happy halloween!! here is a glimpse of our celebrations:
kai had his first halloween party at preschool. these glasses were a hit! he got a lot of smiles when he wore them (so seriously) to pick up sadie and abe from school. if you have the chance, have kai sing one of the halloween songs he learned. his competitiveness shines through and he tries to sing the loudest that he (or any other child) can.
it was abe's year to have a halloween party at our house. he invited a few friends the day before halloween and we had some spooky fun to get us ready for the real deal. the kids really got into it, but i still think it was more fun for me.
max was the sweetest puppy ever. it was so fun to take him trick-or-treating. he was amazed that people were handing him candy. he wanted to stop and eat it after every house.
abe and kai were soccer rivals, abe-argentina and kai-brazil. dave surprised them with these soccer jerseys about a month early and it was a hard wait. my mom always says anticipation is half the fun...i'm not sure, halloween was pretty fun.
sadie and her friend were babies. they had a good time planning, shopping, and getting ready. they were the biggest, coziest, cutest babies. in fact every time sadie sees this picture, she says, "oh, we look so cute!"
here is the trick-or-treating crew. afterwords, a few more neighborhood kids came over for a late-over, which consisted of hot chocolate, movie, and lots of counting and categorizing candy. the kids had a great time! now i get the job of trying to monitor candy intake without seeming like a control freak. i kind of hope they just eat it all really fast and then we can be done with it.
oh yeah, we can't forget about dave. he got into the spirit of things this year and dressed up for work. his shirt is hard to see but it says, "trust me, i'm a doctor". i should have taken a full body shot because he looked like a punk with his outfit, spiked hair, and his awesome burns and barbells. i guess not quite punk enough though, because some of his patients just thought he was normal-ish. i wish i could have been a fly on the wall.
