Happy Halloween

Rylee and his friends went to

their first Halloween haunted

houses this year.

 

I was worried, but KC said they all

did really great.  There was even an

Insane Asylum one that figured out

Rylee's name so they called him and

said it throughout the whole thing.

He said it was so creepy.

 

 

Cody got a new Halloween shirt!

It was Abe Kruger and I couldn't resist.

I knew he would love it!

 

It's a very delicate process to

pick out just the right pumpkin.

 

and carving is very serious

business around here.

 

Ry had the great idea to have

his pumpkin eating a baby pumpkin.

It turned out so good!

 

Aren't they cute!

 

We roasted our pumpkin seeds

this year for the first time.

Delicious!

and then it was time for zombies

 

 

Kade kept messing with his scars

so they weren't sticking very good

by picture time.  :(

but he still looks creepy

 

 

 

and we also had a vampirate

 

Don't they look so good!?!

 

Cody is such a ham!

I love him!

 

 

My boys are growing up.

Very sad sad sad for this mom!

 

Halloween is always so crazy for us.

We get ready and head to all the

grandparents houses in a quick hurry

to make it back so we can Trick or Treat

at dark.  It's rush rush rush and takes

a lot time.  But I know it's important

to do so we do it every year.

For the last few years I have dreamed

of the year I get to just stay home

and pass out candy while the boys

go and do their own thing.

I missed last Halloween because

I was with my sister at dr appointments

in Arizona.  And then this year Rylee

decides to ditch me and go Trick or Treating

with his friends.  I was devastated!

My first baby to leave me on a major

holiday event.  Not doing it as

a family this year just wasn't the same.

I know this is only the beginning of

lots of change as all the boys

are getting older.

I hate it!

Sorting the candy.

We kinda got to a late

start this year, so the bounty

wasn't as great.
