Our Family Blog: Halloween!

What a beautiful Halloween! Micah only had a half day of school so Gabby and he rode the bus home and hung out for awhile. We started to get everyone ready pretty early because downtown the businesses were giving away candy, and there was no way we were missing it. :) Gabby was such a help when I was trying to get the kids ready, she loves to take care of the girls. Micah and Christian were pirates, and this was the first year I was able to draw a goatee on Christian without him having a meltdown after it was on his face. For whatever reason it would absolutely wreck his day to see hair on his face, but this year he survived.

Ruthie was a flower, and this costume has now been worn by all the kids. Brielle was a bumblebee, this costume was also worn by both her brothers, and next year Ruthie will have the honor of being the family bee. Gabby was a cheetah, and she let me do her make-up...I was honored, and she looked so cute!

After downtown we went "Trunk or Treating", and then the dads and kids took off for the neighborhoods, we are stocked up on candy for quite a long while!

The weather held out, when we started it 65 degrees! It rained a little, but it never got the cold it was great!
