Trick or treat!

I've never really liked Halloween, but to live it through your kids is totally worth it, especially when they "get it"! ME did have dance tonight, but she got to wear her costume. The funny thing, though, is that she didn't want to be a China doll anymore. So I went through a list of things that she could be that we already had and she opted to be a Razorback cheerleader. I think she made a great choice! :)

My mom keeps Benjamin while I take ME to dance most nights, so we had to go back and pick him up before we went Trick-or-Treating in our neighborhood. ME wanted to go ring LaLa's doorbell.

Benjamin totally got the concept! ME rang doorbell, Benjamin answered door, Benjamin put candy in bucket, Benjamin closed door on Sissy and yelled "bye!" while we were still standing there. Too funny!

 

The kids went to a few houses around my parent's neighborhood before we met with our group in our "hood".

Benjamin picked up this take the candy from the bucket thing real fast!

 

I love this look of anticipation!

 

This house is right across from my parent's house. While climbing the stairs, Benjamin kept saying, "Uh, biiiig steps!"

"We're ready for round 2!"

The group meeting up getting ready to plan their attack.

I L-O-V-E this!!!

ME's old classmate, Kemp, showed up with Mason. ME was excited to see him!

Poor baby Chandler was our dinner tonight. :)

Off to the church Fall Carnival

We sure have gotten our use out of costumes this year! I had to tak just a few more pics of the cuties before we headed to our church carnival.

Benjamin was a little overwhelmed with everything in the gym when we first got there...for about 5 seconds. He quickly made himself right at home!

So did ME!

He's got an awesome swing! It's a little dangerous, but it's pretty awesome!

It's almost in!

It's almost there!

Ugh! I give up! Let's go this way.

But he still got a sucker. :)

After the carnival, we went to Jim's Razorback Pizza with our Sunday School class. Lots of kids, yummy pizza, good times!

And another Fall Carnival (Part 2)

I had to share just a few more pics of the neighborhood carnival from my mom's camera.

Aunt Kari made these shirts for her and Bebo. Kari's shirt has a skeleton of a baby on her belly.

Benjamin, the fearless conductor/climber!

ME LOVES to hold Beth Ann!!!

Who cares if Benjamin is spitting at the camera? At least they're all looking right? Ha!

Check out this serious convo!



But McKenzie has an objection to whatever he's saying.

Davis had to show off his firefighting skills. 

And another Fall Carnival

We went to my parent's neighborhood Fall Carnival tonight. I love the street that they have it on! Do you remember the scene at the end of Big when they show Tom Hanks walking down the street back to his mom's house with the leaves all over the street in a cozy neighborhood? Well, I get that comfy warm feeling everytime I drive on this cute little street in my parent's neighborhood.

Anyway, ME's "boyfriend", Davis, and her BFF, Lila, from school last year both live in the neighborhood. So they all 3 had a great time playing with each other.

Isn't Davis such a stud?

Sweet Beth Ann

Tinkerbell...er, uh...McKenzie joined us, too!

I love Benjamin and McKenzie's looks!
