Halloween


This was a busy Halloween!  The kids got to dress up in their costumes three times.  On Thursday, we went to the church's annual Trunk-or-Treat and carnival.  We were blessed with great weather.  Then the boys went to a Halloween party and dressed up again.  They had such a great time, and Joey was so happy to have treats that he wasn't allergic to!  He wasn't left out of anything!  Thank you Kelly:)

Here are the kids posing before we left for the church.  Notice Grace decided to be a Power Ranger.  I don't think there will be any princess costumes in our future.  Andrew was a ninja, Joey was a knight, and Matt wore the warm Simba outfit (every child of ours has worn that one!).

Isn't that little lion face the cutest?!

On Halloween, we had to stop at Grandma's so she could get a picture.

Then we had to stop at Sister Harris's house because she's our favorite person in the world.  What would I do without her on Sundays?  Since Ben sits on the stand, it's not easy with five little ones.  But she usually has more of my kids with her than I do with me.

She gave the kids lots of treats, and Matthew was intrigued.  Ring the door and get candy?   Awesome!  I wonder if he'll always expect that.

This is our neighbor's house.  They always make a special bag of treats for the kids.

I thought this was just so cute, I had to take a picture.  Matthew would not put his candy in his trick or treat bag.  Everytime I tried to take it away, he screamed at me.  So he just carried it around to each house.  He tried to go into several of the houses, but he got it figured out.  After awhile, he was just happy to walk with daddy.
