Halloween was fun. Alex was Harry Potter with my very first handmade Halloween costume. Grandpa made the wand and I painted/stained it. All in all, he looked great.
Ethan was an airplane pilot. I wanted to do coordinating costumes with Alex and have Ethan be Hedwig but I couldn't find an owl costume small enough. I felt ambitious enough to make Alex a cloak but there was no way I was going to attempt an infant owl costume. He looked adorable though and got lots of compliments. Dustin came to the ward party straight from work so we have a picture of my captain with his first of
ficer.We carved two pumpkins this year. Alex chose a vomiting design and I picked the spider. I'm pretty happy with how they turned out. I actually printed off the designs and we taped them to the pumpkins and did the outlines rather then just drawing them like we usually do.
The biggest news is that we're in the market for a house. We put an offer on one a week ago and it was rejected and we are currently waiting for a response to a house we put an offer on last week. I was hoping to be in our own house before Christmas but if its not the right house, we're not in any hurry. Apparently what we need/want in a house and what is actually available is a pretty small overlap. But I'm looking forward to owning our own home and making it exactly what we want it to be.

That's exciting! Good luck with the house hunting!
I love the potter costume, good job! And good luck with the house hunt, I hope you find something you love.
The costumes look great! You seriously did an amazing job. Go super mom!
I can understand how frustrating looking for a house can be! We looked for about 2 months (and even put in an offer on 2 short sales, which didn't go through) before we found our house. We've been going through turbo-speed processing of our loan to get moved in by the end of the month. But we'll be closing soon, and super excited too! Good luck! It's lots of hard work and headaches, but SOOOOOo worth it in the end!
