Celebrating Halloween!

We had another great Halloween week this year. Between the Pumpkin Patch, school parties, the church carnival, and trick or treating, there's always lots to do! I love Halloween because it feels like the true beginning of the holidays.


The cutest little monkey! I thought I would have a hard time getting Sydnee to put on her costume, but she had fun wearing it and would laugh when she saw it.

Jaxson's costume was G.I. Joe but he preferred to just call himself a ninja. It came with a neat headpiece, but he can't stand anything around his neck or face so I never could get him to wear it. This is at the trunk or treat at the church. They had hot dog roasting, bounce houses, lots of games, and of course... candy!

Shaye and her friend Avery at the church.

Sydnee refused to put down her candy bags. She would scream if you tried to help her carry them. I had to wait till she was distracted to finally put it all away!

Getting ready to go trick or treating with some friends.

Shaye was a dragon warrior, or a chinese ninja as she called it. We died her hair black just on Saturday and boy was it a mess. The dye got everywhere, but she had fun doing something new.


This is why I just had to get Sydnee a monkey costume. This Curious George is her favorite thing in the world. Its the toy she can't sleep without. So here's my favorite monkey with her favorite monkey!

When we got back from trick or treating around the neighborhood, she kids ate hot dogs, decorated some cupcakes, and roasted marshmellows on the fire. I think everyone had a great time!

Sydnee is adorable in that 1st picture! She sounds like Colton I would try to hold his bag for him so he wouldn't dump it all out and he would freak out and grab it with his death grip. I'm glad you guys had fun.
