Holloween 2011 {Better Late, Than Never!}

Yes, Holloween was over a week ago....

Yes I actually have lots of pictures and stories to write about...

But in my defense I've been a tad bit busy with "life" around here...LOL

Here's what we did on Halloween:
Our church has a "Fall Festival" every year in which there's BBQ cook-offs, bounce houses, horse rides, hay rides, and of course, a bull ride! It was a BLAST!

Josh wanted to be "A Knight in Shining Armor" (I think he's quite good at it, myself)

Jenna wanted to be a princess (how approriate since her brother looks after her and is always concerned with where she is to make sure she is safe)

 Julianna wanted to be a puppy (she LOVES puppies!)

Jayden was Tigger (which Joshie wore 4 years ago!)

We had sno cones and they were delicious!

And we had our picture taken on some hay bales....

Hope you celebrated the start of fall and harvest in a fun way!

Happy Halloween

This year for halloween we decided to take the kids to the nearby church since their entire parking lot was being turned into a carnival. This was the first year we actually did something, and it was kinda fun! The kids had a hard time staying awake, but they did enjoy all the people and things to see. The only draw-back was that most of the events were for older kids, so we played a few games and Jason took Joshie on the horses (which he loved!)

As you can tell from the title picture, Jason went as a mechanic, I was a doctor, Joshie a puppy, and Jenna was a pumpkin. Joshie LOVED his puppy costume and was walking around with Ginger before we left pretending to be a puppy...It was funny. Here's some pictures of our night out and of course a video of Joshie bowling for a toy....

We didn't get much candy (mommy was sad since that's the whole point of halloween!). but maybe next year, we'll go trick-or-treating, or something else like that. :) Who knows - we'll have three little monsters then!
