Haloween happenings

Happily, Halloween was on a Saturday this year and we packed it full! We started the day out with a fall photo shoot for our Christmas card with our really good friend and super talented photographer, Wendy Kivett. She does an amazing job and her prices are so reasonable. You can actually afford to buy pictures from her! :) Visit her site and see for yourself!
It was pouring when we started and I wondered if we'd get anything worth ordering but she is just that good! I'm so happy with them!

Then my very good friend Erin, watched my kids for me so that Russ and I could go out on a lunch date. We really needed the time to just talk over lots of big decisions we are considering making this year. I'm sure I'll share more as these ideas evolve into reality!

After a perfectly lovely afternoon with my Hubs, we went back to Erin's and got all the kids into their costumes to head to our church Harvest party!

A mouse, soccer player, Alice in Wonderland, and a black kitty.

I was pretty happy with how Hailey's costume turned out since I made it really quickly at 10:30pm the night before. :) I've been busy okay?!


The Harvest party was super fun and the kids left with bags of candy! I just love our church and all those people who served to make it a safe and fun night for us!



These are pretty random pictures but they were excited and would NOT pose for me, so there you go! :) We went home and trick or treated our neighborhood and it was really fun! I didn't go trick or treating much as a child so I am really loving watching my kids sprint from house to house all smiles and giggles. I made them say thank you to each person who gave them candy too! The kids loved handing out candy to trick or treaters at our house too! All in all it was a super fun, exhausting and fulfilling day!
