HALLOWEEN 2013

October is drawing to a close as I sit on the couch thinking about how tired I am.  October has certainly lived up to its wrap of being one of the busiest months of our year.  And here we are at the end - it always goes out with a bang - Halloween.

Last night we carved our pumpkin.  We haven't done this with the girls, and they loved it!





They asked for the pumpkin to have "Butterfly Eyes," so that is what they got.



We rounded out that evening with s'mores - always a win in my book.



Then, tonight was the big night.  Halloween had arrived.  We put on our costumes and readied ourselves for the party.  Of course, sugar cookies were a part of the mix.



We were cowboys and Indians.  John had brought the girls' outfits from India when he was there last year, and we decided to build on those.  It turned out really fun.



The kiddos turned out adorably, as we all knew would happen.

We had a party with 21 kiddos that was mass pandemonium and super fun.  The group shot is missing several kids, but you get the idea.



Then we trick or treated.  After the first house, we decided to split into smaller groups so as not to overwhelm any one house with our massive swarm of children.

After most people went home, we passed out candy at our house.  Our neighborhood is no joke on Halloween.  We also sorted the candy.  Lily's idea.

All in all, it was a wild success.  We are so blessed with friends, and I am so blessed to live life with my handsome cowboy.



Peace out, October.  You've been real.
