Halloween 2009
The first part of our Halloween was devoted to Charley's birthday. After Henry's nap we dove into some Halloween fun. Well, my boys actually won't touch the inside of a pumpkin. Next year we will question whether we even attempt to carve. Uncle Mike and Grandma helped too.
Ed and I did some carving.
For dinner we had homemade mac and cheese. During dinner we discussed trick or treating and Charley informed me he would share one box of DOTS with me (since he knows I like those- I do like them but really I just hate the idea of him eating those chewy sticky ones). Once it was time to get our costumes on and go chaos began. Henry didn't want to put on his costume. Morgan wasn't too thrilled either. We attempted to get a picture but the stress level was high. But heck, this is what holidays are all about.
This is as good as it gets.
Then we took off for our first stop at the neighbors across the street. I was feeling overwhelmed just getting us all out the door. So when our neighbor offered up the bowl of candy to Charley and she said, "You can take as much as you want." Charley replied, "I will just take these two boxes of Dots. One for me and one for my mom." Tears appeared ...I am a blessed mama.
Trick or treating with daddy.
Watching Ed and his brother Mike trick or treat with the boys was fun! Brothers being dads together.
Henry walked almost the whole way! At one house the lady gave him two pieces and he reached in and took three more.
Morgan was a trooper and was a happy rider all evening!
And after the kids were peacefully sleeping the adults poured out the trick or treat sacks (yes, amazingly Charley didn't dump it out ...odd, I know). It is still a thrill to sort the candy and see what was most popular.

This was the second year in a row that we have spent time with Uncle Mike, Aunt Becca, and Grandma Charlie....could we have a tradition on our hands. Ahhh...traditions, the things that make our children realize they are part of family.
Trying it again for mom!
So yesterday when it was time to go put on costumes and go trick or treating it was pure chaos leaving the house. Kids were crying...mama was on the verge...so needless to day, today we put the costumes back on and tried again.
And here is a comparison to 2008!

Baby Girl in OUR frat house for the weekend!
This weekend Uncle Mike, Aunt Becca, and cousin Morgan came to visit. What does this mean....
Crazy tights!
High pitch squeals!
Pink shoes!
A little bit of girl in this frat house!
We hadn't seen Morgan since Fourth of July - too long! Her cheeks are delicious and her serious little look makes you wonder what she is thinking as she takes everything in. She joined us for a chilly night of trick or treating. She wore a ladybug costume...but it was a secret because she was covered in blankets...and slept the whole way...at one point we checked on her and snapped a picture and she was awake...wonder what she thought was going on. We wish they lived closer so that we could see her more often. I sure enjoyed getting my hands on a baby - especially a petite little pink one!High pitch squeals!

He got his cake!
Charley finally got to have his "birthday cake." Grandma Charlie and Uncle Mike, Aunt Becca, and Morgan came for the weekend. I ordered him a modified Star Wars cake...they love me at Target...when I show up altering their normal cake ideas. He was happy and is already dreaming of birthday number six. Please, let this year take it's old sweet time.
