Halloween



We had a fun week full of Halloween celebrations! 
Lizzie was such a good helper at the costume store, trting on all these wigs, and hats.  She was super mad when I wouldn't let her buy one!
She has inhereited Isaac's balance bike, now that he rides his two wheeler. She loves wearing the helmet and pushing herself on the sidewalk.  She looks super cute in her tu-tu!



We had a giant Halloween Party at G & G Shields house the night before Halloween .  Everyone dressed up and we played games, had a yummy dinner with witches brew, had a dance party with glow sticks etc.. It was a blast! 
Thanks for Colton & Megan for thinking of the idea.

Here's the guys; Dave is a Rubix Cube and Danny had a mullet hat/wig with tattoo sleeves.  They both looked awesome!!
Some of the kids were scared of Danny because they didn't recognize him.

Here's some of the rest of the adults. 
All the kids looked great!  They were all thrilled to be weating their costumes and to see their cousins/friends in their costumes!

Taylor rocked it at this eating donut off a stick game, everyone loved this game.

Here's a picture of the glow sticks while dancing in the dark to '"Ghostbusters" and "The Monster Mash"
The kids jumped, danced and sang the while dance.  It was wild!!!

Lizzie had been obsessed with this tu-tu, she wears it over her clothes almost everyday. It's adorable!

On Halloween at preschool Isaac had a program.  The class sang some songs, did poem and a parade.  It was really cute, and he thought it was wonderful!
Here he is with Mariah (Aerial) his friend.
Isaac loves school, he asks every night before bed
"Do I have school tomorrow?"
His teacher and class are perfect for him!

Then in the evening everyone got back into their costumes, but this time Emily decided to be a vampire Butterfly.  She did her own makeup, and was happy to look a little scary.

We had a fun neighborhood dinner with soups/salads/bread at our next door neighbor's house.  It was a lot of fun and everyone had a grand time! The weather was nice and warm, perfect for an outdoor dinner with friends!

After dinner it was off to Trick -O - Treat. 
Lizzie loved getting candy, but wanted to stop and eat each piece. 
So she stayed with Grandma while we hit the streets for a while with the older kids. Isaac and Emily were running from house to house.  Taylor was too, but not as much.  He's doing no candy no soda all year to earn $ money.  He is saving for an IPOD touch, and arranged to earn $100 for the year. 

We stayed out late eating scones, hot cocoa and candy in our neighbors garage.
 It was fun, exhausting day! Happy Halloween!



This is Lizzie getting herself ready for church.  She took off her regular shoes and was clomping around in these plastic Aerial shoes.  She was determined to wear these to church, and looks pretty thrilled about the idea of it in the picture! 
She cracks me up!
