1 Power Ranger + 2 ballerinas + 1 scary ghoul = 1 fun Halloween

Halloween has come and gone, but boy was it fun! The festivities began bright and early Friday morning as the little ones dressed in their costumes to head to school for their Halloween parties. I think that they were still half asleep when I snapped these pictures before we left the house.

After school and work we headed to Grancie's house to trick-or-treat. This has been an ongoing tradition for us since Cade was 1 year old. That makes this our 9th year to trick-or-treat with Grancie!
The kids ate pizza and Halloween cupcakes, then we hit the streets to trick-or-treat.

Ella Cate was a little nervous as she watched Daddy transform her biggest brother into a scary ghoul! She held on for dear life to this little witch Barbie that Grancie surprised her with.


Emmy LOVES her Uncle Caleb, and it is always so very obvious!

Carson decided to transform into a Blue Ranger to trick-or-treat. He has many costumes because he loves to dress up.

We rolled into our driveway a little after 10:00. Everyone had a little snooze in the car, and when we got home they were rested and ready to have a sampling of their candy. Everyone was finally asleep by 11:00 (VERY late for us).
This morning we headed to the football fields to see Cade's game at 9:00, and then to the soccer fields for Carson's game. Right now it's nap time, but it is just about over! I used nap time to do this post. Right now I am thinking that I should have napped instead!! : )
