Happy Halloween

Halloween seemed to last longer than one day this year. Abbie and Josh both had Halloween parties at their schools. Abbie's school does a Halloween parade where they walk from room to room wearing their costumes. Abbie got to lead the parade and was very excited.

Halloween day was filled with anticipation for the kids and a little bit of dread for the parents. It always seems to take forever to get the kids dressed in their costumes and out the door only to have the kids want to head home because they are tired or cold after only a few houses. This year, the kids actually held up pretty well. Even Kelly insisted on walking and did pretty good at keeping up with her older sister and brother. After trick-or-treating we went to some friends house for a little Halloween get together.

All in all, it was a fun night enjoyed by both the kids and adults. And like most Halloween's, we will still be eating the candy for months to come!

Abbie as a Ballerina



















Josh as Spiderman (yes, again)

Look at your little cuties! They looked great! Sad we missed seeing them in person and giving them some candy!

Fun fun. I love the little parade they do at the school. A lot of the schools don't allow any costumes, which is ridiculous, but thank goodness ours still does.

You kids looked darling. I loved little red riding hood. Too bad we didn't run in to you guys this year.

Cute costumes Jill! Did you make them? Halloween definitely lasts long here too. They had the parades and parties too, and now Tanner wants to dress up as a mummy every day.
