Halloween

Here is pretty much a typical situation- I told them to stand there, Rowan wants to walk, and Noah, trying to be helpful, pretty much tortures the baby.. Which now she totally overreacts to.

At least they were all smiling... by this time, I was NOT.

He is getting so big! I feel bad that I expect so much from him, he IS only 4- but since there are so many younger then he is, he really does have to help a lot. Here he even looks old! We haven't been able to find his light saber since we had a bunch of kids over to play- he didn't seem to mind that much and later said that it would be too hard to hold his light saber AND his Trick or Treat bag- and given the choice, he picked the candy!

On the 30th I helped drive kids from Noah's preschool class to the Pumpkin patch. We paid for Ellie to go also and they both had a great time! I figured this would be the best party to help with this year since things are just going to get more Chaotic!

Again, the strangle hold on Rowan to keep her in place. She had a great time just wandering around and touching the pumpkins.

Rowan did make a darling bee and I love this picture in front of my parents house. Ellie wore this costume last year so if anyone want it for NEXT year- it's an 18-34 month size!!

Halloween used to be my favorite Holiday. I love candy and I love to dress up. However; I DO NOT love how crazy and emotional my kids get, and how stressful it is to actually get them IN their costumes when they are excited and amped on sugar. They DO look darling though and I think I will love it again in a few years. We handed out a lot of their trunk or treat candy at our front door later- so we are already getting near the end of it. Great idea, Erin, by the way!
