Spencer's latest favorite: Ketchup. Never mind french fries or nuggets--they are merely a tool to get the ketchup into his mouth. It is gross. I am pretty sure I could fill his sippy with it and he would be one happy camper.
We had a frightfully fun week of Halloween this year. Our ward had their annual Trunk or Treat on Tuesday, the school parade and class party was on Friday, and we went Trick or Treating on Saturday. 
Parker insisted on a scary costume this year, so he went as a skeleton. 
Spencer wore Parker's old lion costume. We practiced all month long on, "What does the lion say?" He roared all night at the ward party but refused on Halloween. It figures!
We made special stops to Grandpa and Grandma Lloyd's house, Marty Rudd's, and to Papa Tom and Grandma Vicki's. 
When we got to my parent's house, Spencer pulled up a chair and started eating his candy. He refused to leave, so we left him with Papa and Grandma.
On our way home, we found a house with a bubble fogger machine--it was the coolest thing! The bubbles were white and filled with fog. When they popped, the fog came out. Justin had fun imitating a cat playing with the bubbles. I think the owner of the machine thought we were crazy.
We ended up with too much candy and a ton of great memories! It was a great Halloween! 
Two weeks before Halloween we made a trip down to Half Moon Bay. Each year there is a big Pumpkin Festival there and it is fun to drive through town and see the pumpkin fields before getting to the beach. We usually go every October to HMB, but we try to avoid the festival because the traffic can be crazy. Well this year, we decided to go on a whim. I am not a spontaneous person, but I thought I would live on the edge for once. The trip down was going smoothly, that is until we were just outside of Half Moon Bay. What should have taken us maybe 20 minutes took almost 1.5 hours. Traffic was crazy! But we survived! 
The weather was beautiful. We found tons of shells, sand dollars, a crab, and a real live starfish! It was definitely worth the trip!
