Halloween week was an ongoing party for our crew! Monday was pumpkin carving, Tuesday was our homeschool co-op annual Harvest Party - a party no-one wants to miss out on! - Wednesday was Fall Fest at our church - a night of jumping and sliding and train-riding fun! - Thursday was a little B&B - ballet and baseball with a visit from Gran and Pop to boot! - and Friday was the big day - Halloween! Our sweet neighbors invited other neighbors as well as our family and we all gathered together for a little warm chili before heading out into the cool evening on our trick-or-treating trek!
MK made the perfect cat for Halloween this year! Watching her dance is always makes my heart happy - there is a peace about her as she twirls and her beauty shines.
Miss Maddox, our stunning Sleeping Beauty.
This little one just makes me smile. She may have changed her mind a gazillion times on what her costume would be, but each idea was fantastic and she would have rocked them all!
Whether she is soaring solo through the air or twirling with her friends, she always radiates happiness!
Everyone was glad to have some time with Gran and Pop! So thankful they were able to come over and enjoy watching our talented young kiddos!
Pryce played a fabulous game - catching a ball in midair and then hitting several good balls into the outfield!
Halloween morning finally arrived....MK was most excited to discover our "Boo Bucket" tradition lived on!
With treats for everyone, they all wasted no time digging in to the treats! Fortunately, for them, there were no tricks involved:)
Gran found this cute Monster Mash cake and Colin could not pass on the opportunity to see what it would look like on his own face??? Teenagers = fun times!
Once all treats were opened, the children dove into their monster cake for BREAKFAST! Yes, it was for breakfast and that is just how we chose to roll on this particular day.
Our little pumpkin.
She makes us all giddy.
And brings smiles like no one else can to her siblings, they are amazed by her.
The pumpkin tradition lives on - all five of our children have donned the pumpkin costume on their first Halloween and my biased opinion says that they are all the cutest pumpkins ever!
Sweet Maryn took the evening all in. When Maddox chose to forego a few homes, Maryn was full speed ahead shouting, "trick or treat." She may or may not have let a few adults know that their candy distribution was not enough for her....and, as luck would have it, they would say, "awww, she is so cute!" and then give her ANOTHER piece! One has to love being little!
Our girls.
Four out of five....what a handsome young man that these girls get to call brother!
I share these photos to remember how Maryn always imitates us........take not of MK's tongue. I think she was adding this little detail in as part of her costume and her little sister was watching intently!
I noticed MK's tongue and asked her to put it in her mouth and smile....she did and then wouldn't you know that our little Maryn popped hers right out for the very next photo!
Our biggest guy! He manned the candy stash while we were out and about the neighborhood! Then he joined some friends the following evening for a costume party - and I didn't even get a picture! Ack! He went as Facebook....very clever indeed.

Trick or Treat
Pryce headed out with his big kid friends and had no trouble filling up his pillowcase!
And with a little rain coming in, we called it a night but not before Maryn took one last house in!
