Halloween

We had a fun filled Halloween weekend! We went to a party, attended Trunk or Treat at church and went trick or treating on Halloween!

First up was a Halloween party at our friend Nate's house. Reed was Woody and Paigey was Jessie from Toy Story.

Howdy Partner!


Yee-haw!


Fun friends!

Paige and Samuel kept racing each other back and forth in the yard.

They love each other!

Look out folks! She's got a pumpkin and she's not afraid to use it!

Samuel and Paige were wrestling with this pumpkin!

Throwing balls in a fish bowl. Well, maybe "throwing" is a stretch!

So sweet!

Golf lessons

Sweet girl got a sunburn because it was SO HOT!


Reed got burned too. LOVE this pic!

We went trick or treating with our friends Jayden (fireman) and Brady (dalmatian) on Halloween. Reed was Woody and Paige was Jessie from their current favorite movie, Toy Story!

Follow the leader!

WHEW! What a busy Halloween! Blessed by my family and friends!

Cookie Tradition

Even though we already decorated Halloween cookies with our friends, I HAD to continue our tradition of making sugar cookies and letting the kids decorate. This was the first year Paigey got to do it with me and Reed. Of course, she was more into the eating than the decorating....

I let them lick the batter but Reed didn't want to for some reason. Paige is never one to turn down sweet treats!


Pure delight!

Reed LOVES "sprinklers" so this is all he wanted to do! He helped me cut out the shapes, I did the frosting and then he topped them off!

I kept telling him to smile for the camera but he wouldn't look at me and smile at the same time!

He's laughing because he knows he's messing with me!

This is what I finally got!

Paige misunderstood the project and immediately grabbed a cookie to eat.

When I told her to decorate, not eat, she grabbed ANOTHER cookie.

Finally the decorating began.

I love continuing these little traditions with my kids so we can look back every year on them doing the same things as they grow. Next up on the list is pumpkin carving but I didn't even get my pumpkins yet! Hmmm, we'll see if that actually happens......
