Halloweeners

I finally have a few minutes in between holding sick babies to post Halloween pictures from last week. We had a very busy week! I love it and love getting the kids in their costumes so many times because it makes me feel like they weren't such a waste of money! ha!

Here is Reese at her class Halloween party, she wanted to be a kitty this year and we already had black pants and a black shirt, so all I had to get her were the ears/tail and she's all set!
She couldn't have been happier....

Reese and her two of her BFF's who are in the same class,
and who also happen to go to church with us. Sometimes they can be a little "chatty" as her teacher puts it!
In between the Kindergarten party and the big kid parties, I ventured back over to the school to watch the Homecoming Parade with Ally. It's a tradition for this school to have their Homecoming parade during school and they go right past our elementary and all the kids get to sit outside and watch.
I think this guy was impersonating Michael Jackson...
I love school spirit!

Then we headed back inside for the school costume parade. At this point Brayden was feeling a little under the weather, so he was home resting.

Reese and two of her BFF's waiting for the parade to start

Ally's teacher, Mrs. Adriance. We absolutely love her! Unfortunately for us, her costume did NOT protect us from getting very sick a few days later....
A little visit to Ally's class party. I love moments like this!

On the night before Halloween, I let the kids each invite 3 school friends over for a little Halloween Party. We had a blast making monsters, eating caramel popcorn, watching scary movies and just being silly.

Buddies Ethan, Aaron and Brayden being their usual selves...

The whole gang!

Olivia and Reese concentrating on their monsters...this is serious business!
Right before i shot this photo, their other BFF Mia decided to hide under the table....

Owen helping dad rake a bazillion leaves that fell on Halloween day....poor kid was already starting to feel yucky. We had no idea what was coming!

Ward Trunk or Treat night....
the beginnings of a TON of candy...
(these series of photos are out of order, but I'm too lazy to go back and fix them!)

The White Ninja!

Owen's costume after he ate too many M & M's and spit them out

Hey pirate girl! Got any candy?

Ally had some friends join us for trick or treating.
She is growing up now and thinks she needs a social life!And last but not least, the fab-four all dressed and ready to go. Owen does not like group photos!
