Sawyer's 5th Birthday

he got ben 10 guys, a batman cave, shoes, clothes, and lots of money that he spent at target that night on... more ben 10 guys, a joker, and a new spiderman.
i took him and mila to mcdonalds for happy meals at lunch, and then he chose in-n-out for dinner. mainly for a milkshake.
we had such a fun day, and i can't believe i have a 5 year old.
and i have to say it was really nice not to have a party, although he kept asking all his friends where their presents were. i guess he doesn't fully understand what no party means!

trick or treat

Sawyer chose to be a TMNT. He has watched all my brothers old VHS tapes at my moms.
Mags wouldn't wear her cat costume. I thought I would make her into a ghost, but somehow she turned into baby Jesus. I guess we are just that spiritual.
Lillie hosted a chilli dinner for us and the Greens.
And then we walked the neighborhood. My legs were a little sore by the end of the night.
Mags LOVED trick or treating. I think she would have gone all night.
Sawyer got scared at someones house, and then it was a struggle for him the rest of the night.
I am so glad we live in such a family friendly neighborhood. I think the kids enjoyed passing out candy as much as getting it.
I really thought I was going to dress up this year, but somehow it didn't happen.
Next year for sure.

pumpkin carving

Sunday the Biesingers came over to carve pumpkins and have dinner.
Because of the fact that Sawyers bday is the day after Halloween, and we always seem to be sugared and partied out by then, we somewhat celebrated that night.
He chose pasta for dinner and we had pumpkin cake for dessert.
I am really loving this time of year. I wish we were a little cooler, but then again I love that we never have to worry about being really cold.

I stole some pics from Lillie.

let the halloween celebration begin

We started with a MY GYM party on Friday night. Sawyer decided to be Iron Man for the night, and that was the start of Mags not wanting to dress up. I still don't understand it, but she already is so stubborn about things. I wonder where she gets it from?

Saturday night was our ward Trunk or Treat. We were in charge of a cake walk. Mags ate 3 cupcakes, and definitely devoured in some donuts as well. Sawyer got his hair painted green from the young women. It was a fun night.
