Happy Halloween

Our Halloween weekend has come and gone again.  We had a pretty good weekend though!  It's been fun trying to decide what to dress the kids up as.  It'll be interesting to see what they start to choose when they get older.  But for now we get excited coming with ideas.  Last year Everett was Alfalfa and he was the cutest kid.  For a while that's the only way people at our church knew us.  This year we wanted to do something else fun so we came up with:

 Clark Kent! 

We thought we were pretty original, until we started googling it and then saw that other friends had the same idea.  Oh well, he looked pretty cute to us!  It was funny to see people's reaction.  Most got who he was, but then we got a few comments that were "he's a good little businessman", and "he's a cute nerd". Why thank you!  For our little Jacquelyn, Todd came up with the idea.  My dad calls her Little Red so we thought it'd be fun to go with Little Red Riding Hood.

She was so cute!  I was surprised how good she did. It was late and cold, but she was just a bubbly as usual.

Everett is starting to get the gist of tricking or treating.  We took him to a trunk or treat Saturday night and he was a little out of it.  When we got there he had been asleep, so he wasn't too excited when we woke him up. Although once he saw the first person put candy in his bag he pepped up a little!  We kept trying to get him to say "trick or treat", but he'd just stand there with his bag open.  

He of course loved going through all his goodies.  Now he's always asking for a treat.
