Halloween Night!!!

The moment the kids had been waiting for finally came!!! Halloween night they had so much fun trick or treating and dressing up in their costumes!

Chad took them outside for our annual photo shoot in the front yard. He did a great job taking pictures of them.

This one really made me laugh. Their poses are classic. Justin looks like he's in baseball mode and saying, "He's safe . . . " Tyler is in his catching stance. And, Julia looks like she is either in pain, or trying to strike a pose with her hand on her hip.

Julia went through many costume ideas this year. At first she wanted to be a cheerleader again like she was last year. Then, she wanted to be Little Bo Peep and wear her dance recital costume. Then, she changed to princess mode and wanted to wear her purple princess dress. She wore it to Janet's Halloween Party. She called it her "Jasmine dress" because it was purple like Jasmine's. Then, Halloween night she switched to her Sleeping Beauty dress. Good choice Julia.

I must say that she looked beautiful!!!

It was tricky finding something Tyler wanted to dress up as this year. He's kind of out of his super hero phase and didn't see anything he liked. So, he requested to be a baseball player on the team of his choice. He made up team names for him and Justin and helped me design the logos for their iron on jerseys. He loved it! His team is the "Tyler Noodles" because LOVES eating noodles and Justin is the "Justin Wildmen" because he is a wild and crazy boy.

Here are the boys in action . . . .

. . . and showing off their numbers.


Justin was hard to catch for a picture. He thought it was hilarious putting his trick or treat bag on his head and this is a classic Justin picture. He is always doing something silly to make us laugh.

He also loved hanging out with his little friend Capri and is always happy to pose with her.

We started the night at the church. They got candy at the "Trunk or Treat" we have every year. Julia was so funny. I couldn't find her most of the night and everytime I looked she was going from car to car. She just kept circling the parking lot and came back so proud that she had filled her entire bag! So, we dumped all out into another bag in the car and headed to our next spot.

We went to TJ and Carrie's house for some more trick or treating. Their neighborhood has lots of kids out and the houses are decorated so cute. The kids loved it and were in candy heaven. As you can see here - they sometimes had a hard time chosing the perfect treat.

By the end of the night they were exhausted from all the fun. Tyler couldn't wait to get to bed, Julia was a little wired from the sugar, and Justin kept saying how much he loved Halloween even though "it was scary." He even woke up Saturday morning and the first thing he said was, "I want to have Halloween again today."

Hope everyone else had a fun Halloween with their kids and families. Can't wait to see pictures of everyone.
