressed up in his costume and he was so excited that he got to be Buzz!!  We drove up to my mom's work and wandered around the halls collecting candy.  He got quite the hall.  We passed by the same cops and firefighters several times and they gave him candy everytime.  He was just as excited to see the "Woo-woos" and did a great job saying "Trick or Treat" and "Nanks" (Thanks).  Grandma loved showing him off to her co-workers and I had fun with my cute boy and my cute costume.  A co-worker gave me an iron-on vinyl that her daughter in law makes a couple weeks prior.  I didn't get a picture of me wearing it, but this was the general idea.

Check out that haul!! That's a load of candy for a kid who doesn't eat it!

I also had a doctors appointment on Halloween.  The funny thing about it was Kaylee had been head down the entire pregnancy and that day she decided to flip so that she was in the same position as the baby skeleton on my costume.  What a stinker!!  I'm 30 1/2 weeks and everything is looking great!!  I'm so happy to not be recovering from an amnio-reduction this time around and not getting close to being admitted to the hospital.  I remember on Halloween while I was pregnant with Zach, I wore an orange t-shirt with a jack o'lantern face painted on it.  I went home from work that night with the most swollen feet and legs ever and called my mom almost crying because I couldn't change into my pajama pants because I couldn't bend over far enough to get my pants on.  So glad this pregnancy is completely different!!

We also decided to take Zach on the Heber Creeper and hang out at their pumpkin festival.  Since he's addicted to trains lately, we knew he would absolutely love riding on one, even if it was only for half an hour.  I found a really good deal and we had a blast as a family.  We drove up there and walked around looking at the many trains.  We also walked through the '"Haunted Train".  We boarded the train and it took us on a 40 minute train ride.  There was some train "entertainment" and we were all given pumpkin chocolate chip cookies.  Zach had a blast and didn't want to get off when we were done.  Afterwards we bought some kettle corn, Zach got his face painted, and we picked our pumpkins that came with our tickets.  We took them home and instead of carving them this year, we decided it would be fun to paint them instead.  They turned out super cute and were bummed one night when they went missing.  The next day David was driving around the neighborhood and found them two doors down on our neighbors porch.  He grabbed them and put them back on our porch.  I didn't think they were THAT cute, but I guess someone liked them.
