I'd Love to Be a Cowboy!

It was the first year that Ethan went Trick or Treating. We only went to 3 houses in our neighborhood. One of our sweet neighbors gave him a little stuffed spider, the cute kind. Ethan helped pass out candy to the kids. He would just stare at them in awe. He loves little kids. We had about 200 trick or treaters. It is so much fun to have lots of kids come on Halloween. It was a really nice night, so we sat on our porch to pass out candy.

Our cute cowboy. Man, he loved his hat. He wore it the whole week before Halloween. He didn't like it when I drew on his mustache, but soon forgot about it. Liquid eyeliner is great.

We went to a Trunk or Treat for our ward. I was a rodeo princess. I made that sash all by myself. I even wore an authentic cowboy shirt from my grandpa. Miss you grandpa!

Jim was a cowboy too. It is so easy when you have a theme.

Here is our beautiful owl carving. We carved our pumpkin just 4 days before Halloween, but the weather was so nice that it was totally shriveled up for the trick or treaters.

Ethan loves rats and spiders. He likes to carry them wherever he goes. He will kiss them and hug them. We used these to decorate our trunk and he wouldn't put them down.
