Halloween Weekend Of 2008

The kids had a great halloween. Last year Thatch was still a bit young to understand the whole concept. This year the girls demonstrated how it's done and quickly he learned if you proclaim, "trick or treat", and hold out a bag you are given handfuls of candy. This may very well be his favorite holiday ever! We went the easy route this year and bought all costumes. They each chose their own and since Thatcher didn't care either way I thought I'd support Steven in his efforts to spur his sons boyish side and pick the manliest costume I could find. (Thanks Aunt Liz for Haley's Tutu)

The kids had a great time carving a pumpkin with Dad. This year each one got to design part of the face and Steven cut it out. Ryley designed the mouth, Kadyn the eyes, and Thatcher the nose. Haley was project manager.



We had fun making yummy treats for our family and the neighbors. The girls had tons of fun "booing" different houses around the neighborhood. That could very well be their favorite part of halloween this year.

Our church party was a lot of fun. Last year Steven and I joined the festivites and ended up winning best costumes. This year we were content to go as, "parents with a newborn, who now by the way is sleeping through the night, but the fact that we got all the kids dressed and out of the house before the party ended is a miracle"!




We spent Saturday running around the park and riding bikes. Ryley is featured here with her bike in particular because the next time you see her those training wheels will be a thing of the past. She is SO close to making that leap.


Here's Haley J. She's featured here because we are very biased and think she's a cutie.
