Adam's Party

Adam's party at preschool was this morning. He was a little tired from all the activity last night, but still excited to go to school. He will miss Miss Alissa.

Adam stayed after school for a few hours while Mason and I ran errands and Jack was with Grammy. It's a good thing that today was his last day of school or he would expect to do that every time.

Trick-or-treat

For trick-or-treating, we went to Uncle Bryan and Aunt Leslie's house for the third year in a row. Uncle Aaron and Miss-going-to-be-my-aunt Lindsay, and Grammy were there, too.

The boys were all dressed as monkeys, though I think Mason's costume was the cutest. It's the tail that did it.

Mason rode in the wagon with Annabelle, who was Uniqua from Backyardigans.

Uncle Bryan pulled them along.

Not quite sure what that face was about.

I think there's dirt on my apple...

Love this monkey face

Uncle Aaron was holding out a cupcake for Mason to get him to look at the camera.

What a fun night!

Class Party

Jackie's class party was this afternoon.

It was also his last day of preschool at ZIPPCO.

Pirate Bunny

Jackie came up with this Pirate Bunny costume, using the bunny head from his costume from his second Halloween and a Pirate patch he got last Christmas.

Yes, AGAIN!

I can't believe it, but we actually decided to head out to trick-or-treat yet again tonight. This time, it was in our town. Mason wore Adam's costume from 2 years ago, Adam wore Jackie's from last year, and it was warm enough for Jack to wear his knight costume.

Adam was so excited to be going trick-or-treating again.
Adam loved all the animals that we saw along the way. He wanted to take all the dogs home with him(Jack shrieked every time he saw a dog and claimed that it was going to eat him, even the tiny little dogs). Here Adam is, trying to scoop up a cat.

Adam was very insistent that we go to all the houses, even ones that didn't have lights on- he's telling Daddy in this pic that there's a house right there!

Daddy took his turn tonight being the one that Adam dragged down the street!

Even with all the candy, Jack still wasn't all that thrilled with trick-or-treating.

Mommy pushed a sleeping Mason in the stroller.

Jack was so worn out by the end that he lied down in some one's yard! Adam sat down on two different porches and was ready to hang out with the people passing out candy.

This has been an extremely busy week and we're looking forward to relaxing this weekend.

Preschool Halloween Party

Today was the Halloween Party at Jack's preschool. The kids dressed up and the parents were able to come into the classroom for the first part of the day to take some pictures.

Jack sitting by the little girl that he talks about all the time. They had to be separated later, though, because they were playing too rough with each other. Sounds like the perfect friend for Jack- no wonder he adores her!


Eah of the kids took a turn getting up in the middle of the room for everyone to see their costume and the teacher asked them some questions about it. Below is Jack's reaction when his teacher asked him if he rode a horse to school today. Was he ever mad that he didn't in fact ride one!

The best full class shot I could get- it's hard with 18 3-year olds!

Trick-or-Treat

Tonight was Trick-or-Treat night at Uncle Bryan and Aunt Leslie's house. We took the boys over there so that they could go out with Cousin Belly and Grammy, too.

Grammy had on a silly hat...it made Mason laugh, though.

Belly is so cuddly sweet.

Mason didn't stay awake very long- he napped most of the way.

Jack didn't have much desire to trick-or-treat. He wanted to be done after just a few house. We were surprised, given his love of candy.

Adam, on the other hand, could not get enough. He pulled me from house to house. If there was a house not giving out candy, he slowed down and stared at it, to be sure that they really didn't have anything for him there. I accidentally walked past a house that was giving out candy and Adam quickly corrected me.

Mason was happy to be out of his costume at the end of the night.

Jackie liked holding Belly in his lap. I didn't get a picture of it, but Adam kept patting her on her head. They love their cousin.

Mall Trick-or-treat

We went to the mall tonight for their trick-or-treat night. Daddy had to work late, so the Littles were stuck in the stroller; it was crowded and I didn't want to have to worry about keeping track of two kids who could run off- or even just one, since Jack was good about staying with his friends. But, Adam would have been off and running to try to find as much candy as he could, as quickly as he could. He ended up getting really filthy- I didn't notice that he was eating alot of the candy as he was collecting it. Jack decided to wear his fireman costume because of our visit to the firestation earlier today. It was a really long day, but a fun one!
