Halloween

Halloween was great this year!  We started the festivities at bootcamp and the kids had a wonderful time.

Sweet little witch

Throwing rats

I barely got any photos of Liam because he was running around so much.  Here is proof!

Kiddos with Anna, they absolutely adore her!

Then it was home for dinner.  We had our usual for Halloween, tacos.  Then we got ready for trick or treating

Ninjas

They were all very excited

Silly kiddos

My little loves

My heart is full

Maybe next year I will get a whole family theme 

Off to their first house

Mission accomplished

This little lady tried very hard to keep up and loved running up to the doors

Eventually these two became tired so we went back to the house while Chris stayed out a little longer with Liam and the neighbors

Liam and Cade finishing up their trick or treating.

The kids were tired and pretty much went straight to bed once they were all home.  They had a fantastic time and I think next year will be even more intense with all three of them!

Pumpkin Carving

Before I start on anything.  Here is a sweet video of Amelia and her Halloween pj's

Sunday before Halloween we carved our pumpkins.  First it was a trip to Home Depot for other items but we did find another perfect pumpkin.  Colin insisted on carrying it.

The kids played and Amelia sported her sense of fashion.

Love them

Scarlett joined in on the play day.

Once evening came we set up our work station

Liam digging out the seeds

Amelia tried it out too

Colin's turn

They were all semi grossed out by it so Chris and I did most of the work...

...but they did try.

Then it was showers and bed.  Yeah for clean babies!

Here are the finished products

3rd Annual Halloween Party!

Occasionally, the two younger kiddos and I will make a quick stop at Safeway Starbucks so I can grab some groceries in between dropping Liam off at school and dropping Colin off at school, since I have a 30 minute gap.  This particular day these two were being awfully sweet and sharing their pumpkin bread.

Love them!

When we picked Colin up from school we had to grab some little pumpkins for our 3rd Annual Halloween Party!

So fun watching their relationship grow

So sweet

Two years ago I made some little signs with the boys' hands and feet so this year we did Amelia's

The Halloween Party: I invited quite a few people this year and just went with it!  It was so much fun and all of the kids did amazing and we had about 20-25 kids!

Chris was super cooperative with dressing up this year and we went as Woody and Jesse.

Lots of people, ha!

Almost all the kiddos

Then it was time for trick or treating, so the adults took their positions and the kids ran around like crazy

It was so much fun with lots of food and activities, and even the adults had a wonderful time.  Everyone pitched in side dishes and it was all amazing.  I just hope I have the energy to put it on again next year!!
