Happy Halloween

Rain and SNOW couldn't keep us from going trick or treating! The girls and I headed to Karyn, Jon and Sammy's house at 12:30. We hit a couple of their neighbors Halloween parties. By late afternoon Daddy met up with us and we headed out to trick or treat. Sammy and Sydney ran from house to house with such excitement! Sydy couldn't keep up with Sammy as he was running so fast. After each house, Syd would come running back to me saying "I got candy" or "I got a surprise for you Mama." It was adorable. I walked her to a few house, Daddy walked her to a few house and we let her walk up with her friends by herself a couple of times. Mid-way through Sammy boy hopped in the wagon for a break. He ran hard so he was very tired. Sydy slowed down too!

Poor Mommy and Sawyer. She was exhausted and gave me a very difficult time for most of the day. She didn't have a nap and the little 20 minute snooze she took in the car wrecked her and I was pretty frazzled. Jim was at camp hunting but he made it back in time for trick or treating. We put grumpy girl in her stroller and she was happy to just watch from her toasty warm spot. She didn't make a peep the whole time we were walking around.

We got back to Karyn and Jon's before dark and the kids had a good time passing out candy to trick or treaters. That was probably Sammy's favorite part!!! Soybean's too. After a group of kids left, I told Sawyer to tell them "bye bye friends, see you later." She repeated the words as clear as day. Karyn witnessed her saying it too! Count those words everyone! That is 6 words! This kiddo is amazing. She speaks far beyond her 20 months.

Amy and Mike popped over that evening to with some other friends. Julia, Jon and Sarah were all trick or treating in the neighborhood too. It was such a fun evening. I think the parents were as tired as the kids!


My grumpy flower fairy...

Sydney was so excited to see the firetruck in the neighborhood.

The only time this little lady was happy was when she was snacking. Like I said, poor Mommy and Sawyer. Maybe next year she will have a better time.

Sydy was so excited to watch all of the kids running around.

The fire squad was handing out cider donuts. Needless to say, that was the highlight for my little girl.
We live in the cow country and don't have a "neighborhood." Jon joked that we would have had to walk many many miles just to get a few pieces of candy near our house! Many thanks to Karyn and Jon for having us over to their neighborhood for a fun day!

Great seeing Amy, Mike and the kids!
