HAPPY HALLOWEEN

I LOVE LOVE HALLOWEEN!!! 

 I love walking around on Halloween nights and meeting the people in our neighborhood. It is the only night of the year I see most of them. I KNOW, shame on me. Riley was not allowed to go out this year because he felt jobs were dumb and he should not have to do them. As you will see in the pictures, he was right out there with us. We left him at home, but Jers said, "I will be right back." the next thing I knew, I saw Riley. Jers sent him out to go with us. (As parents, we struggle to be consistent with consequences with our children). 

When leaving, Daxon commented, "It isn't the same without Riley." In my opinion, Memories are worth breaking the rules for. Halloween only comes around once a year, chores are forever. 

Alyssa and Riley are, by many people's standards, too old to go Trick or Treating. I am one of those parents who couldn't care less; you only live once, and it is better than many of the other things your children could be doing:)

Ashlynn was a flower. It was a great costume because it kept her cozy and warm. Ashlynn was so much fun this year. I LOVE her age. Everything is so MAGICAL. We went to the first couple of houses, and the concept of trick-or-treating clicked. 

From then on, she was on a mission to fill her bucket. Ashlynn smiled at every house as she said trick or treat, followed by, THANK YOU HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! 

 As we neared the end of the neighborhood, she commented, "This is the best Halloween EVER." 

 Alyssa stuck right by our side until we reached our house, then she joined her brothers for some quick moving where she could really cash in on some loads of candy:)

The other day on "The Dating Divas," they had a hobo costume that I thought was so ADORABLE. We altered it to be Alyssa's style. I think she makes a pretty cute HOBO -especially with that Goodwill bag hanging off the back:)

On Saturday, the ward had a cute little party for the primary that the youth put together. It was fun, and the kids had a great time hanging out with friends and trunk-or-treating. The bird was a pretty cool touch for the werewolf look, don't you think?

THE MIGHTY HUNTERS
I never see these two on Halloween. They are way too FAST. In the 1st block, you see them, and then they are gone for the next two hours. 

Now, onto the festivities of Thanksgiving. I'm LOVIN IT!!!!
