Halloween Fun

We love Halloween.... what other day can you dress in amazing costumes and get lots of candy.

        This year, as all years we were all over the board on costumes. Cooper had ideas of were ninja, then maybe a superhero. Finally a few days before Mom's given deadline he went with Snake Eyes, a character from G.I. Joe. Lauren was determined to be Elsa, but we tried very hard to change that since we knew there would be thousands of Elsa's. Thankfully one look at a rainbow tutu and we were sold on the My Little Pony costume.
She was very happy with her choice, as you can see from Joel's facebook post.

Stayed around to take kids to school today. Lauren had this brilliant, confident smile when she got all dressed up in her costume.
When she walked into her classroom, she just paused at the door and stood while everyone checked her out. One little boy, dressed as Thor, said "Lauren you look BEAUTIFUL!"
I threw a sack over that kid's head and roughed him up behind the preschool. He was surprisingly tough for 4 years old.




   We had a jammed packed weekend.  Friday night we meet up with some friends (Tim's Family), and rode around the neighborhood looking at the cool decorations.  Getting up Saturday to get a few new books at the library, and then a sponsored bike ride that ended in ice cream.  After watching a movie we headed out to Trick or Treat.  We all had a great time.

After school earlier this week we were able to get to in a quick trip to the pumpkin patch. Here are a few shoots from there. Luckily we had a beautiful day, and a very little crowd.

 I am not sure Lauren understands the point of the cut outs :)
