Halloween 09

Halloween is one of my favorite times of the year. I don't know if it's because it's finally cool enough to be outside or if it's because it's the start of the holiday season or what exactly, but I love it. Actually what I think it is is that my kids love it. They love every detail of it. They love the decorations (not that I do much), but as soon as anyone starts to get any holiday stuff in front of their doors, my kids are on me about doing ours. They love picking out costumes. They love making treats for neighbors. They love picking out their pumpkins and decorating them. They mostly love the get-together and trick-or-treating on Halloween night with all of their cousins. In fact, we were going to go to a Halloween party going on at the park by our house for an hour or so before the family party this year, and our kids were actually begging us to skip that party so they could get to the cousins sooner.










Riggs had been to this pumkin patch before with his pre-school and was so excited to show us all around. He especially loved the maze and since it was so dark when we were there, he told us he peed in the maze since no one could see him. (lovely)



Riggs pre-school put on a little performance of Halloween songs for the parents. I love his teachers and he has such good friends in his class.

This is definitely one of my favorite pictures of my 3 boys. What I love about it is that you can see EXCITEMENT written all of their faces. Let the candy start rolling in!

I love that picture of all 3 boys dressed up! They are sooo cute! I can't believe how old Crew looks! Can't wait to see you guys in a couple weeks:)

Your boys crack me up. It still amazes me when I look at your family and Kristen's family and see how you guys had kids the same gender so close together. Minus AJ, you're identical. :)

I stayed the night at your parents one night this week, and Mike & I were saying we need to come over and see the handful of you guys that live close to each other.

Crew is HUGE! Honestly, what are you feeding that kid? Brit was so disappointed that he didn't get to come to your house. The other day I was loading up the kids to go somewhere and Brit asked, "Is Jill going to be there?" Apparently the two of you are very close:) And yes, we are coming in December--I can't wait:)

I love how excited your boys get!-they thought the Harry Potter was amazing and their excitement is contagious. Crew is such a little boy now I can hardly believe it.
