Happy Halloween!


We started our Halloween festivities the day before by carving a pumpkin. Brady thinks that is so cool! He wanted to help, but when we stuck his arm inside the pumpkin to get the yucky stuff out he was out! Larry did a good job, as usual, and out on the front porch it went.







Halloween day Angelina had her HBOT to attend to and so Brady and Cirstyn hung out with Grams and Papa. Once we got home from all of that we were all in a rush to get ready for that evening. I was feeding Cirstyn, Angelina was having dinner, Larry was gathering costumes and getting the van together and Brady was running around the house like a crazy person! Brady was Thomas the Tank Engine, Angelina and Cirstyn were Ladybugs. They all looked so cute!



We met up with the English's (Andar, Lisa, Addison and Landon) for some trick-or-treating down their street. The kids had such a good time! Brady and Addison were so cute! They would run up to a door and knock-knock-knock. When they were greeted with candy they would say "Trick-Or-Treat!" getting all excited! Of course they were both so polite saying thank up as they ran back to us. All the kids were really good. Angelina and Cirstyn rode side-by-side in the stroller. I was going to get Angelina out to go up to a house, but she was so exhausted from her first week of HBOT that she just wanted to spectate. I think secretly she just wanted to enjoy the ride rather than work for candy she wasn't going to put into her mouth anyway!







After that we all went to their church for "Trunk-or-Treat" in the parking lot. Brady had this look on this face like he had just hit the jack pot! He scarfed down popcorn and a hot dog then took his dad off to score some candy. He ran into another little boy dressed in the same costume as him - I had to get this moment - they both couldn't believe the other was Thomas! It was so funny and cute. They even had the same pumpkin to toss candy in. I strolled the girls around behind them and we had one of their pumpkins attached to the side of the stroller. I wasn't even trying to get candy for them but they were so cute people just kept dropping it in - score for mom! We stayed for about an hour but by that time the Indians were getting tired so off we went. We stopped by Nana's and Papa's house to trick-or-treat them then home for bath and bed. Brady had so much fun this Halloween! All he could talk about was trick-or-treat and doorbells! We were both so proud of him for being such a good boy all evening and being so personable...we love you big boy!
