Happy Halloween!

Tonight we all went trick-or-treating, even though it was SO cold! Megan went along with us, and we called her cousin Timmy - she went up to every door with the kids. We all had a lot of fun, saw some really well decorated houses, and the kids got lots of candy (which we will have to sample for them). Chris and I even dressed up ... kind of!
All the kids (and Megan!) counting up their loot!
This is after a few hours of trick-or-treating in the cold, I'm more tired than the kids!
Cooper was dressed up as Super-Cooper - but he was SO excited with all the kids and people and chaos - so he had to calm down in his crate!
Megan (or Timmy, as we called her for the night) with her big brother ... nice hair, Chris!
The kids up at someones door
So I was wearing Trent's jersey and Wyatt's helmet - and that is the first "costume" I have worn for years!
Hi there Bailey-bell, tinkerbell, fairy girl!
Somehow Chris squeezed his head into one of the kids helmets!

Carving Pumpkins!

Well, leave it to us to carve our pumpkins two days before halloween - but atleast we bought them over a week ago ... faceless pumpkins sitting on our door stoop! Tonight we finally let the kids take the plunge into the innards of the pumpkins - they loved getting all dirty! For some reason, my camera didn't work for the "after" pictures (could be because our beloved camera has been dropped more than a few times - and is currently super-glued together!), but we had a lot of messy fun, and the pumpkins really turned out quiet well!
Bailey has a new hat!

A night at the Boys & Girls Club Carnival

Tonight the Boys & Girls club held a Halloween Carnival, so we costumed up the kids (and we had Isaiah for the night, too!) and went down for some fun. The place was packed, and the kids looked great! Bailey loved being able to get more and more candy - she is such a sugar fiend!
Wyatt doing a spidey-like stretch for candy!

Dane doesn't need a costume, he just comes as himself ... (Just kidding, Dane!!!)

Sierra & Olivia!!!!

Sierra and Olivia arrived on 10/17, and are leaving today (10/21) the days with them FLY by - but we make sure to have a lot of fun! We went shopping, did our nails, did hair stuff, played with makeup, snuggled, watched movies and had a lot of family time. Here is Sierra with little cousin, Isaiah ...
No drool about it - Isaiah is the CUTEST baby!

Ahh, fun with hair!

We bought some all natural rinses for our hair tonight - Sierra and Olivia had to walk around for 20 minutes with the product on their heads ... beauty takes so much work!
Olivia making some super silly face!
Sierra waiting for her hair to finish
Whoa - Dane is getting a haircut! He wouldn't let me take pictures after - but, he really did get (Some) of that crazy hair cut off!

Sierra & Olivia go back to Kindergarten

Today we offered to volunteer at the school - Trent's class had quiet time activities, so we promised to volunteer there next time the girls were in town - but Wyatt's teacher planned a hard activity and needed our help. Wyatt loved having us in class, Sierra and Olivia really liked being the helpers, and I really enjoyed getting to know many of Wyatt's friends a little better!
