Happy Boo to You!

This year's Haloween festivities were particularly fun-tastic as we had Grandma and Grandpa join us all the way from the great country of Canada.

On Thursday night we went to the Trunk or Treat activity at the church. This year Brayden rewore his good ol dragon costume (despite a new self consciousness over the bulging belly), and after much costume drama, Makenna settled on this sweet Pink Poodle.
On Friday we let the kids skip out on school so we could enjoy a beautiful day at the pumpkin patch. The weather was gorgeous, the crowds were gone, and the activities were a-plenty. It was a PARTY!



On Friday night, of course there was Trick or Treating. It's hard to tell from the picture but our pumpkins were spooktacular!
Brielle was just the cutest little chick-don't you think. It's too bad she hated her costume with a passion. The only thing that could distract her from her costume-induced misery was candy...which fortunately seemed to be everywhere in great abundance. I guess it all worked out. I hope you all had a Happy Haloween too!

Sounds like a blast! We recently had Dave's mom here for a visit and we let the kids skip school on a Friday too. Spending time with grandparents (especially those so far away) is so important.

Mikaila asks me everytime I'm looking at blogs to "see Mckenna". She sure misses her. Love the costumes!

You guys looked like you had so much fun on Halloween! That is great. All the kids costumes were super cute and I loved Brielle as a duck. I'm also so happy that your parents got to be there too. I bet that made it even more fun.

cute pictures! that is so funny, sophie had the same little costume (and i do mean little, because i found hers at "once upon a child" and it was in a size 6-12 months). we kept calling her our little funky chicken, and she thought she was so hilarious in it.

hope y'all are doing well!
