The start of the end

This is the start of the end of the year. Halloween is always a good indication that the year is almost over. I just wish there was some way to slow down the holidays.
I first have to say that my pictures suck. They suck bc my kids will NOT hold still to take a picture anymore. Plus getting them to keep their costumes on was almost near impossible.
Halloween is not one of my favorites, but the kids make it more exciting for me. Especially Boston. She was shockingly very into trick or treating. I shouldn't have been that shocked bc it's a pretty well known fact that the girl loves food and loves chocolate. So it didn't take her long to figure out how to hold her pumpkin high and say please and thank you to anyone holding a treat. I thought that after the first hour of walking she would be tired and want me to hold her candy for her, but she would not let go and insisted on stopping at every door. Chi of course was pretty mellow all night, very curious about all the costumes. His crazy grandma who dressed up as a scary witch let her scream out at every innocent child that passed by, which didn't help the poor kid. It made Chi a little hestitant about the whole night. On thursday Malachi's preschool had a costume party. This is my iron man and little lamb that refused to keep her adorable ears on.
Iron man and Optimus Prime came head to head at the party.

Iron man for the 2nd year in a row. It's going to be a sad day when this costume doesn't fit anymore.

We went up to Poulsbo to trick or treat with grandma and papa and I let Chi pack one of his bags on his own, which included his costume. He carried that backpack around for an hour before we left the house, but somehow it managed to not make it in the car. So my mom ran out to find a costume...pirates was all that was left in his size. He did not like it at all.

She was a little better about keeping her ears on for me on Halloween. The distraction of candy might have something to do with it.

Yep chocolate and more chocolate.

We hope you all had a fun and safe Halloween and look forward to hearing from and seeing our friends and family over the next few months.
