Hallo-week

Last week was great. We packed all kinds of Halloween festivities into the week, including the acquisition of dumptruck loads of candy. I think we'll be working on this candy for years! Some of the fun activities included... (warning, there are a ton of pictures in this post)a fun Halloween dinner with Vampire blood, apple bites and of course
Mummy dogs!
a playgroup costume party complete with trick-or-treating
cookie decorating and delivering
Madi even got in on the frosting fun!
spooky story time
here are the kids in all their finery: a cheerleader, a clone trooper and Jessie the yodeling cowgirl (if this costume looks familiar, you're right! I made a red yarn wig to change it up a little, but she wouldn't wear it. boo hoo.)
They had a great time trick-or-treating in our neighborhood, then we headed over to the church for some trunk-or-treating action. Madi loved putting the candy in her little bag and wouldn't move on until it was safely secured. So funny!
Just in case you needed more, here's another cute picture of my little monsters! Hey, did I mention that Kody won a costume contest at a little festival we went to? I'm glad, because Grandma B and I worked real hard on getting his costume just right. What was the prize you ask? More candy! I hope you all had a great Halloween, because we did!

They are all so cute, but I think I love Mollie the best! I'll have to show H Kody's costume. It looks great. I'm sure he had fun being a clone trooper.

So cute! I can't believe how grown-up Madie is looking. She's not a little baby anymore.

I have to give the credit where it's due, the fantastic spooky dinner was all Grandma B's doing! And she really did most of Kody's costume as well. We are so lucky to have her!
