Crazy Halloween!


I have never had a more jammed packed Halloween. It was non-stop. Irelyn fortunately always has plenty of energy to keep up with me. First we went to go see daddy at the bank. They went all out with a cowboys and Indians theme. So cute! Brandon's costume was a half hearted attempt at a cowboy.

Then we went to Aunt Jamie's house for a party. We ate YUMMY soup and the kids decorated cookies. My mother-in-law was so sweet to make Irelyn and her cousins fun Halloween outfits. The girls got these cute dresses. Irelyn's says, bootiful is what I am. Gracie and Hallie's says, My first Halloween. They looked so cute in them.
But getting there picture proved to be really difficult. One baby is hungry and the other tired and then one baby is crying because my daughter is trying to eat them, it's drama already. But so much fun!
Brenda also made shirts for the boys. I know, she is awesome. Adding two more hyper boys to the picture made it just a extra dose of fun. This crowed is ciaos!

After our fun party it was time to go see Grandma Blackwell and show her how cute her dress was she made. Before we took off, just a side note, I put gas in the car for 2.57 a gallon, (40 bucks for a FULL tank) SO EXCITED about that. Anyways they were doing some trick-or-treating at Grandpa's work so we went to go see him and the kids.

Then we hit up some trunk-or-treat with Brielle, Grandma, and Grandpa. But Irey was passed out in her car seat the whole time getting a much needed nap in. Once she woke up she was ready to party again, so over to Grandma's house for some MORE pictures on her cute porch.
Well it was time to go meet up with daddy and go to Grandma Jackie's house so she could see her grand-babies and so we could take MORE pictures with the cousins. We ate some pizza and did some trick-or-treating.
Overall it was a fun night. I didn't realize that with kids it's really about parading them around in there costumes to the grandparents!? But hey, who doesn't like to parade there kid around? By the end of the night, we were beyond tired. Irelyn had more then had it! For once I actually wore her out.

I love Irey's costume. Halloween is so fun with babies. But I completely agree with the whole parading babies around but I guess that's what makes it so fun.
