"Appy Ha-oh-weeeen!"

That's how Anna says it, so "appy ha-oh-weeeeen" everyone! We had a great day! Our church had their annual pumpkin fest and since Halloween was on a Saturday, trunk-or-treats followed. So after nap time, we got the kids all dressed up for the fun day. Anna got up from naps first, so we had some girly time getting her prepared to be a beautiful ballerina.......




Then sweet Collin got his zebra on!


Benjamin took a super long nap and finally woke up to become the 'ceratops (triceratops) he's been waiting so long to become! They were sweet and sat for a group picture for me!


I tried to get their pictures with the trees outside church, but they were too excited to pose for the pictures. The one good shot I got, their head gear was in the way.......


Benjamin was so excited to wear his costume. He would ask me every day how much longer until Halloween and why it was taking so long!


Doesn't he make a fierce dinosaur?!?!


I think he's mostly just a cute one!


Squatting cuties!

Can she pick it up?

Yes, she can!


Have you ever seen a dinosaur hug a pumpkin before? Here's Benjamin and his friend Maddux....

We had fun on our hay ride!
Anna was tickled when we started moving!
Collin enjoyed his first hay ride too, at least in his dreams he did!


He's just so cute!


People from our church park their cars and hand out candy from their trunks. It works perfect for trick-or-treating for our kids.



Trick-or-Treat!


Benjamin shaking his tail for us!


After we trick-or-treated, we came home, had some dinner, and the kids had a lot of fun handing out candy to the other kids. They were so cute sitting at the table, watching a Halloween show, eating in their costumes. They would pause and run to the door every time kids came!

They were really good about taking turns handing out the candy.

Collin slept through most of the activity though!


I don't even know how many suckers our little ballerina had today!


Benjamin was so excited about all of his candy too!

What happens at the end of the day when you have a sugar high? You wrestle with Daddy of course!

Daddy's girl saying night-night!

Collin all bundled up and ready to sleep too! He's our little Burrito 2.0!
I got creative and focused on getting Collin's announcement picture this week. It's super adorable, but I don't want to ruin the surprise, so here's some other cute pictures I took this week.........



They don't seem to realize that Collin is supposed to be seen in the picture too!

Naked boy!
Cutie pie!
