a magic carpet ride...in tooele utah

the annual halloween festivities has come around again to tooele.

first was halloween bunco night.

(this time sans princess jasmine's eyebrows)

i seriously love these girls.  and i ended up winning most buncos and got a $20 gift card!  princess jasmine gave me great arabian luck.

then the next day was our ward's trunk or treat partay!

and this time, abu came along.

my mom, aunt, and sis erin came along, which was nice to have extra hands to wrangle sugar filled abu and we binged on chili.

i took abu through the row of trunks to fill up his bucket with candy he can't eat and it was so thrilling to see his reaction to ward members giving him sweet treats. but every time he got a lollipop he dug it out of his bucket and started sucking on it, wrapper and all.

erin was a sassy punkin, i cuddled with aladdin and an octopus, everton disapproved of his greedy auntie erin digging through his newly won treasures, my mom, aunt, and erin loved snuggling abu to keep him warm.

i got to wear my costume 3 times and it's time to retire princess jasmine this year.  she's starting to bloat from all the chili and she's been stealing candy from abu's halloween bucket.

p.s. everton tuned 18 months today.  and does he say "mama" yet?  nope, just "ashes." the lazy bum.  i'm still not too worried.  he has his 18 month appt on monday and we'll see what his doc wants to do.  and he can now officially be in nursery, even though he's been going since 15 months (and he freakin loves it!)   everton is getting more and more active and tells us his opinions of things through his cute sneaky face.  i love my abu.

aladdin, jasmine, and abu hopes everyone has a great and safe halloween!
