Just kidding, they are like this most of the time without the help of sugar. Daddy likes to get them all wound up just in time for bed.

Halloween!
It is no secret that Halloween is a favorite holiday at our house! The boys have been so excited for this day to finally arrive, and it didn't disappoint. They had a big time!
I made Beau's skeleton costume this year, just some white felt and hot glue- gotta love spending around 8 dollars for a costume.
Luke got Beau's hand-me-down rooster costume from a few years ago. He had the choice between that or a spider and he was freaked out by the spider legs, so a chicken it was.
I got in on the action with fake eyelashes and some wings! We went to this awesome neighborhood in Hurricane called Sycamore Lane. It has lots of big trees, big houses and pretty much every house is all decked out with haunted houses and scary music. They boys loved it! We also hit Campbell's house for his 2nd birthday, but I guess I forgot my camera at that point.
We have learned the hard way in our 2 years in St. George that if you don't want your pumpkin to be smushy by Halloween you can't carve them too early. We went for Wednesday before Halloween and they survived!
Of course we had to make some Halloween treats too. Eyeballs and caramel apples with eyes. Yummy. Actually the eyeballs were a bit much- doughnut holes dipped in white chocolate with a chocolate chip and red icing. Yikes! They looked cool though.
Beau had circus day at school on Wednesday. He is not a very cheerful clown in this picture. When I picked him up he told me he didn't want his face painted and he was pretty grumpy on the way home. I finally got it out of him that he thought he couldn't eat his popcorn with paint on his lips, and I had to bribe him to take his picture. He cheered up when we washed his face and he got to eat all his popcorn.

Camping and Hunting
We had a good trip to Gunnison last weekend to do a little camping and hunting. There are no pics of a dead deer this time(TJ's dad got one, but he didn't- sorry sweetie!) But we had great weather and lots of fun.
Luke was getting ready to go up in the mountains, practicing on the tinkerbell 4-wheeler.
I went hunting with TJ on Saturday night for my first time ever. It might be my last as I am not good luck and TJ says I talk and move around too much.
And this was on the drive home. The poor guy got a little tuckered out, I guess. Believe it or not he is asleep in this picture.

Check out my Target loot!
I made a little trip to Target today and spent about $6.21 for all of this stuff! Okay I actually spent $11.21, but I got a $5 gift card. I'm pretty sure the cashier hated me by the end of it, but sometimes it pays off to be annoying! I saved $47.63. And, yes, we will be getting our recommended amount of daily fiber now ;)
(If you want to see how I did it click on my link at the side to Good or Free Deals, scroll down to find the Target logo and from there she has two links to Hip To Save and Money Saving Mom. A lot of the coupons were printable so check it out!)

A very eventful day
Beau has been waiting for this day to come for a long while, and finally it came! He started preschool today and it seems he is going to really love it.
I dropped him off and he told me he didn't want me to get out of the car. He wanted to walk in by himself. This should come as a big shock to anyone who knows Beau. He has never done well with change and anything new. (just ask any one of his primary teachers) I guess he was very ready to go to school! 
And here has been the other event for the day, potty training! Call me crazy because I am actually potty training a 2 and 1/2 year old boy. Well I should say he is potty training himself. He has been going really well for about a week, and today I finally got brave and put him in underwear. He always tells me when he needs to go #1, but #2 is another story. He is doing awesome so far, still wearing pull ups for bedtime and naps, but we will see how it goes tomorrow. Wish us luck and any advice is welcome. (Sorry if the pic is offensive, but I did censor it! It was just too funny to see him peeing with a helmet on.)
Beau's Party
We kept the celebration going for Beau's birthday on Saturday. We had a little swim party with the Blackwell gang in the morning, a BBQ at our place in the afternoon, and finished up the day with some bowling. And I took a lot of pics so here they are.. Sorry for all the collages- they are just way easier than posting a million pics. Click on them to see the pictures bigger.
Beau's cakes have steadily gone downhill throughout the years, sorry maybe next year's cake will show some improvement. (but don't hold me to it)
TJ worked with a guy who ownes a bowling alley. He invited us, along with TJ's coworkers and their families, to some free bowling and pizza! The boys had a blast, we had to end up setting a lane up just for Beau and Luke because they couldn't wait for their turn. We ended up bowling about 3 games a piece, and they still didn't want to leave!
