Trick or Treat!

Happy Halloween!!

look at what this guy found...ugh...can't say I missed this being on the moving truck last year!



We had the neighbors over before trick of treating and then everyone was ready to go!


Fire Fighter Landon and Queen Elsa were READY!!





look at these cuties!!


LOVE!!  ...oh and yes, there is a matching hat!  I might need to "accidentally lose" Keith's ensemble next year ;)


Bella the Cat with Reaggie


The Three Musketeers!


Mum-Mum and Pop-Pop ready with BIG candy bars!




Look at this sweet Jamison Lion

It was a chilly night, but you know Elsa...the cold doesn't bother her anyway!  We went to LOTS more houses than I thought we would, but finally made it back.  The kids couldn't wait to check out their loot.  Poor Reags, we have to be SO careful going through everything and made a pile of peanut candy that was a total no no in this house.  There was still plenty for her to snack on though :)



Marshall from Paw Patrol was Landon's pumpkin pick this year...Keith had to have a few drinks with this one :)


AWFUL picture, but Reagan's was Elsa


and Bailey got his traditional bone :)

It was a great night trick or treating and I'm ready to throw all of this candy away because I'M the one who is eating most of it!!

Pre-Halloween Fun!

After Reagan's conference on Thursday we headed to Mum-Mum and Pop-Pop's house.  Their town was having their Halloween Parade that night and after going last year, we knew we had to go again!

We started our night at the diner for dinner.  We sat at the counter and the kids loved it!  Landon and I got pancakes and Reaggie ordered frosted mini wheats...are we fancy or what?!

Anna joined us for the evening :)



  


Love this pic!

The parade was great, the kids loved it!  We got home a little before 9, which is WAY late for my kiddos.  Reagan went right to sleep, in her Anna dress, while Landon watched a quick last show.  All 3 of us wound up sleeping together and Landon was up at 5:50am, which was a good time.  I tried to sneak us out of the room oh so quietly, but 5 minutes later, Reagan joined us downstairs.  We started our Halloween off nice and early!


some ghostly bananas and orange cinnamon rolls aren't a bad way to start the day though!

We got dressed and ready and headed to Milburn for the morning, which the kiddos just love!  It was so nice that Reagan had off these 2 days so we could do a couple more fun fall activities :)  I miss her during the day...some days more than others!




pre Pop-Pop getting on the bus...


post Pop-Pop :)

A lot of Reagan pictures...





...because this kid wouldn't leave the sand box and the trucks!


Fun with Mum-Mum!


blazing a trail out of the corn maze!!

Such a fun morning, but then it was home for lunch and naps!!  Even Reagan took a nap...resting up for the big night ahead!

Wednesday Fun

Last Wednesday Landon and I met some playgroup friends at the Garden State Discovery Museum.  The kids had a blast!
fishing was a huge hit!

The Landons



We left the museum about 1:30 so that we'd have plenty of time to pick up Reaggie at school.  Landon man passed out on the way home, but woke up in time for us to run in the grocery store, and then get R.  We were home for about an hour and then it was time to head to Filasky's for the Lower School Social.  It was raining about 15 minutes before we left, which caused HUGE tears from a certain little girl, but thankfully it cleared up and we were able to go.  Reagan saw her sweet friends, Macy and Dean, right away and they started throwing hay all over the place.


Does Landon look thrilled or what?!

It was a beautiful night!

We had some dinner and rode on a late night hayride...it was such a fun night with Reagan's school!

8!

Last Tuesday, the 28th, Keith and I celebrated our 8th anniversary!  It was a day full of roses, butterflies, and a quiet walk on the beach....riiiiiiight!  Even though it was totally opposite, we wouldn't have it any other way :)

Keith came home a little early...we had to carve our pumpkins that night because we had something the other nights of the week.  WELL...we weren't going to go out to dinner, but last minute decided to.  Texas Roadhouse just opened, so we were going to check it out UNTIL we noted the sign on the doors "Caution - Peanut Dust EVERYWHERE!" SOOOO we opted against messing with that, I don't know if Reagan would be okay in that environment or not, so to the oh so romantic establishment of Buffalo Wild Wings we headed.  I shared chicken fingers with the kids.

Daddy was SO lonely all by himself ;)

We came home from dinner and got right to carving!  The kids were so cute and REALLY into this year.






The many faces of this crazy kid!
  
  

Can you see what Reagan's pumpkin was?  3 guesses and the first 2 don't count...

It was a fun night celebrating with the kids...I even showed them our wedding album, which they loved.  They didn't think Daddy looked like Daddy, but somehow I still looked the same!  We are so blessed...what an amazing 8 years it has been!

And thanks to Mum-Mum and Pop-Pop we were able to have a little date afternoon on Saturday to celebrate!  We went to Lowe's, out to lunch, and saw a movie.  It was a fun afternoon with the hubs!
