Halloween

October 31, 2016:  Another year, more Halloween, Trick-or-Treating fun!  This year, Sadie designed her own costume (after lots of pinterest searching and planning!).  She did it with minimal help from me... she was a Starbucks Latte.  Kinnick was and Carver were Cubs players (as were 90% of the little boys in the Chicago land area!) and Macey was a witch.  I had fun helping with Kinnick's class party and we joined our friends, the Spikers for dinner and trick-or-treating. 

Halloween Parade & Pumpkins

October 29, 2016:  Oh my goodness.. the most beautiful Fall day!  We enjoyed meeting up with some friends for the Minooka Halloween parade (after a morning of football!)  After catching some candy, we enjoyed heading home to carve pumpkins.  Fall is the best, I love fall traditions!  

Halloween

October 31:  Halloween was on a Saturday this year and my parents came to hang out with us.  We carved pumpkins when they got here.  The kids all did their own this year.  Grandma Sue helped Carver and I helped Macey with the design she picked.  Kinnick and Sadie did theirs by themselves...

 The day was rainy and pretty cold but that didn't stop us from doing some trick-or-treating!  Marc and my dad stayed home to pass out candy.  My mom and I took the kids.  My mom drove the van and let us in and out.  We didn't go for too long but we got plenty of candy!

Harry Potter, Bat Girl, Hermione, and Scooby Doo

 

This is real life sweet friends...

 

I absolutely adored these two in their costumes this year!

Back home for pajamas, candy, pizza, and family game night!

 

Getting Ready for Halloween

October 29/30:  The kids had fun dressing up for the Halloween parties at school.  I got to help with Kinnick's party.  I had fun taking some "minute-to-win-it" games to do with the kids!

The had the Friday (30th) before Halloween off from school so we made some cupcakes.  We took some Halloween goodie baskets with orange soda & cupcake making kits to the neighbors last week.  My kids didn't know that I bought them cupcake mix and sprinkles too so they were excited to do these...
