Happy Halloween!

I hope everyone had a fun Halloween! We had fun once the trick-or-treating started. It was a process getting Ethan and Mia's costumes on because they were so crabby. Riley put hers on with no problems. Ethan was an elephant, Mia was a duck, and Riley was a ladybug. My niece, Janai, was a karate fighter, Noah was buzz light year, and Jude was a pig. They were all so cute.

I started out having to carry both Ethan and Riley. (My arms are so sore!) We went up to the first house, and they really had no idea what was going on. The person dropped a candybar into their pumpkin baskets and Ethan looked down and saw it. He gave me a look like, what's going on? We went to the second house, they got even more candy, and they were SO excited. They caught on quickly. Mia was really giddy. She was laughing and jabbering the entire time, especially when she got even more candy. It was so funny. We went to one house, and an elderly man answered the door. He gave everyone candy and Mia was the only one left. She started jabbering and it sounded like she was almost chewing him out for not giving her any candy. We overheard the elderly gentleman say, "Don't worry. I'm not going to forget you. I'll give you some." I wish I was recording her!

After we filled up their buckets, we headed over to a Halloween party. They had lots of cute decorations and treats for the kids. The kids were kind of crabby, so I'm wondering if we're going to get invited back. :) We stayed there for a couple of hours and called it a night. We were all pretty worn out! Overall, it was a fun night! I can't wait for next year.

Putting crabby boy's costume on. He threw a huge fit when I tried. Mike had a hard time too.

She's starting to say "cheese" when I take her picture.

What a cute, happy piggie!

A guy handed out fruit juice. The kids LOVED it. Maybe we'll do that next year.

A miracle. They are all looking--at Sarah, but I'll count it.

My three goblins at the Halloween party. Notice how they are all hanging on my leg?

I think this suits her perfectly!

Buzzing off sugar. I let them eat all the candy they wanted, which wasn't the best idea because they were up really late.
