Trunk or Treat.

Apparently our bishop hates halloween so our ward didn't have a party of any kind...sad. Since I'm not taking Sienna trick or treating this year I invited myself to my parent's ward's trunk or treat so that Sienna would have a place to wear her costume. Nick invited some friends from our ward to come with us because they were also bummed about not having a place to show off their little one.

We had fun hanging out and tasting the different chilis and cornbread. Our cornbread went fast because it's delicious and let's be honest practically made by Marie Callender herself. :) We checked out all the trunks but didn't participate in the treats. We have plenty of candy at home since I bought a huge bag before Grandma told me we only get about 20 trick or treaters.

Sienna was a trooper and kept her headband on almost the whole night and didn't seem bothered by her giant spider body. She especially loved seeing Aunt Rachel and even cried when I took her away so that we could go home. She was pretty much the most adorable spider I have ever seen.

Pumpkin Carving.

On Monday we had our friends, The Ricks, come over for some pizza and pumpkin carving. We started with pizza and then got to work on the jack o lanterns. The boys took off there tops and got out all of the guts for us and then Kathryn and I carved out the faces. While we carved out the faces, the boys were nice enough to frost and sprinkle some sugar cookies for us....such good guys.

The finished products and the girls with their jack o lanterns.

All the girls.

We had a great time hanging out and letting the girls play together.

Starting her early...

Nick has been dying to take Sienna to a drum corp show pretty much from the time she was born. He's played music for her on the iPod and I believe she has seen some videos of different shows. A couple of weeks ago we decided to go to Roseville to see a marching band show some different high schools were participating in. It's definitely not the same as drum corp but it was a good way to have a test run to see how she would do.

She liked it. I want to say she loved it but I'm pretty sure the only thing she really loved was the caramel popcorn she tried to steal out of some ladies purse..true story. She did really enjoy the music and sharing mommy's dinner. When the bands where performing she was interested so I'm going to call it a success.

I don't think she's ready for the big time ye,t so Nick will just have to keep finding these little shows for us for a while.
