Halloween Fun!

Ashley was crying and way over it. She was a bit dramatic hanging her head.

Thank the good Lord for Cheerios!

Jake just looks a little too sweet to pull off a vampire:-)

The kids and I had a fun, but exhausting day! Bob is out of town unfortunately.  Jake and I carved the pumpkin while Ashley was napping today since we hadn't gotten to it all week. Then all the neighbors started our Halloween get-together at 4:00 for a chili party. Then we started trick-or-treating about 6:30. (Trying to get two kids ready to go by myself was a task!) The neighborhood kids have gotten together to trick-or-treat for the past 5 years or so and they LOVE it!

Jake wanted to be a vampire this year. This is his first year wanting to be something scary and it was fun. Ashley was a ladybug. She was not feeling the best from her cold and just being plain exhausted, so I didn't get any upright photos of her in her costume. She really didn't want much to do with it at all, but she was fine once we got outside with some Cheerios. :-) It was a chilly night and windy, but she was a trooper! She is one tough cookie from being carted around since she was born.
