Halloween 2011

So of course we had to carve Carter's perfect pumpkin that he picked from the patch. ( We are bad parents and actually didnt get around to carving it until Nov. 1st! Carter helped us remember!) But Chad wont touch the "guts" of the pumpkin to I always have to do the dirty work.
But Chad is more than happy to create the masterpeice. Its a good trade off.

This year we went trick-or-treating with our good friends the Sorensons. I dont know what we will do when they move and leave us! They have been such good friends to us and our kids love eachother! Isn't this the cutest bunch of trick-or-treaters EVER?!

I think the dads were just as excited as the boys were! Here are Carter & Jace knocking on their first door.

The boys...a golfer & Thomas the train

Our girls! A flower and a bee...they go so perfectly together!

I wish i had a movie of Carter trick or treating. He was a little timid at the first 2 houses, and once he figured it out he RAN the whole time! For an hour or so straight! He loved it and woke up every day after Halloween asking for trick or treating! Here he is with his loot! This was one happy boy!

Tubb's Berry Farm

We found the cutest little pumpkin patch in Twin Falls. They had a straw maze, pumpkin patch, petting zoo, and you could pick and eat all the raspberries you wanted for free!! Carter (and Chad) were in heaven! This will definantly be a family ritual every fall!

Carter and Mollie loved the pumpkin patch! He was amazed at the BIG one!

It was so cute watching Carter think so hard about trying to get out of the maze! He's got the Hymas "thinker" gene!

Joy School Halloween Party

Carter has been in Joy School since August and has loved it so much. He has made a lot of new friends and is always asking to go to one of their houses. We had the halloween party at our house and they got to dress in costumes and sing to their moms. Then we had a halloween finger food lunch! I love these little kiddos and their moms!
Here they are singing their songs. Carter loved to sing the songs, but he wasnt very great at holding still for it or keeping his costume on.

I'm so glad we have this wonderful opportunity for joy school. I LOVE JOY SCHOOL!!
