I realized while I was looking through all our pictures that I took a lot of pictures of Brayden sleeping. I have not, however, taken many of Brooklyn sleeping. So I decided to grab the camera and click some pics of her sleeping so peacefully. Of course I picked the two nights that she was wearing Brayden's old pj's. Hmmm...maybe I shouldn't let myself get so behind on laundry!
I thought it was so funny that her little leg snuck inbetween the crib slats.
Halloween turned out to be a beautiful day. We had a normal morning and put the kids down for early naps. We weren't sure how to do everything we had scheduled - Josh had a party downtown he had to stop in at (one of his clients) and I wanted to take the kids to my parent's ward that was having a carnival/trunk-or-treat. We ended up waking the kids up early and I took them to my parents. Josh stayed home to get ready and head off to his party. I called him at the end of the trunk-or-treat thinking he would've already been on his way, but he was just leaving. So he stopped at the freeway and we met him and headed downtown together. It turned out great! Here are the kids at the carnival with my dad. Brayden had a lot of fun doing the cake walk with my dad's help, throwing the beanbags, and tossing the rings on the pop bottles.
Here's my parent's truck:
The kids were too distracted by all the candy to smile for the camera.
The party downtown was pretty random. One of Josh's restaurants was hosting it so he wanted to stop by to show his support. Since we don't drink, there wasn't much to do. Brayden's favorite part was watching the mariachi band and using a plate as a tambourine/drum. It was impossible to get the kids to look at the camera at the same time with so much going on, so the bottom two pictures are cute pics of them one at a time.
After the party we headed over to Josh's parent's house to go trick-or-treating. The kids
One last attempt to get the kids smiling and looking at the camera. Didn't work out so well. We thought if we gave them each a piece of candy they would smile and look up. Nope - almost every picture we took had their mouths full of candy, drool going everywhere. Oh well. This one is good enough:
I spent the afternoon making a bow for Brooklyn's costume. She turned out to be a cute lioness! 
So...for about a month every time someone asked Brayden what he was going to be for Halloween he said, "a SCARY tiger." As soon as I realized he wasn't giving up on it, I gave up on my original idea of him being a devil and Brooklyn being an angel. I bought Brooklyn's angel costume after Halloween last year for $3! The week before Halloween I started looking at Kid to Kid for a tiger costume, expecting their costumes to be pretty picked over. The South Jordan store surprised me and they had quite a few costumes left, and they were all 25% off! I started looking, saw a few, but didn't grab them while I was still looking. Of course a lady came in and grabbed the one tiger costume I was most likely going to get. I kept my eye on her the whole time while she tried to convince her daughter to be a tiger. Lucky for me she wanted to be a giraffe. Yeah! I snatched the tiger costume and didn't let it go.
After I bought it I showed Brayden and this is what he said, "Mom. That is a nice tiger. I want to be a SCARY tiger." It took me a while to convince him that he'll make it scary by growling at everyone. He accepted that explanation and we were done with one costume.
I was going to use the angel costume for Brooklyn, but I would have to buy white sweats to go under it. After buying Brayden such a warm costume for only $5, I decided to find a warm one for Brooklyn. The day before Halloween Josh took Brayden to work so Brooklyn and I headed back to the South Jordan Kid to Kid. I found plenty of costumes and narrowed it down to a lamb and a lion. My mom said a lamb is more girly, but the lion costume was adorable. So what do you do? You try them on in the store and ask everyone in the store. Everyone liked the lion costume better, although the lamb was much more girly. One of the employees grabbed an orange bow and clipped it on the lion and my dilemma was solved! The lion costume was adorable with the big bow on it and now Brooklyn can stay warm while trick or treating!
As it has started to get cold, we've had to bundle up, so I couldn't resist taking pictures of the kids in their cute hats and jackets.
The other day Brayden was naughty so I put him in time out. As soon as he was done, Brooklyn quickly followed and put her nose in the corner. It was hilarious! I couldn't stop laughing as she did it over and over again.
A few weeks ago Josh took the sugar glider cage outside and deep cleaned it, then he brought it inside so it could dry off. I came around the corner and this is what I found: (Look closely at the cage)
She had way too much fun climbing in and out and playing with the little wheel. She's just as curious as her brother!
