Happy Halloween 2015!

Happy Halloween everyone! I took the kids to Broadway to a neighborhood that had tons of people walking around. That seemed to be the norm around here and the kids got a ton of candy. 

Jace is Batman. Jacob is a Pixels nerd. Jay is a cop and Jenna a zombie cheerleader (not sure how she talked me into that one ~ I usually don't get on the whole zombie thing.) And Jasmine is just a great big sister and helped me out, as usual. Oh and yes, Jace has Jenna's pompoms.

Daddy stayed home ~ his ankle is still pretty sore from his last round with gout and we need him able to chase after Batman while the rest of us are at work and school.

Happy Halloween!!

Love, Tinkerbell (Jaylynn), Rapunzel (Jenna), Dan from Bakugan (Jacob), Minnie Mouse (Jasmine) and the Football Player (James)

Happy Halloween 2010!

Well, I was sick as a dog today. Of course, I only get sick every few years, like the kind of sick that I can't move. Today was the day. I'm feeling much better tonight although not 100% yet. Jamie is still hunting ~ he did offer to come home but I knew I'd be feeling better before he'd make it back from the mountain.

Thanks to friends and family the kiddos had fun. Jasmine and James went with a group of friends around the neighborhood. Jacob went with Tay and Jason. Jenna went with Aunt B, Carl, Jenny, Chad, Brandon and Shannan. Jaylynn gave out candy with me. Jordan ditched us to go to a couple of parties (which is the way I guess it will be now that he is a teenager).

The kids got a rack of candy as they always do.

James was a Panther football player. Jasmine was a sailor. Jacob was a BMXer. Jenna was Princess Ariel. Jaylynn was a moneky.

Here's a few attempts at trying to get a good picture of all of them.



Happy Halloween from our family to yours!

Halloween 2009

Halloween is so much fun for the kids. They love dressing up and who doesn't love free candy?!

I wasn't sure if I should get Jaylynn a costume. She hates hats and well pretty much anything that makes her hot makes her mad. I found these little body suits at Wal-Mart that were warm without being hot. Halloween here is actually pretty nice although this year it did rain a little. It's usually cool so I knew she would get hot easily if I got something bigger. Miss Jaylynn as a pink leopard. HOW CUTE!





Look at those eyes!! LOVE!



Jenna is Alice from Alice in Wonderland



Jasmine is the U.S. Diva now with face paint that Daddy did



The whole gang ~ Jordan is a disgruntled teen. Ha ha ha! He said he didn't want to go around and decided to stay home and help hand out candy.

Butler's Orchard 2009

Jacob had his field trip to the pumpkin patch at Butler's Orchard. Jamie said it was a lot of fun and thought it would be a lot of fun to take the other kids. Unfortunately he had to work on Saturday so I took them. I figured since Jordan was here, it wouldn't be too bad if Jenna or Jacob needed help and I was holding Jaylynn. Despite it being chilly and the boys leaving their sweat shirts at home, we had a lot of fun. We'll definitely be going back every year. I really thought it would be packed seeing how we waited until Halloween day. We got there around 10 and were there for 3 or 4 hours. It really wasn't that bad at all. I can see how it could be very chaotic. Maybe the chilly, damp weather kept everyone away.

A ride in the Great Pumpkin



The bounce house



Awww sibling love



The slide (There were multiple slides. One that was small on up to the big one. What did these kids pick? The big one of course.)



Then the girls did the slide together and got spun around when they came out. They were laughing so hard.



MAMA, DID YOU SEE THAT????







The duck races ~ This part was so cool. The kids had to work a real water pump to get the duck to the other end. Jenna got so darn excited when she finally got her duck to the other end.



The John Deere harvester slide ~ I didn't get a picture of the actual harvester but it had a slide in it.



They had different animals to check out. Bunnies (Jenna wanted to get in the cage with them), chickens, goats, sheep, pigs.



Jenna acting like a chicken





Then we had to see how tall everyone was...









Some of the cool pumpkin set-ups they had.
