HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

We have all had the crud and Elle has actually missed two days of school this week. On Tuesday she had a fever so I took all of us to the doctor to get checked out.  And basically they said we have the crud. They did test Elle for mono and I was really surprised to find out she didn't have it. They gave us some meds to treat the symptoms and sent us on their way. We spent that day resting. 

Biding our time at the doctors office with some screen time.

When we got home we rested and watched a Halloween special on Wicked that Elle loved! 

She has watched it several times since then!

I made a popcorn mix for Elle's class party and Walker begged to bring some to his 

friends so we made up some treat bags for him to pass out.

The kids enjoyed painting these Frankenstein crafts that I had picked up somewhere!

The day of Halloween Elle felt better and went to school. I was happy that she wouldn't miss her Halloween party and of course be able to Trick or Treat. Walker was so excited for the entire day in general. He was super pumped for his class party and to hand out his treats and was looking forward to Trick or Treating.

That smile. Ready to hand out his treats.

We picked Grace up that morning and they were both so cute in their gingham I had to take a picture!

I was able to make it Elle's party that afternoon. She enjoyed it and 

is always happy because she gets to leave a little early with me.

That afternoon we rested for Trick or Treating. I made a big pot of white chicken chili and helped the kids get into their costumes. Elles green face paint went much quicker this time and we chose not to do her hands because we didn't want the green paint getting everywhere. Once we were ready we went over to Craig and Ava's for an early stop before trick or treating actually started.

Lacey and Ava had Winnie dressed as a UPS man and it was so cute!

When we got back to the house some friends of Elle's had stopped by. 

Piper and Aubree were Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen and Audrey Caroline was Aubrey Hepburn.

Keeping with our annual tradition Jay and Margaret brought Bailey over to trick or treat with us and eat dinner afterwards. Elle loves Bailey so much and was so happy to have her. Margaret and Jay were excited to take Bailey to some houses to trick or treat!

Bailey was not feeling a group pic.

Walking up to the spooky house in our neighborhood that really goes over the top decorating.

Walker ran into Grace!

More friends while Trick or Treating! Ann Carlton and Cathryn.

After a while I came home to hand out our candy because I enjoy it and Bailey was happier riding on the cart. Kenny took the kids and they hit lots of houses and when they were worn out came home to finish handing out candy. Elle and Walker really liked doing that too.

It was a great Halloween season and I am worn out! Happy to move into November!
