Halloween

So I finally figured out what blogger's problem was... did you know it automatically puts all the pictures that you post on your blog into a Picasa Web Album? I didn't even know I had a Picasa Web Album but apparently it's full so I couldn't post any more pictures.

We had a great Halloween this year! It was especially nice because we just re-used the same costumes that I made last year. When I put them on the boys I was really surprised they still fit! Reese's was a little tight but it was still perfect. 

Ryan was Dumbledore

Carson was Draco Malfoy, I was Professor Trelawney, and Reese was the snitch.

Our ward didn't put on a Halloween party so the Primary presidency (I'm the second councilor) decided to put on a little party for the kids. It was fun! We had homemade soups with bread bowls, face painting

donuts on a string, the fishing game, pin the nose on the jack-o-lantern, and a cake walk.

 A lot of people came, there was hardly any room to move around but that's what made it fun! Afterward, all the kids went trick-or-treating around the complex. It was perfect for this age because they got plenty of candy and it was just enough walking around for their little legs. Carson kept saying "I love Halloween! It's the best ever! My bag is getting fuller and fuller!" Reese would go up to each door, knock with his cute little knuckles, and say "tik or teat" but every time he would try and go in the house and inevitability trip on the step. I can't wait until next year when Reese is a little older and can really understand and get as excited as Carson!

Puzzles

 

 So I guess this will be the only picture because blogger is being stupid. It's telling me that I've used all my storage space but I've deleted a bunch of posts and pictures and that didn't do anything so then I tried used photobucket and that won't work either. So I'm out of ideas. Any suggestions on how to make posting less annoying?

Reese has really been into puzzles lately. It's been awhile since I've gotten them out because he would put them in his mouth and because they're made out of wood, it didn't turn out so well. But he's really good at them and is completely entertained for a long time with any puzzle. Most of you moms probably don't think that's something special, but Carson never got into puzzles so this is a pleasant surprise. It's the cutest thing too because he has to open his mouth to be able to get them in just right, helps with concentration! :)

Why I've been M.I.A.

This little guy is going to be joining our family May 17th (tentatively scheduled). I figured I should make it official since my pants are getting uncomfortably tight and people are already commenting on my "bump." The hardest part about this pregnancy so far is just having the energy to get off the couch! I have a great friend though who's getting me off my lazy butt and into the gym which has made a world of difference! I have a lot more energy after I've done a Gravity or Zumba class! I went to my first doctor's appointment last Friday and everything looks great and he's measuring about 30mm. Having that ultrasound really got us excited! And yes, we are referring to it as a "he" just so we can mentally prepare ourselves for another boy. :)
