Wow. No, not going to give excuses...

Halloween was great this year! We decorated cookies, carved pumpkins, visited a pumpkin patch, got dressed up and went trick-or-treatin'! Fun was had by all, I'm sure! :)

Crazy Hair and Halloween

Last week was Red Ribbon week at school. Brandon was especially looking forward to Crazy Hair Day. We spiked it, but it was too bad we didn't have any color (we'll have to do that next year). Usually his hair is just flat and normal so this is crazy for him.

Megan's hair aws fun, too. She loved it. :) Kate didn't have time to do much so no pics of her. She just put it in a side ponytail (funny how the 80s hair is "crazy" now. lol!)

Halloween!!!

Halloween was fun this year. The kids all had fun costumes and we did a variety of activities. We started out carving pumpkins the weekend before:

Then the day of we went around to the houses on our street before we headed to the trunk or treat at the church. When we got home our neighbors were having a party for everyone and had lots of fun games for the kids and such. It was kind of a late night, but the kids had a blast! Brandon was not wanting his picture taken at all so there are very few of him...

Halloween Fun!

It was quite the eventful day! We had a fun little Halloween party to go to in the morning. The kids played a fun Halloween Bingo game and then made ghost lollipops and decorated a pumpkin sugar cookie. The moms all brought a dish to share so we had some yummy food and lots of chatting going on. Then after I picked up all the kids from school I took them to Hobby Lobby and we picked up some canvas bags and fabric pens so they could decorate their own trick-or-treat bags. They had a blast doing that and were all so proud of their creations! Then it was off to the church for Trunk or Treat. It was the perfect weather for the event and everyone had a great time. Carli got especially excited when she learned the bag was for putting candy in and everyone was just giving it to her! She was so cute in her little witch costume. Brandon was Spiderman again, Kate was Belle, and Megan was Sleeping Beauty. The girls love getting to wear mom's make-up and putting on sparkly powder.

Carli as our little witch. This is my favorite picture.
