HaPpY hALLoWeEn!

Since Halloween was on Sunday the kids went to church dressed in their "Halloween" best.
That afternoon they got dressed in their costumes. The girls were princesses according to their hair color and Carter was the frog that got kissed by a princess.
Belle
Cinderella
Ariel Frog Prince
Carter did not want to wear his hat which was okay because it was too small anyway. He has a head just like his Daddy!We took the kids to Foundry's Fall Festival. This is a great community outreach for the church with lots of fun things for the kids to do.
The multiple bounce houses were a huge hit and kinda crowded so we didn't get to go in any of them.We took a train ride around the parking lot of the church. Trains are one of Carter's favorite things right now. Lily was petrified for some unknown reason and clung to Mike just like that the whole ride.
The girls each got a tattoo.
Then we stopped to enjoy some of the candy they got from the variety of games they played. We also took a water break since it was a record breaking warm afternoon.
After the festival we stopped at MIMI and PawPaw's to show them the kids costumes. MIMI ordered pizza for dinner and we put a dent in their candy bowl before any of the trick-or-treaters got there. Then we went to see Morgan, Maddie and Aunt Cindy.
Lily givin' Morgan some love.
Our friends and neighbors, the Farrs, let us join them on their hayride through the neighborhood. It was a very fun way to go trick-or-treating. Mr. Farr had a Halloween mix playing and flashing lights on the back of the trailor.
The trailor full of trick-or-treaters.The dads did a wonderful job of helping load and unload the kids at each stop. We would ride down the street, hop out and do some trick-or-treating and then climb back in the trailor to head down another street.
The kids had a blast as you can see by their faces...One of the neighbors had an actual haunted house. The little kids went through it after Maddie warned the people inside that they were coming and to not make it too scary for them...whatever!
The kids doing some trick-or-treating with Mrs. Farr standing by to make sure everyone was taking the appropriate amount of candy and using their manners :-) We made it to Aunt Mary's house to end our evening. Lily wanted nothing to do with taking a picture. Mike and I decided that one of the best parts of Halloween is putting the kids to bed and checking out all the goods. Four kids can bring home A LOT of candy!
