Gorgeous Halloween

Well, this felt more like a Halloween week, than just the one night occasion, but it was fun for the most part, just busy! We had a trunk or treat on Tuesday night, Reese and Isaac had a preschool Halloween party Wednesday, the girls had a Halloween parade at school on Friday and of course, it was Trick or Treating on Friday night. Luckily, on Friday night it was absolutely gorgeous weather!! It was clear with no wind and warm, probably still in the 50's!! I was too skeptical to wear anything less than my winter parka, but I got hot. It was GREAT!!!!


I actually got Isaac to dress up for the preschool party (he refused to for the trunk or treat the night before) but he was a total crank! I understood why when he barfed later that afternoon!!


We joined with the younger home preschool group for the party. This is most of the kids. Reese is the giraffe on the bench.


Isaac was a huge crank at the trunk or treat until his dad arrived about 45 minutes late. Then he was fine...Daddy's Boy!! His hair was painted red, white, and blue earlier, but now it just looks gray, like his dad's. Hee Hee


The trunk or treat dinner was so packed they ran out of tables so our family ate on the floor. Ken came over after and laid his head in my lap. Of course, our little daddy's boy followed suit.


We brought some friends, Kalli and Rachel, with us to trunk or treat.


Megan in the school parade. She wanted to be a chimney sweep. If you look really closely you can tell she's carrying one of those small fireplace brooms. Ken felt that was a safer option than those big poky brushes you really use to clean your chimney!

Kaitlin wanted to be an ice cream cone. This is the best thing I could come up with. I'm not super happy with how it turned out, but I learn from experience. (I should already know that sewing is not my forte, but I guess I'm still learning that.)


Georgia is Raggedy Ann (in the wrong colors) wearing an old road show costume of mine. Each time (I did it three times) her hair got less and less curly.


Reese wanted to be a tiger, but we only had a Tigger costume, which was okay with him, but it was just enough too small for him that I couldn't let him wear it, so he settle for the giraffe. I think he makes one heck of a cute giraffe though!!





Georgia went trick or treating with her best friend, Jordyn and her mom, and Ken and I took our other kids out. Ken was a great sport and put on his Sumo wrestler costume for our Trick or Treating adventure. I think he was the most popular costume of the night.



I love how realistic Ken's costume is...even the wedgie looks real! :)
