Halloween Happiness

Last week Grandma Wagener sent us a Halloween package! There were stickers and window clings in the box! All of the kids loved the window clings and they worked together for 15 minutes to get them all up on the slider! It was the best gift ever!





At some point last week Brayden and I made our annual Halloween cookies! They turned out yummy!





Last weekend we attended the twins group Halloween party. We made a 15 minute appearance and then we had to be on our way. It wasn't a very good morning for any of the kids. Part of it may have had to do with the costumes. It took longer to get all the gear on than the amount of time they actually wore it.

Now all we have left to do is carve all of those pumpkins (and trick-or-treat)! We had a sad morning last week when we woke up and B looked out into the driveway and saw two of our four pumpkins smashed! He was in tears and so upset, because he chose those at the pumpkin patch. He wanted to go back and get some more. I convinced him that we still had enough to carve (I wasn't going to go through that again) and he seemed ok with it. He's still telling everyone, "Mean people smashed our pumpkins on our driveway." It was so sad having to try to explain why someone would do that to a four year old. :(
One more week 'til the sugar rush!

Oh my heavens! Seriously I wish I could slap all the people who hurt little kids feelings by taking or damaging their items on display. This has happened to Nolan twice! Also, our paper mache animals were stolen off our back patio. grr. What is the point people!? Don't get me started.
As for your adorable children in their costumes, way to go. They are cute! You are such a good momma. 15 minutes is a long time for all of them to stay focused. We should all hope for that.
