Halloween 2012



This year our Little Ninja (Parker) surprised us with his enthusiasm to keep trick-or-treating.  If you recall, last year we made it to approximately 3 houses and he was ready to go home.  He was determined to visit all of our neighbors and keep up with our friends that joined us, and was patient enough to wait for our little monkey at several houses along the way.


The monkey (Crosby) was incredibly funny and adorable tonight... he was polite and talked (a lot) to everyone and made enough time to appreciate the decor at every house too.  He even counted pumpkins and told people if they were silly or scary to him.  He ended the night with a little bit of pizza and several pieces of candy, a cute little prayer while wearing his monkey costume to bed, and telling us "I all done trick-o-treating now".  I think he'll have sweet dreams.






It was fun to have the girls (Izzy & Gabby) join us this year.

Halloween Prep


Halloween Prep
We had a crazy busy weekend and SO MUCH FUN!
Parker started swimming lessons on Saturday morning, followed by a birthday party at the Kroc Center (so more swimming) and a fun night with Grandma Jeanne (thank you grandma) and Crosby so Mama and Daddy could go celebrate Laura's 40th.  The ladies were spoiled at the Day Spa (thank you Keith!!!!) and met the men out for dinner and drinks.  I think we all passed out by 11 PM (including the birthday girl) which reminded us that we aren't in college any longer, lol!

Here are a couple of fun pictures of the boys from the weekend.  More to come Halloween Night!
