HALLOWEEN 2009!!!



Halloween Fun 2009...Our little Police Officer and Jailbird!

This was the craziest, busiest, most fun Halloween to date! I have to admit, before I had kids, Halloween was not my thing. I never got into dressing up as an adult (still don't actually). But, now that we have kiddos - I LOVE it! I love seeing all my favorite little people dressed up and SO excited about Trick or Treating. Our neighborhood goes ALL OUT, which is also part of the fun. Lots of decorations, costumes, candy and Halloween spirit. It was like a street party in our neighborhood on Halloween night. After Carson's soccer game at 2, we headed over to his friend Sam's house. The Wenaas' hosted a really fun Halloween party complete with games, bounce house and lots of food. Then at 5:30, we hosted a "Trick or Treat Pre-Party"...taco soup, cornbread, lots of treats for the kids (and adults!)and LOTS of picture taking. Carson was a "T or T" professional this year...we could barely keep up with him...he and his little pack of friends sprinted from house to house. Collier was happy to ride in the wagon (which doubled as a cooler for the "adult treats") and just watch all the excitement. We laughed about how different they (the babies) were this year...last year they were just little lumps of baby laying on Lara's couch staring at each other!

Pumpkin Patch Trip #2


Here is a pic from our second trip to the pumpkin patch. WOW...this was the muddiest place I have ever been. The boys were covered...I mean COVERED...in mud when we left. We went with "Stepping Stones"...our Elementary age fellowship group at church. Although the weather wasn't the greatest, oh and did I mention the mud?, the kids had a blast!
