Halloween 2011

 After a quick round of trick or treating at Jared's work, we started Halloween by eating a Pumpkin pizza. Leila loves pizza.

 Yummy!!

 We were trying to get some cute pictures of the kids in their costumes but Conrad wanted nothing to do with the picture. He was so sleepy all he could think about was getting in to bed. 

 Get me outta here!!

 All Leila wanted to do was go trick or treating. 

 He was happy when we stopped taking pictures.

Leila was showing me how to fly with her wings

First house no one was there. Leila was so worried that no one was going to be home and she wouldn't get any candy.

She couldn't stop looking at this guy.

The first house that opened the door.

Leila wanted to stop and look at the view. So did I.

The Monster house.

By the end her bag was getting so heavy. She would knock on the door then put her bag down and let them put the candy in. It was so much fun to go out and trick or treat with Leila. She was so cute. She would say trick or treat then she would tell them Thank you! Halloween is way more fun with kids. Can't wait to see Conrad next year.

 Conrad did not make it trick or treating this year due to crankiness and sleepiness. We are hoping next year will be a better year for him.

Pumpkin Time

Every year we carve pumpkins. Jared Loves to do it. I think more than I do. He is pretty good. It's fun to see Leila get excited.

She was way excited to help carve the pumpkins and find all the seeds to bake. 

I always get stuck with the gutting.

She was so happy to help.

Cute!!

The final product. 

Yummy roasted pumpkin seeds.

Leila was so excited to try the seeds, she couldn't wait.

I was not sure what she was going to think... She LOVED them. Just like her dad. She couldn't stop eating them.

I had to show her how the seed was inside and not to eat the shell. She was eating the whole thing. Carving pumpkins was fun! I hope Conrad can stay awake next year. 

For those of you that don't know, Conrad loves to sleep. He takes 1 nap a day, anywhere from 1-2 hrs and goes down for the night around 6:00 - 7:00 pm (This is why he is never in any pictures or family fun). He wakes up at 7:30 or 8:00. And YES, he sleeps all night. Everyone always said every kid is different and that I wouldn't get another good sleeper. But my babies LOVE their sleep.
