Halloween Festivities

The kids had a great time today for Halloween. We had some yard work to get done, but then went swimming for awhile - can you believe it! It was a little cold at first, but they had a blast. It'll probably be the last time for the year. However, Blake says he wants to jump in on Christmas...we'll see.
Then after the traditional pizza dinner, our little fairy and dirt bike racer were headed out to canvas the neighborhood.There weren't as many people home tonight as usual because of the big Georgia vs Florida football game that was on, but the kids still made out with quite the haul.Notice Blake's strategy for seeing what he ended up with...who sits and classifies their candy into groups?Ashlyn couldn't have fit another piece of candy in her bucket if she wanted to!

All in all it was a great Halloween, however I'm already sick of monitoring the candy...after breakfast tomorrow I think Rick and I have agreed to let them go at it. I'll let ya know how it goes...hopefully nobody pukes on my couch!

you should definitely let them go at it and feel sick. Cat said to me the other day, "I want to eat lots of candy! But I think I shouldn't eat too much because then my tummy will hurt." How great to learn that lesson early.

Madison had 2 of those buckets full! We had our trunk or treat and then we went to select neighborhoods, and friends houses! I got lucky and they haven't even asked for any this morning!

Only in GA would you see a sleeveless costume for Halloween. She looks adorable. I guess I didn't know Blake was going to be a dirt biker. Did he borrow the costume from Grandpa:)
