Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween Everyone! Halloween was so much fun this year! We, Well, I made Joel carve pumpkins with some friends and Archer even had his own pumpkin that a sweet friend from our ward gave to him. We didn't carve his because I am going to use it to make homemade pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving.

Joel stuck with the Mario theme and made Bowser and I did a tree and bats. Somehow I always end up doing a tree of some sort. Unarry!

I think both of our pumpkins turned out Great!!

All ready for Trick or Treaters!

Okay and Now to the main event! Archer as Baby Mario!!

As far as we could tell Archer was the only Mario at the mall Trick or Treating, and he kept flirting with all the Princesses. GO figure!
 

After the mall we walked down to Winco so we could show off Archer to all of Joel's coworkers. He was a HIT!

We ended the night with a ward Trunk and Treat at the church and a few stops to see some friends and then it was home to check out the big haul!

Best Halloween EVER!!

As a kid Halloween was all about who could get the most candy, but now it was so much more fun dressing Archer up and taking him around. I am so excited for Halloween next year when he can walk and run around.
 

For a little guy he made out pretty good. His pumpkin bucket , which he picked out, was nearly full by the end of the night. He had so much fun reaching in a grabbing out a piece of candy and putting it in his mouth and then dropping it and reaching in again. Archer was testing the quality of the wrappers while Joel and I helped test the candy.

At one point he found a long tootsie roll and after a while part of the tootsie roll and the wrapper was in his mouth and that put an end to that one.

This was the Best Halloween and as Joel put it, "Halloween as a Dad is so much better than as a kid," and I have to agree.

The Great Haul!!

I think my favorite part of the night was watching Archer go through his bucket and pick out his favorites. He was just so DARN CUTE!!

We even caught him trying to save a caramel for later. When we were changing him into his pumpkin PJ's a caramel fell out of his overalls. Sneaky Sneaky!

After Baby Mario was put to bed Joel and I watched Hocus Pocus with our Friends Trevor and Allison. This was the most fun I have ever had on Halloween and I couldn't have shared it with anyone better than Joel and Archer my two Favorite Boys!
