Well of course there was no question as to what Hunter would choose as far as a Halloween costume went. The big question was whether to be Optimus Prime or Bumblebee.
We went around to all the stores and Target had the best quality for the best price. Deke and I loved the Optimus costume but bug was sold on the Bumblebee one so Bumblebee it would be. 
Of course he was in true Transformer character, he would lift the mask as we walked from house to house and then "transform" with full sound effects as he approached each door. 
He loved trick or treating and especially loved the house we went to that had a man disguised as a ninja perched on his roof.
One of the funniest parts of the night was when Deke walked Hunter up to a house that had a strobe light on. I think the strobing threw off his depth perception because Hunter walked up and ran straight into the front door, smack right with his face.
Deke and I tried to hide our laughter since he was so serious about it, he gets very into character. I was so excited when we decided to have Avery be Snow White because it was so fitting for her with her dark hair. 
She was so sweet, at first she was a little apprehensive but then once she got the hang of it she loved it. She would follow Hunter up to the door and then say "treeeat" and once they put it in her bag she would run back to us yelling "I got some daddy, I got some."
We went trick or treating around the neighborhoods for two hours and she walked the whole time in that dress and flip flops. She refused to let us carry her or help her carry her bag that by the end of the night she was practically dragging behind her. It was so sweet to watch the kids we all really enjoyed it this year.

We have a tradition that every year we make "ghost pancakes" for the kids with different scary faces. They are so easy to make and the kids get such a kick out of them.
This is Hunter's monster pizza :)
We let Hunter design and carve his own pumpkin this year which he was more than ecstatic about. He did a great job for only being five I was so proud of him he is so cute :)
Well even though her hair is thick, Avery's hair is taking its dear sweet time growing long. I was so excited this weekend to be able to finally get it into some pony tails. 
She looks really sweet in them so of course I had to get some shots of them. The only thing I don't like is that it really makes her look like a two year old now.
I can't wait to go and get some little ribbons to put in them it will look so cute. She knows she looks cute to and kept going up to Deke and saying, "look daddy ponies," it was cracking us up. Thank goodness for the change in the weather the kids are finally able to play outside for more than ten minutes which they are loving. 
They love to chase each other around the front yard. Well Hunter loves to chase Avery that is.
We also finally found a new house which we will be moving into on the 14th which we are excited for. I am so behind on my blogging it is not even funny, one of these days I will hopefully get caught up on it, we will see :) New computer one of these days then I will be back to getting to blog on a regular basis, I sure do miss it.
I can talk to Erin about anything and she is the best friend you will find.
They have three sweet little kids who play with our kids so well. 
We had such a wonderful visit with them and can't wait to see them again, we love you Grant family!!! 
He is a people person, there is no such thing as a stranger to him and he makes friends so easily. He has an amazing vocabulary, he started talking in full sentences at 18 months and has always used words that are very advanced for his age. He still refers to himself as Hunterbug or his full name "Hunter William Bugalicious Burch" He still calls his bum a "pinchable" and tells me all the time that he loves me 29 pounces (instead of pounds). He already has such a sweet little testimony of the gospel and is such a good big brother. He is so inventive and extremely creative and what else can I say but that he is sooooo special to Deke and I and our entire family. 
For his birthday I made some homemade meatball subs since they are his favorite Subway sandwich since he was like two.
We went with Grandpa and Grandma McWhorter to SunSplash for the day and had a blast. 
But I think that one of his favorite parts of the day was getting to wake up and build his new Transformers with daddy. Hunter has the cutest freckles I absolutely LOVE THEM!!!
We weren't even thinking of having a baby yet when we got pregnant with Hunter, we just all of a sudden were. Hunter came into our lives and has brought more joy to us than can be expressed. He is such a special little person I can not even describe what I mean when I say that. We love you so much Bug, our big five year old!!
