Halloween

Happy {belated} Halloween! We had such a busy day on Halloween, school party after school party, our own fun at home, and then of course the big event! Peighton was a little trooper and outlasted her big sibs if you can believe it! It's all about the candy! Addi and Carson started out strong, but I think after all the anticipation and parties from earlier in the day, they were just too pooped to party any more!

This was our pumpkin carving night. It was Wednesday night, one of Chadd's two nights off in the work week. I skipped bible study this night and the kids skipped Awana so that we could spend it together! Yes, I still feel guilty. I'm hoping lightning doesn't strike us down - but we had tons of fun together!
