Happy Halloween

Mallory was a Lady Bug Fairy this Halloween...I must say she was quite a hit.
Mom and Mal at playgroup on Tuesday.














We had 3 kids out sick on Tuesday so the group wasn't quite as big.
L to R: Mallory - Lady Bug, Ethan - Joe from Blue's Clues, Preston - Dinosaur, Oliver - Sheriff

Mad fairies cast mad spells. This was our attempt to get them to stand in front of the fireplace. It's hard to keep four 1 year olds in one spot...so we sat them on the couch.















After literaly 3 minutes on the couch the kids were ready to get down.















Tuesday night we carved Mal's pumpkin...I am de-gutting.















Mal thought she would try out the pumpkin...didn't think it was too tasty. She ate a couple of raw pumpkin seeds w/out us knowing till they were 1/2 chewed up.















She loves the sit n' spin we stole from Janie. She is getting pretty good at it.















Dad is showing off the finishing touches...I de-gutted and he carved. Funny story, Josh set the carving knives on top of Nana's van...we're talking a butcher knife and a paring knife. Nana had to take Aunt B shopping and they drove off w/ the knives on top of the car. They found one after they got home (which I think freaked Becca out...she thought some one was out to get her)...but the butcher knife wasn't there. Nana said she heard something fall off the van on 291. I'm sure we gave someone a fright on Halloween Eve...a butcher knife falling off a van.















On Wednesday we went to Elizabeth and Brett's for a Halloween Party. It was lots of fun...lots kids running around.
Eli was a ghost for Halloween. Isn't he cute.




















The back of Mal's costume...so cute.




















All the kids.















We went trick or treating on the Liberty square. There were some cute and funny costumes.

Dad taking Mal around. Brooke and Janie were ahead of us. I didn't get a picture of them together...Janie was a Snow Princess




















Getting some candy from a little devil















A walking pumpkin...Mallory was in awe















Eore and Pooh (adult size).















Going down the street for MORE candy. She was so funny she chatted the whole time between houses. She would go up to the door and bang on it then try to open it. She wanted candy bad.

We had a really great Halloween. Mallory had so much fun getting candy...even though she can't eat 1/2 of it. She wouldn't even let me hold her bucket when it started getting too heavy for her. It's amazing how independent she has gotten in the last year. Happy Halloween everyone!!!
