Halloween 2011

We had a busy and fun Halloween this year. It seems the older my kids get, the busier Halloween becomes, we always enjoy it though, how can you not like a holiday that's centered around candy?

Our day started with Jayda's class party and parade. The party was cute, but I don't think Jayda knew what to do with me there. I tried to sit back and just observe so that she wouldn't feel suffocated by her mommy. My kid's growing up!
Playing a game, the penguin is her teacher Ms Cmeil, she's been wonderful!
I had to take a picture of this because that girl was going to town on that hat. I've never seen such serious chewing. She's a chewer, it kind of drives me crazy.
Jayda and a few of her cute friends. I've been lucky enough to make friends with their moms as well.
When I was asked where Jayda was, I told them to look for the walking hat. It made it easy to spot her, haha!
Love this girl!

Later that night we geared up and got ready to trick or treat. We stopped at The Petersons who managed to fit the neighborhood in their apartment for Abby's birthday party. It was a fun way to see everyone before snagging candy.

Jayda, Skyler and their adopted brother Jack. We love him!


The kids, including the birthday kitty cat at the Petersons. Deborah threw a rainbow party for her, it was so cute!
Hitting the neighborhood. The weather wasn't too bad, we covered some good ground.


Our four year olds, Jaden, Jack and Skyler. I would have loved to get a picture of Ryley and Jayda, those two are total BFF's, but they were taking their craft seriously, and I was never able to catch up to them quick enough, haha!

Sky's Halloween party was postponed to Monday since his teacher was sick on Halloween. He had a great time too. There was a parade and presentation before I left him to his festivities. While he was walking in the parade his lifted his goggles to wink at me!! It grabbed the attention of the audience and melted my heart. Where did this charmer come from?




It was a good Halloween, and for the record, it's now December, and I just barely threw out the rest of the Halloween candy.
