Outrageous October 2012

HUGE month for Alan!! He turned 15!! Oh my gosh, how is it possible that my baby is 15?!?! Here's the birthday boy...

Here he is in his new sweater that he loves!!

And here he is with the friends he had over for a party...

And after all the partying was over, we of course had the family over for some pumpkin carving. 

Yes, this is in my living room--we just didn't all fit in the dinning room this time...

Finished products--the pumpkins, not the boys--we're still workin' on them! : )

I'm also going to put in the trick-or-treating pictures here because we were supposed to go trick-or-treating on October 30th (I'll never know why we don't just go on Halloween!!) but the weather was going to be bad (or so they thought), so they post-poned it!!! Can you believe it?!? Who post-pones trick-or-treat?!? I remember trick-or-treating in the snow, the rain, tropically warm temperatures, you name it, we were out there!! Post-poning trick-or-treat, who ever heard of such a thing?!? I almost protested, but I worked too hard on Nathan's sweet Steve from Minecraft outfit (OK and I count on the candy haul), there was no way we were going to miss it. Then the final irony--the weather was as bad, if not worse, when they actually had trick-or-treat than when it was originally scheduled!!!! Go figure! Anyway, here's the sweet costume and the boys showing off their hauls!

Scott was some weird skeleton, zombie thing...too gross to post! And I think that's it for October. Maybe I'll get November up before, oh, I don't know, Easter maybe!!! (insert rolling eyes emoticon here!)
