Connor has learned from who knows where about gross stuff. He came home from preschool one day talking about what is yummy and yucky to eat. "What about spaghetti and eyeballs? ewwww!" "What about peanut butter and eyeballs? ewww!" He would go on in this manner throughout the evening. He actually is still doing it. So hilarious.
He had many opportunities this year to enjoy an extended Halloween celebration. The Saturday before Halloween, the YMCA did a trunk-or-treat complete with climbing wall, inflatable slides and a neat jousting arena. Connor and his friend Scott doned the suits and tried to knock each other off the platforms. They could barely lift the sticks; it was so cute! (Too bad I didn't have my camera!! I thought it would be dark with nothing to take pictures of).
Our Ward Halloween party was another fun time. The YW did all the carnival activities again this year. It was busy getting it all ready but so worth it for how much the kids enjoyed it.

Eating a donut from a string.
Holding the eyeball ping pong balls in the pumpkin toss. (Eyeball fascination)
This mummy really creeped him out at the trunk-or-treat we had. It's eyes (another eyeball reference) moved when you came near it. He was frightened of it at first but talked about it for days afterward.
Carving the jack-o-lantern. This is the pumpkin Connor picked from the pumpkin patch on our trip to Apple Annie's.
Displaying the finished product. Good job boys!
Looking into the eyes (no eyeballs here) of his jack-o-lantern.The last Halloween festivities actually took place on the 31st. We went to a dinner party at Connor's friend Scott's house. Then to another trunk-or-treat and home for a little trick-or-treating. I think Ammon was just as excited (if not more, huh honey?) than Connor to go do all this. Ammon's a real "sweet" guy.

Fun pictures! Connor is such a great kid, I love that you wrote about his eyeball fascination! I also found myself staring at you ward pictures trying to see who else was in them, almost like we were there. crazy, huh? Looks like you guys had a lot of fun. also loved the Mexico vacation pictures.
What a cute little guy. I hope your mom understood about the batman costume! Maybe next year. :) It looks like you guys had a ton of fun, and I am jealous! I haven't carved a pumpkin for years. I guess we just need to have a kid so we can start being fun people again! Wish you lived closer so we could spend more time together.
