Halloween 2011




 We have had a busy Halloween weekend. It started with the Halloween party at the kids school.
Lexie joined in on Caleb's party since hers was late in the day and I was picking them up early. She was excited to be with the big kids.
Everyone looked great in their costumes, and had fun eating all kinds of yummy food.
Caleb's good friend Steed sat by us resulting in lots of silly laughter from them both.
Saturday we met up with the neighbors at the local elementary school carnival.


The kids threw footballs, basketballs, fed Monster rocks, and got lots of unnecessary candy. Caleb even went through their haunted house twice.
They even got to check out a firetruck.







Then he helped me make scary cake ball eyes which ended up very yummy indeed.

Finally it was actually Halloween.
  My lil sis Dani, and my niece Maggie were able to come in for a few days.

They joined us and our neighbors for trick or treating.
Greg scared many and fascinated most with his Chewbacca costume.

Several people stopped us on the way to take pictures with him. Lex wasn't so sure about him, even though it was Daddy's voice. She kept her distance, but had lots of fun going door to door for candy.
After the first house she brought me her candy and wanted me to open it. I explained we would get more first, and she was very cooperative.


 Her basket was very full toward the end of the night, but she still wouldn't let me help her carry it. The boys kept trying to run ahead to the next house, while the girls took their time gathering candy so it became tricky trying to keep everyone together.
Lex usually would pull up the rear, not feeling rushed in any way.

Maggie got her first trick or treat candy as well. She did a great job! Chewy did not phase her.



Lex enjoyed having her baby Maggie visiting us.
Happy Halloween!!
