For dinner, we had mummies and witches mouths.

Halloween
For Halloween the boys went with a whole new round of costumes. Not really new of course, all from that same 10 cent sale we chanced upon one after-Halloween. Daniel didn't like the kids hitting his police car, so he changed to "Zoram" (our child is just as culturally unaware as we are) and Joshua went with a costume perfect for an Illinois Halloween, but a sauna for California. Nathan had no clue, but enjoyed ripping apart the yarn ball on his costume.

Pumpkin Carving
On Saturday we chose pumpkins. Daniel rejected many in his quest for a perfect pumpkin. We got a new set of carving knives for the boys that came with a scraper, which was awesome. 
It cleared the gunk away really quickly and effectively. Daniel and Joshua each designed their own pumpkin faces, and Nathan's is supposed to look like Jack-Jack (from the Incredibles). Daniel did a lot of the work on his pumpkin himself this year. 
To avoid the gagging problems of years past (see movie below), Dewain cleaned out Joshua's pumpkin before we woke him up from his nap. 
Joshua didn't mind a bit and made sure he designed a scary face for his pumpkin. 
Nathan loved playing with his pumpkin, while waiting for it to be worked on. 
It didn't take us very long to finish
and we had lots of fun.
The boys' favorite part, of course, is seeing them all lit up (the more candles the better) and glowing in the dark.

Ogden (Eccles) Dinosaur Park
The boys looked forward to "fun day" all week and were excited when it finally arrived. We went with Aunt Elaine, Josh and Julie, and Grandma and Grandpa to visit the dinosaurs in Ogden's Eccles Dinosaur Park. 
We had a lot of fun exploring the park and seeing the dino sculptures. 
Daniel especially enjoyed feeding the fish & ducks, I think because he got to put in a quarter and turn the dial to get out food. 
Joshua was pleasantly surprised to find (cement) dinosaur eggs at the spot where he sat down to dig. 
Naturally, I kept the boys safe during our visit.

Wedding Slideshow
I spent a lot of my time the last few weeks working on this slideshow for Jon-David & Becky's wedding reception, so I'm going to get a little more mileage out of it by posting it here. Hope you enjoy it. It's about 8 minutes long. More from the wedding and trip later.
