October is the beginning of fun season

Last weekend was the ward Halloween party. Us Brady's decided to submit a chili to the chili cookoff, and we probably would have won, but our Chili somehow turned out EXCEPTIONALLY HOT. By far the hottest chili there. It was so hot that I could not finish more than 3 spoonfulls, it burned your throat. The flavor was great, but we did not win, although it was fun making it. Afterwards there was a trunk or treat which was so much fun.

Alex was dressed as Florence Nightingale, and Archie was a banana. Once she got a hang of it Alex loved running from car to car and holding her bucket out expectantly.

I think Kate should have won the costume contest, she was a fantastic scarecrow.

Last Saturday was also the BYU Homecoming Parade, so Kate and I took the kids and although you can't tell from their faces, we all had a great time.

The annual Brady pumpkin carving contest also took place about a week ago. Tyler won (far right) followed by Devin (far left)

Devin (2nd place) , Ben (3rd place), Tyler (1st place)

Alex also decided that pacifiers were cool. It only took 18 months. She played with it all day, and then was done.

Now for real Halloween, and then on to Thanksgiving!!!!!!
