So Brigham dressed up as "jake" and the never land pirates. But mostly he was just an awesome pirate. Silas was the cutest little captain America. Adam was a puppy dog.
The boys got to sport their costumes 3 times. Once for a carnival at Doug's school, then a church carnival, and for Halloween itself.
Brigham almost needed to use a real eye patch. He started sword fighting with all the other kids with swords and got nicked just below his eye. Adam was so into his doggy role that he even wanted to crawl on all fours in the walmart parking lot saying, "woof woof!"
We carved some pumpkins that was pretty fun. We cheat by using the patterns, but it makes it nice for the kids to do a good looking pumpkin. Brigham did most of his all by himself. He poked all the holes and then I would tell him to cut one line and then stop then I would tell show him the next part. Those little pumpkin saws make it easy to cut. Silas enjoyed poking his holes. He would poke one over here or one over there, jut randomly. But he really liked poking holes in his pumpkin.
It was nice to go trick or treating to great Grandma Bitter. She paraded the boys around the dining room.
The next day we went down for Ashton's baptism and we were able to visit Granpa Weight before. It was so nice to see him and visit with him. Even though he won't remember our visit and he didn't know who we were even after we explained; it still made him happy to have visitors and that was so nice. I was so glad to see him happy, but when it came time to leave I was sad leaving him in his room alone.
I am grateful that my kids can visit their great grandparents who are still living. We get to see my grandma Mackley this week.
