Halloween!

I have a couple of posts that should have happened before Halloween, but I got busy, and lazy and didn't post them. So we will do the current, and anticipated, Halloween post now, and then in the days to come (check back daily for about a week, I should have enough to fill the week) I will post all that has happened in the last two weeks.  We are also headed out to Phoenix for Aaron's cousin's wedding, and a 2-birds-with-1-stone, and fairly selfish visit to see Jess and her family, which we have not seen in at least 3 years (ugh, we are the worst).

So Halloween!

First off I would like to say that Elijah wore his costume (though threatened not to, but decided that getting candy, was again worth dressing up).  Lucas, was all too enthusiastic to wear his, no problem there.  However, the funny thing was when last week Elijah refused to take a picture, this week Lucas refused to take a picture, unless it was with Daddy. So be it.

The kids did a practice round and trick-or-treated for dad, it was so cute!

Elijah dressed up like a ninja turtle and I in-turn dressed up as the ninja turtle's side-kick April O'neil.

Lucas was Captain America, and Aaron was himself. HAHA.

We had a great time trick-or-treating with our close friends and family - all ten kids. It was a little chaotic, but fun at the same time.  By the end of the night Elijah and his new friend Eddy (Kaitlin's nephew) were best buds racing the other kids to get to the "jolly Rodger" a.k.a. the double stroller I brought along for tired feet. It was really cute.

Left to Right: Cousin Jack (spiderman), Cohen (the pancake), Jackson (Neo from Umi Zoomi), Emma (Digust from Inside Out), Colette (butterfly princess), Cousin Lizzie (Rapunzel), Eddy (Peter Pan), Lucas (Capt. Ame.), Elijah (Ninja Turtle), Ryan (racoon).

We came home and had a few pieces of candy, let the two boys run off the energy and sugar and then went to bed, hating the fact we knew there would be a couple of early risers due to the time change in the morning.  Elijah was up at 5:40 and Lucas at 6:40. Oy. Happy Standard Time Savings. ;)
