Halloween

We had a very Happy Halloween week! The kids have been counting down to Halloween ever since the first of October. Logan was so excited when we were on the countdown in the single digits. So, we read a lot of Halloween books. Nate the Great and the Halloween Hunt was Logan's favorite and Fancy Nancy Halloween or Bust! was Addie's favorite. We also had fun carving pumpkins later in the week. On Friday night, we went to Trunk or Treat at our church and Saturday night was the real deal, Trick or Treating! It was cold on Saturday night and there were lots of little ones out and about. Our neighborhood had lots of houses that really get into Halloween. Fire pits were also a very popular thing this year. David's parents came over to help out so David and I both got to take Logan and Addie out. After trick-or-treating, we had some surprise visitors, the kids' cousins. That was the icing on the cake for kids! I think it was a perfect night, at least for Logan and Addie. Poor Sam was feeling a little under the weather but we managed to put him in a festive outfit to at least get a picture. This outfit was worn by both Logan and Addie. It's a tradition but we were planning on putting him in a cute, cute Dumbo costume that was borrowed from his cousin. Oh well, the night was still filled with excitement. I don't think Sam minded one bit that he missed out on the Dumbo costume!

Here is our princess with her very favorite thing...BUBBLE GUM!!!!!

Pretty cousins... (Thanks Ashton for the beautiful princess costume!!)

Here is our knight... (His favorite part of this outfit was the sword. I think he got a few people when he was going in for their candy. Thank you Jackson for this great costume!)

Here they are in front of the scary house! The princess has no reason to be afraid of the scary man behind her because she had a handsome knight standing right beside her. He seriuosly carried that sword just like that the whole time around!

And here is our little pumpkin all tired and wondering when he was going to bed!!!
It was a great holiday! We got WAY TOO MUCH CANDY! I believe the candy fairy will be making a visit to our house very soon to take the candy back to Candyland!
