Happy Halloween!!

As everyone knows last night was Halloween. I have to admit that I am not a huge Halloween fan but I do enjoy seeing the kids dressed up and having fun. That translates to... in a few year Chris will be the one taking the girls around trick or treating while I stay home and hand out candy.

This year we did it together. It was R's 1st Halloween and the 1st that K really got into it.

Isn't she the cutest little kitty you have ever seen?


The only thing missing were the boys. They left that afternoon to head to their dads house. Before they left I wanted to get a few pictures of the 4 kids together.

And this is how it went....

I called the boys over with the girls and all the kids were in order except for the toddler..


Exhibit A

Said toddler was running around all over the place. The oldest teen went to get her and this is what took place...


Exhibit B

And this is what happens when you try to take a picture of a still unwilling 2 year old.


Exhibit C

So plan B happened... notice the orange just above C's shoulder. That would be Daddy! Yup, K was find as long as Daddy was holding her...

Exhibit D

When all the pictures were taken. We went home and had a little fun before trick or treating...



And of course, the shot of Daddy and his 2 little girls!


After that we went off trick or treating where K had a blast. We walked around with a few neighbors and Kennedi was such a big girl and kept up with all the older boys!

I hope everyone had a great Halloween.

TRICK OR TREAT!

Just a reminder, if you click on the picture it comes up bigger.

I guess when you hit high school you are still not too old to trick or treat! Conner and some of his buddies decided to head out for some Halloween fun. I told Conner that he could still trick or treat IF he had a costume. I hate when kids get older and go out for some candy and don't dress up. Looks like he followed my rules.

The Fruit of the Loom Guys! Conner is the orange... the other guys are guys he has been friends with since early on in elementary school.

1st stop for Kennedi was Grandma and Papa's house (before the rain came).

She was not to sure about this Halloween thing!
Kennedi was very happy that Daddy was off and could go with us. I think Daddy was thrilled too!

It did not take her long to figure it out

She was a pro by house #2. She would not let go of her bucket and she stood there while they gave her candy. Sometimes even after they gave her the candy. There were even houses that gave her candy and then let her grab some. I am sure they thought she would grab just 1 but they were wrong. She would take a handful.

Ding dong.... trick or treat.

Kennedi and Mommy

The last house.... ours! Trick or Treat, Avery!

Avery and Kennedi

She went from Garden Gnome to Victoria Secret model.... Kennedi that is!


It was a fun night! Kennedi went to about 15 houses and got a bucketful of candy. She was so cute! She did not get that we were supposed to leave after they gave her some candy. She wanted to stay and chat for a little while.

Avery was the big boy this year. He said early on that he wanted to stay home and give out candy. He was the smart one actually since it rained the whole time. There were a ton of kids in the neighborhood but we live so far back and there are not too many houses on our road that we only had 2 kids come by. Hmmm guess we will be eating some candy for awhile!

I hope that everyone had a great time trick or treating.... can't wait to do it again next year!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
