Halloween Round up

Well it's finally over. It has been a long week filled with Halloween activities. All in all we had a lot of fun, and with only a few melt downs. Mostly over having our pictures taken. I will start from last night and work my way backwards.


Last night we went Trick or Treating with Damien's family at his cousin Tina's house. Skylee absolutely refused to join everyone for a group picture. But what can you do right? The first few houses she cried and wouldn't say anything. Go figure. It wasn;t her first time doing this, I think she was just really tired and had been acting cranky all day anyways. But soon she warmed up and was having a great time going door to door. We went from 6-7:30 then stopped at Sonic for hot dogs and corn dogs on our way home. She filled her Scooby Doo bag and was in bed by 9:30. Not bad!





On friday Lenka and Jackson joined us for Fayetteville's Trick or Treat on the Square. All the businesses hand out candy and there are costume contests, pets and fun stuff. It wouldn't be fun without walking all over the plants and picking some right? Skylee changed her mind about Bruno's costume at the last minute. Apparently my buffalo wasn't so good. She dressed him in his dragon costume and he won the small dog award in the costume contest.


It's Batman!!


Bruno loved this bull dog!

Getting ready together!


On Thursday we had a Halloween party at School. The kids played games and did crafts. Then they ate snacks. Fun was had by all! Austin is at the head of the table, and Skylee's other friend Triston is in the orange shirt. Skylee is now declaring Austin her boyfriend.


And here she is hugging on Brian's leg. Brian is Austin's dad and such a good sport.




Cookies from Shelby Lynn's bakery.


Sitting with Flower. Doesn;t she look excited to be in this pic. I love the expressions cats give.


On Wednesday we visited the pumpkin patch. Skylee took this picture of these creepy scarecrows. Yuck.


Abe and Levi joined us with their Grandma Linda. Isn't Levi such a sweet boy? Abe never stood still long enough for a picture. He had a great time crashing the wagons down the hill.

Queen of the pumpkins. And might I add she really didn't wear this shirt every day. It just kind of looks like that. But we did try to get a lot of use out of it before Halloween was over.


A rare moment of these two being nice and sweet to each other.


Playgroup Halloween party. This was held at the Prarie Grove Battlefield and was pot luck style. It was the one day of the week that the high was not so high. I think it was in the low 40's by the time the party rolled around.
Wouldn't be a party with out throwing leaves on our friends.

Of course we had to sit next to Austin's family at the party. Skylee had the best time playing with Austin and his dad and uncle.

This morning we went bargain shopping and bought a costume for Bruno for next year. Once again Skylee shot down the hot dog. She picked him out a lobster costume. So maybe I can make her a mermaid costume or something to match it next year.
