HALLOWEEN!

Hello everybody!

And going back a few hours.... Evan poses with Grandmom and his girl Sydney.

There's nothing Evan loves more than a good scare and this child LOVES Halloween. We really milk the holidays over here. Between the Harvest Festival, Morey's Fear and also our little downtown parade that we went to with our neighbors (and hung out with Aunt Missy, Uncle Fred, Brynn & Devon too!) We really had a great time and all ended on the actually day with late night trick-or-treating with family and friends - the way Halloween should be!

It was great. We had a big pot o' meatballs on the stove for the guests. The kids were getting in costume... When a terrible, blood-chilling accident occurred. Just a warning. The photo below is not meant for those who are squeamish.

It's not blood, but worse! It's pomegranate juice! My mom doesn't give the kids candy for Halloween. She gives them pineapples and pomegranates. Noah took his immediately and said, "Ball!" or rather "Bahl!" and threw it over and over on the kitchen floor. Ballballballballball. He took it to the living room and threw it. "BALL!" and it exploded. Thankfully the fruit was still good to eat. So yummy. My favorite... they give me a buzz like coffee.

Anyway, more Halloween.

Noah is in disbelief that his grandmother would give him a defective ball.

Sydney too!

I can't wait to show the kids this shot when they start dating.

Noah, where's your costume??

Finally, the big reveal! No, he's not a wolf man. He's an adorable baby owl!

And the hat comes off. Noah, don't you know how cute you are?!!

Crazy Livvy and Laura.

My husband, looking incredible.

And our new neighbors come over!

This is Noah's little buddy, Johnny. It's unbelievable how well they play together. It's the first time that I've seen Noah actively play with another child other than his brother. He usually plays side by side with other kids.

And we FINALLY get out of the house. Aunt Ella's not in this shot because she's inside handing out candy.

Look at Noah's costume from behind. O those little wings!

It's getting late! Noah hangs out with his Godmother.

He was really good about grabbing candy. But he always gave a piece from the previous house back to the current person handing it out.

Aunt Donna wears the owl hat Noah that hates.

Baby gets cold and Aunt Wanda gives him her sweatshirt.

And the night's over - TRICK OR TREAT!
