Halloween

Well this was our first Halloween that we actually got to go out and trick or treat. I made Carter's costume which by the way is a dog......not a bunny (Kim). :) Heehee I think it turned out cute and he got lots of comments on how cute he looked. I dont think it was the costume that made him look cute.......that's just how he is. Although, the night did not start off well. It didnt help that I was not feeling well, and Avery had spiked a fever so she was not happy either. I tried to get a picture.....as you can see did not go well. So we just gave up on picture taking and put him and Avery in the truck and went to the trunk or treat. He fell asleep before we opened the garage. But once we got there, he was so infatuated by all of the kids' costumes and the fact that people were "giving" him candy. Avery was so cute in her costume.....she was a cat by the way. She was just in awe at all of the kids and loved watching everyone. After our wards trunk or treat, we went to Nick's brothers wards trunk or treat and got even more candy. Then we went to the mall. By this point, both of the kids were showing signs of fatigue and wrestlessness. I was finally able, however, to get a good picture of his costume. Carter got so much candy in his bag that he tore a hole in it. It was so heavy for him that he dragged it along the ground but wouldnt let us carry it for him. He was too smart for that. He knew we'd eat his candy. All in all we had a pretty good time until that night when Avery's fever spiked to 102 and wouldnt sleep. Poor thing was miserable. But it was definitely a memorable night....especially when Carter was so hopped up on sugar that he tore off his clothes and diaper and started running around the house naked only wearing his dog collar that read "FIDO". At that point we knew it was going to be a long night. :)
