Happy Halloween with the Goodman's

So our new tradition for Halloween dinner is to make these cute Mummies. They were fast and easy. Sandon helped roll the dough and wrap it around the cheese stuffed hot dogs. They weren't that bad and I am not a hot dog person.


Sandon was dressed as Spongebob and Raleigh was a baby chick. She wouldn't stay still to take any pictures.

Sandon was squeezing so hard holding her hand so she would stay put. She ended up crying instead of running away.

Her costume had cute little mittens to keep her hands warm.

There she is crying!!

Sandon even had his jellyfishing net.

She was a mess from crying. Her hair bow is hanging out of her hood and her hair was everywhere. We haven't even left to trick or treat yet!

Let's see what we got in our buckets Sis!

The kids did really good. Sandon walked pretty much the whole time while we trick or treated. We were smart with Raleigh and brought a little umbrella stroller and hooked her bucket on the side.

The junk gut fest begins.


Pumpkin Cookies

Mom wanted to make another family Halloween tradition of making Pumpkin sugar cookies and decorating them. They turned out pretty good. Sandon had a great time decorating them and making faces.

These were Mom's cookies, and of course the kids wanted to eat these ones first!



FHE Faces

While Daddy was out of town for work we decided to have a FHE a little early and colored our faces onto masks. Raleigh's is turned around backwards and she doesn't know it!
There you go Raleigh, now we can see your face.

Now we can see the real faces behind the masks.

Mom got in on it too. Kinda scary huh!

Curse or Coincidence

So last night I was telling Doug how I am not looking forward to this winter wondering what sicknesses the kids will get. Then I told him how I hate when the kids puke and Raleigh hasn't ever gotten the stomach flu. Well much to my surprise this morning at 5:00am I was woken up to the sound of puking. Raleigh puked in her crib and again 20 minutes later. I hate that smell!!! So my day started very early. Laundry was started and play time for Raleigh. I hate this time of year. Like Michael Scott said "This home (office) is cursed".

Joys of Motherhood

I bought Sandon some new church shoes yesterday and he has been dying to wear them. He came out of his room dressed like this for the day. I love being a mom on these days. His dad would be so proud!! Is he colorblind?? I laughed and told him he looked great. He said "Thanks Mom" I just have to smile:) This is a Halloween costume in itself.

Halloween Bunco Party!

Last night was our group Bunco night and we decided to make it a costume party. Of course only 4 of the 12 dressed up. Lame people huh! Halloween is my favorite Holiday of the year so of course I had to dress up. If you haven't guessed I'm the pregnant white trailer trash 3rd from the left. Like my empty beer bottle and cigarette behind my ear for effect. Poor baby inside!!! The lovely stick on tattoos are nice, not. I couldn't get them off so it now looks like the kids colored all over my arms. It was fun though, It's always nice to try and be something other than what you really are. It's the 1 time a year you can truly be anything you want to be, or in my case the 1 time a year for a good laugh. I don't think this outfit is appropriate enough for the ward Halloween party. What do you think??

The Pumpkin Patch

After bad directions and 2 days of driving the kids around, we finally found the famous pumpkin patch. Of course it was no where near the directions we had been given. We should have gone with our gut instinct which would have led us here in 10 min. Oh well. It was so cold out, the kids did really good with the cold. Raleigh finally broke down at the end. Sandon had a blast looking through all of the pumpkins trying to pick the perfect one. He did good on picking his pumpkin.

Which one is the lucky pumpkin to go home with us?

I'll take the 2 cute little pumpkins in the wagon cart!



Raleigh wanted to play with the scarecrows!


We're huddling together for warmth.

A Proud Father and Son

Our Final picks for pumpkins.
