Happy Halloween

Well our first Halloween has come and gone, the costumes have been hung back in the closet and it was quite the whirlwind evening. The festivities began with a few cranky babies who were really not into Halloween yet. Grace has 4 teeth coming in simultaneously so she was NOT in the mood for ANYTHING let alone strapping on some god damn ladybug outfit, Avery who did not have a nap so she was cranky from that, and Everett was doing fine until he fell on his face from trying to walk in his costume, so then that just abruptly ended the fun for him.

The official Simpson pumpkin carving (really its the Kristen Howatt pumpkin carving) was a success as the kids got into helping me out. They rolled the pumpkin around the room, and they even touched the innards (only a little bit though).

So once everyone was fully clothed off we went to scavenge for treats. We went to a couple of houses in our neighborhood, hit Bob & Nancy's where Jason was shamelessly trying to get candy using poor Everett, then we were off to Walter & Linda's and then to Bernie & Pat's my dads neighbors. It seemed as though Grace's problems seemed to disappear when she was dashing through the rain, that was only time she seemed to be enjoying herself.

Everett went as a zebra,

Grace went as an unhappy ladybug,

And Avery was a monster (not literally though, well only at first)
