Happy Halloween


Halloween was a busy time for us this year! Jason had to work during our trick-or-treat, so we took the kids to my mom and step-dad's. Their night was different than ours so by going there Jason and my mom both got to see the kids in their costumes. They looked fabulous of course.


Batman was very good at using his cape...


...and the chicken was very lovable.


I'm a party helper for Xander's kindergarten class, so Friday I spent some time there getting to meet all of his classmates. Xander has a love-hate relationship with the bumblebee.


Jordis was a hit with the staff and students, although there was much debate among the children about whether she was a duck, chicken or rooster. She made herself right at home though and was a good girl for me while I did crafts with Xander's friends.


Those kids wore me out, but it was a fun morning.


On Halloween night I took the kids around our neighborhood for trick-or-treat. Along the way we ran into some of our neighbor friends. Megan, the Angel, is Jordis' friend, and Xander sits on the bus with Lauren, the pink toothbrush. Evan, the toothpaste, is Lauren's little brother.


Xander wouldn't ring any one's doorbell, so Jordis did all the work.


They had a great time!


Then we got tired. We were only four houses from home, but Jordis was emphatic in her demand that she take a rest before we got there.


After sorting and trading, we had some candy and called it a night.

Love their costumes! That chicken costume is awesome, she looks adorable! Also, the toothbrush and toothpaste were so creative! That is hilarious that Jordis had to stop and rest. Kids are too funny.
