Halloween!

I know this is a little late, but I have to post the pictures :) So this is the last of our Halloween posts.  On Saturday our ward had a Skeleton Bowl (Kinda like a turkey bowl, but for halloween).  It was a football game between our Elder's quorum and another ward's, and they had to dress up.  Our team was the scalawags, (or pirates).  I was impressed--they went all out with wigs and costumes.  We definitely won, which was good because the team organizer already made us shirts saying "skeleton bowl champions", ha. The whole thing was pretty entertaining to watch.  Landon won the MVP of the game.  I feel cool by association :) He even got a sweet trophy!

The MVP himself. Arrrrrgh!

For the ward party, Landon dressed up as Wolverine.  I thought it turned out pretty good--especially since he's been letting his hair grow for weeks.  Our only regret was that he had to shave for the intramural game earlier that day, so he couldn't have the beard.  Since I helped Landon get his two costumes together, I didn't seem to have time to find one of my own.  But it was fun watching him, anyway.

On Halloween night we carved some pumpkins. Landon did a pretty impressive pillsbury doughboy and I did a haunted house. We were excited to be in a complex with children this year, but it turned out we only got two teenaged trick-or-treaters. Slightly disappointing. So we have lots of candy sitting around--it's a good thing I'm allowed to gain weight right now, ha.

In other exciting news, we went in for our 11 week appointment a while ago.  They were supposed to let us hear the baby's heartbeat, but it turned out they couldn't find it. So they took us in for an ultrasound.  Everything is great. The doctor said the baby was just moving around so much, he couldn't seem to catch it on the Doppler device. It's true, the baby was doing flips and moving all over the place on the ultrasound. But it looks like a healthy little alien right now, which I'm told is all normal :) Plus, my nausea has greatly subsided, so things are good!
