Halloween started off on the 30th when Ethan and I met up with Monica and her son Ezaias at Melaleuca for their trick or treat event. It was so much fun, everyone at the call center had gone all out as far as decorating. They went with a Disney theme. The kids started in the reception area that was decked out like the nursery in Peter Pan, the receptionist was appropriately dressed as Tinker Bell.
The kids then made their way down the hall to Mermaid Lagoon and Captain Hook's pirate ship where they found their first treasure chest of candy.
Getting ready for Halloween Night! It was actually my Relief Society President that suggested Mario. I was telling her that we decided we didn't want to spend money on a costume this year and she asked, "does Ethan have overalls and a red shirt?" and I went from there.
So Ethan was Mario, Trent was Luigi (and a very good sport about it I might add), and I was a very pregnant Princess Toadstool.
We had two stops last night, the first was The Rex, our local movie theatre, where they were having a trunk or treat and carnival. My dad was there with representing the fire department handing out candy and he was pretty excited to see his little grandson decked out and ready to do some trick or treating.
Our second stop was at the house in Idaho Falls for a VanderVille get together.
Our evening wasn't all too eventful, Trent had had an especially stressful day and was very ready for a night at home but relented to my love of Halloween, let me dress him up, and took Ethan and I out. We didn't really stay at either place too long, so it's funny that I made us all get dressed up to go out for only a few hours. I think we were home by 10:30 and definitely in bed before midnight. I can't tell you how happy I was about the fact it was Friday. Getting up M-F at 5:30 in the a.m. to be to work by 6 I was looking very much forward to sleeping in.
Today has been a wonderfully relaxed day putting the house back in order and spending a great deal of time with my boys. I'm also looking forward to an extra hour of sleep tonight... hooray daylight savings time!
In other news... I had a doctor's appointment this last Thursday and it looks like my belly is just as big as it should be, my blood pressure is, in the words of the doctor, "amazing," and I'm doing great as far as my weight gain.... and no I'm not saying how much that is at this point. I'm now 32 weeks and 5 days and I can't believe my weeks to go are now in the single digits.
No names picked out just yet we may just have to wait until she gets here
Life's beautiful and busy and I love it!!

Looks like you guys had so much fun. I was totally missing the Mela trick or treating. And the house of course. We'll be there in a week, can't wait to see you guys.
I love the cotumes. :) I'm all for making your own costumes and not buying them because they usually turn out looking better anyway. :) I'm glad your halloween was a fun one. We only dressed up for an hour, but it's totally worth it to see pictures and the kids have so much fun.
Your costumes are great! When is your official due date?
