Halloween all in one

I am doing all my Halloween posts in one - so I can just be done with it and move on.

First stop is my Grandma's Annual Halloween Party. To me this really was Halloween (even though it was a week early) because I had no intention of dressing Megan up on Halloween and taking her trick-or-treating - so this was her one chance to be a ghost.

Halloween was definitely on a budget this year. I had the Pumpkin costumes and all the material for the Ghost (minus the .23 cents for the black felt). But I think they ended up cute - although Brock was a Pumpkin last year, so I did feel kind of bad about that. But he doesn't remember.

And because I HONESTLY can't get enough of her...

who could??

Then we did a little pumpkin carving. Jason feels STRONGLY about having the kids draw their own jack-o-lanterns - regardless of their age. This is the first year that Brock's actually looked like a face. Noah's is still struggling - and Megan actually has done the best above all of our babies.

Children posing with their jack-o-lanterns:

Halloween night, I did a little "flash" decorating - this is how our porch looked about 5 minutes before the rain hit.

I took the boys trick or treating with the other mom's and kids in the neighborhood. Since it was raining we thought that they would only do a few houses and then be wet, cold, and whinney and would want to go home... AN HOUR AND A HALF LATER, we were still going. They were die hards, they actually filled up their buckets, I didn't think that would happen until they were like 6.

Megan was VERY excited about the candy, she is in the "everything goes in the mouth" stage. Don't worry - if you know me at all, she definitely only sucked on the plastic and not the candy. (haha - I am so chill about my 6 month old sucking on plastic and would die if she ate any candy)

We definitely underestimated on our candy-giving bowl. We had run out of candy by 7:45 pm - it is fun to be living in such a fun neighborhood with so many kids - it was just like those Halloween movies with kids running every where - and that was on a rainy Halloween. Next year we will be more prepared.

And that folks was our Halloween in one (very long) post
