Halloween 2012

Halloween was a blast with my crew although Halloween is my least favorite holiday.  I don't mind a little bit of candy but the whole halloween thing is just creepy to me.  But we enjoy getting together with our buddies the Tillmans since the girls were 2 and 3, now 8.  The kids were excited about our evening festivities!

We went to the Tillmans first to pick them up and take a few pics....





LOVE these kiddos.



Me and my babies on our way to a trunk-or-treat...

Our church wasn't having a trunk-or-treat so we visited a nearby church for theirs.  It was kinda small and we were in and out with a ton of candy in about 15 minutes.


They were even giving out free hot dogs and cotton candy.  You better believe our crew jumped on that one!

Brayden and Nathan...

We were out of the first one so early so we decided to go to another neighboring church that was having one as well.  We had some time to kill before the trick-or-treaters started coming.  







There were some great costumes!



There was a "princess" sitting on this convertible and Lucy was enamored with her.  She just kept staring like she was starstruck!



The kids and their loot....





While Paige was setting up our hot chocolate stand, I took our kids just down her street to trick-or-treat.  They already had enough candy and we wanted to do our annual hot chocolate stand.

In front of Paige's house, we passed our revival fliers (its next week) and free hot chocolate to trick-or-treaters.  It was a hit as always!

Karis and Brayden did such a good job passing out fliers.

It was a great Halloween!

Now...I have a problem.  How am I going to look at these SIX gallon size bags of candy and not eat it all day long?!?!

Happy Halloween from my little friends!

Happy Halloween from my little friends who came in looking all cute and spiffed up in their orange and pumpkins!


Attempt at a group picture...


Lucy started crying because she got hurt and Everett got upset she was upset.  This was followed by huge crocodile tears!  Such a tender heart!

My little princess...



Jake was in the other room by this point...



Lucy now says, "Sassy!" when I take her picture and Jake says, "Batman!"  haha
Looking forward to spending some quality time with my kiddos tonight for all the festivities!  Bring on the candy!

iPhone dump

 Considering doing the Daniel Fast soon...it would be good spiritually as well as physically!

Lucy really wants to do gymnastics and often puts this on when we are home and flips all over the house!

Where is Waldo Brayden?! 

Some of my favorites from this week...

 Friday Karis had western day at school and this was before she left that day.  I love these two!


One cutie patootie western girl!


Meeting my new niece Amelia last weekend...
 

It has been super cold around here especially at night.  Brrrr!

Did any of you feel the "earthquake" we had this week?  I didn't feel it however I read this article and several people on Facebook said they felt it!

Monday morning Lucy and Jake were found reading their Bibles and said they were playing church.  Melts my heart!!!

The kids have been riding the bus in the morning also this week.  Here we are waiting for the bus EARLY (like 7:05 early)!!!
I am wanting to do this with the kids...cute!

I have been glued to the news from Hurricane Sandy as I am sure you all have been...so devastating!  Today I am thankful for a dry, warm house with electricity!
