Happy Halloween

Halloween is finally here! This is our first Halloween in Illinois so it's our first Halloween with family close and the possibility of cold cold cold weather. I am pretty sure it snowed at one point during the day today too. The weather was chilly and gross out all day. Charlotte hung out with Aunt Bare in the morning while Sawyer took his nap. She went to visit Miss Janet and all of her cats. It made her morning. Then she came home and took a nap.

We decorated another pumpkin with big stickers when she and Sawyer were both up from their naps.

Charlotte and Sawyer's side of the pumpkin :)

She found a mustache. She was being like Papa.

We finally decided to get ready. Our plan was to go to Daddy's work first since he wouldn't be able to see them dressed up otherwise.

Sawyer...the cop

Charlotte was a donut (her TUTU was the donut)

Do you love that eyeliner mustache???

I can't even take it...

So we drove over to Alex's work. It was cold and gross out. Mom met us there since I was going to be having to get them in and out by myself everywhere that we went.

"Trick or Treat" at Finish Line Ford

She took half of the bowl. Too bad half of the bowl contained peanuts :-(

He took about 17 pieces too. He kept choosing Junior Mints and Whoppers.... I know he won't like those.

Charlotte even trick or treated to all of the individual desks of everyone.

Charlotte insisted on wearing that free Dunkin Donuts T-shirt that Mom gave us. It's an XL adult on a 2T child.

I have no idea what he did but how funny is this pic.

They crack me up.

Cops and donuts are like peanut butter and jelly, mac n cheese, ball and chain..... get it?

Since it was raining and cold and gross, I was not about to take my kids door to door and risk them getting sick and being miserable. So we stopped by and saw my friend Jennifer's parents and trick or treated with them.

The kids got a TON of loot!

Then we headed over to Miss Lisa's house and saw her, Mr. John, and Zoe.

She even made fresh cookies for her trick or treaters. (They live on a farm so they usually don't have any. I told her we were prob going to stop by.)

She was all ready for Charlotte....and had a peanut free house going on...

Gigi and Papa met us at John and Lisa's house.

Charlotte was so excited to show Zoe that she was a donut.

Sawyer walked over to Lisa and reach up for her. He did this with me, Mom, and Dad in the room.

He is getting there...

He loves her :)

Charlotte LOVES her playtime with Miss Lisa. She loves going over there and having one on one time with her.

After their house we headed home. I made supper and we waited for trick or treaters to come visit us. Not a single trick or treater came!! No one on our street had their lights on and we are on the end AND it was raining. But still...I thought we would at least get a couple of trick or treaters :(

Mary came over to see the kids and to hang out with us.We had some fabulous mostacolli and then Mom and Dad headed home.

By the time Alex got home, everyone had had baths (Mary helped! It was so nice to have help).

It was a great Halloween even though the weather was less than desirable :)

I am already planning what they will be next year....
