Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween from the two cutest bugs ever!

 So somber...where are my kids??!

 Oh there they are...this is more like it...Grey being a punk & Zoe eating leaves

We had a nice low key Halloween this year. The kids had so much fun, they went trick or treating THREE times today! Grammie brought them to daddy's work then home for a nap before heading to my work.

Playing with the babies at my work-these 3 were born within a month of each other

We came home, had a quick dinner and then hit the neighborhood. Grey had this whole trick or treat business down to a science. He would run up to the door, knock, look for a door bell  - ring it if it was there, then knock again as he would literally say "Are you coming?" We had to remind him to be patient and polite. As soon as they opened the door, he would yell "TRICK or TREAT!" As soon as the candy was passed over, he would say " Thank you & Happy Halloween" before bolting to the next house.  Zoe loved watching it all and looking at all the cool neighborhood decorations.

We met up with our neighbor, Ripley, for a few houses but he just couldn't keep up with Grey.  Grey kept yelling as he would run to the next house, " COME ON, RIP!" or he would just take Ripley's bag for him up to the door while Ripley made his way up a few moments later..then Grey would hand him his bag full of candy as he blew by him, yelling "come on, Rip!"  It was the funniest thing I had every seen! Luckily, we weren't too far from their house when Grey decided he needed to use his potty. Zippy and I just looked at each other...and luckily, they handed Zippy the keys to their house and let them run back there really quick...that could have been an interesting moment in a borrowed Halloween costume!

When we got back to the house, Grey dumped his bag of candy out and decided that suckers were his favorite so he had one while we passed out candy to trick or treaters...then he decided nerds were his new favorite so I let him have that too...he started to see a trend so he would pick out another kind of candy and say that was his favorite. I let him have quite a few more before telling him the candy fairy would be coming tonight and taking the candy back so we can trick or treat next year. We will see if that works :)

Thanks to the Bevan family for letting us borrow the spider costume-Grey LOVED it!

 And the cutest ladybug costume was crocheted by Grammie. She is taking orders for next year ;) I know she is very skilled but this costume came out so seriously cute.

 And Zippy FINALLY got to be the Wolverine. His hair is never at the right length as we forget about it until the last minute but not this year! Love it :)

And look! I was there, too. I am usually behind the camera-Grey looks thrilled, doesn't he? He is mad that we were holding up his trick or treating!
