Three Days of Halloween

Day 1:  Friday

Friday began with Halloween for Landon.  He got to wear his costume to school, and since he couldnt wear his mask, I painted his face.  Sawyer (wearing his dog costume) and I went to Landon's school to watch him in the school costume parade.

That evening we had our ward halloween party.  I was medusa and Nate was a disco dude.  Jeanette did my makeup which turned out pretty cool, good job Nettie!  The party was alot of fun.  We had the traditional ward Salmon fry, which was delicious and then a costume parade of the kids and trunk or treating to finish it off. 

Day 2:  Saturday
That evening was supposed to be trick or treating, but with the weather, we had to improvise.  We trick or treated at Grandma and Grandpa Harris' and Pitts' and that turned out to be plenty of fun for the boys. They got enough candy from the trunk or treat Friday night that they were okay in the candy department, plus Landon had fun giving out candy to the handful of trickortreaters that came to our house. 

Day 3:  Sunday
Halloween evening we had our Harris Family Halloween Party.  It turned out pretty good.  We had chicken noodle soup and some other goodies brought by family.  We had our costume contest, and played a 'name that scary movie' game. I think we had some awesome costumes this year! here are some pics for you to enjoy!

Amber had an awesome Egyptian costume

 Nan & Jared as Nightmare Before Christmas

Becky and Ron as an Alien and a Lunch Worker

 Sawyer decided he didn't want to wear his dog costume, 

so he wore Landon's power ranger costume and was a muscle man.

 Ryan and Megan as a Dirt Biker and an Oompa Loompa

Nate and Lori as a Chipendale Dancer--censored for your benefit ;) and a last minute drapery ghost

 

 Becky was our winner

Turning 7 on 10-10-10

I've been trying to work on Landon's scrapbooks lately (I know, finally!), so it's been fun remembering my sweet little Landon over the last seven years.  I can't believe he's seven!   He's my little sweetheart.  He is always good for a hug and a kiss.  He tells me he loves me all the time.  He loves school and has a great imagination.  He is a goofball and we love him so very much.  He is the best big brother, always helping me out and playing with Sawyer.  He loves being with his family.  In every prayer he says "thank you that we could be together as a family today."

Happy Birthday Landon!

For Landon's birthday we had a fun little family carnival complete with a tatoo booth, wheelbarrow rides and a magic show! Thanks everyone for making it such a fun time, not only for Landon, but for all of us!

Present Time

Landon got to open his presents from us after church. Dad got him a boat Lego set, Sawyer got him the Star Wars Legos, and Mom got him his super cool jacket.

Later that evening at his carnival party he got to open many more presents from his (great)grandparents and aunts and uncles and cousins. He scored more Legos, a transformer, pj's, a couple new shirts, and a zhu zhu pet!

Thanks everyone!

 Bean Bag Toss

My favorite part was when sawyer really wanted to get it in

the cats mouth so he decided to just walk right up and put it in.

Pinata

by Grandma and Daddy

We started with the youngest and went to the oldest.  By the time we got to Landon he succeeded in knocking the head off and then Gabe knocked off his legs. Sawyer cried when spider man's head came off, but had no problem taking the candy that came out of him.

Magic Show

Landon did a little "ooooo, presents!" dance here.

End of Summer Fun

We celebrated Megan's and Kate's birthdays

with hamburgers, brats, cake and ice cream cones.  

It was a fun little end of summer day.  

The kids had fun playing outside and eating cones and the

grownups had fun taking Ryan's mini bike for a spin.

Family Pictures

Nate's sister Megan was kind enough to attempt family photos for us. Even though Sawyer was difficult and neither boy was very excited, I think she had great success (after a few head swaps). Thanks Megan!
