Halloween Night

Halloween this year was such FUN!!
The holidays are so much sweeter with children. Watching their utter and complete joy is my favorite part. Being a mom sure is great.
We met up with Wyatt, Tammy and 3 cute boys to trick-or-treat. Boy did they kids make a haul! Their pumpkins were FULL. Kennedy had to empty her full pumpkin into another empty bag and then filled hers up again. Between their hoards of candy, and the almost free candy (as in $.50 per HUGE bag) I got with coupons on clearance after Halloween, I think we're set until next halloween.
Meet our little garden gnome. Hilarious. You should see his pointy shoes.
Flapper girl Reagan. Or "dada" as she calls it for some reason.
Every time I would ask if she's being a flapper girl, she would say "I call it a dada." Nothing to do with her dad, (I think?!) just a weird little name she made up for it.


GENIE!! Kennedy was so excited for her costume. And majorly bummed that I made her wear a shirt and socks. It was a pretty big fight to get her jacket (not even coat) on when it was finally too cold. I remember being the same way, I was so mad every year my mom made me wear my dang coat UNDER my costume. My how the tables have turned.

Click on the picture to enlarge it, and check out this face. This was the first candy he got and was peeved when I wouldn't let him have it. You should have seen him when I took it away. WOW. Needless to say the sugar set in pretty quick and he was crazy hyper. The red stained beard, well .. we'll pretend his a zombie garden gnome.

My kind of trick or treating. What a good dad.

oh no I'm not! Em had LOTS of stuffing on under her pumpkin and it was a rather "warm" night. Your kiddies are sooo cute. I just want to squeeze them.
