Boo!

Happy Halloween, yesterday!

On Thursday night we took Avery(dressed in his dragon costume), and Jack, to a haunted train ride in Lindon, he was pretty much freaked out of his mind...and not in a good way! He was excited about riding a train until we got there. And it was dark. And there were people walking around in scary masks. He spent the majority of our time there (which was about an hour, waiting in line and riding the train) with his hands over his eyes and his head buried in Andy's shoulder.
He liked the free popcorn they gave us, and watching a movie for a few minutes while we waited for our turn. Other than that, he was scared and kept saying "scary, not now" or "all done scary train". Sad, but cute!

We gave him candy to make him feel better. It worked.

Here we are waiting

Then yesterday morning I took the boys in their Halloween getup to Andy's office, where they had trick-or-treating at all the different departments. Avery really liked getting candy! by the end he caught on to saying "trick-or-treat" for the most part. But earlier in the day when I asked him what to say when he wants candy on Halloween he thought for a minute and said "please?" (which made me feel great!) I then told him he can say "trick-or-treat" to people today and then thank them. After that I asked him again what to say he thought again and said "trick-or-treat, please...?" What a polite boy!
Avery dressed up as a dragon, and Jack was a turtle, they were very cute. Oh, and Andy wore an Arvydas Sabonis jersey as his "costume".
One of Andy's co-workers was wearing a nasty mask, I think it was a werewolf, when we got there and it pretty well freaked Avery out, his legs were actually shaking! he got over it though, and the guy didn't wear his mask around Avery again.
Candy cures just about anything for a kid.

We were going to go to our ward trunk or treat and then leave right after that to head down to Southern Utah to visit my brother but since Avery made out like a bandit at the office trick or treat thing we decided we didn't need or want any more candy.
So we left about an hour and a half earlier than we had planned. So here we are. Andy is leaving tomorrow evening so he can get back home for work and school, and the boys and I are staying. My Mom is in town to help out down here with my brother's new baby. So we're all just going to hang out this week. Andy will come back and get us next weekend.
Hopefully he won't die of misery and boredom without his awesome wife and adorable boys! :)


Also, Happy Birthday to Sam!! She turned the big 2-4 yesterday!!
