Halloween




I'm kind of out ouf blogging these days (though i do read everyone elses). We had our annual "Trunk or Treating"...basically tailgating with treats, the other day. It was a lot of fun. The kids had a great time going from trunk to trunk getting their treats, and it was great to see everyone get their trunks all decorated! Luke loved his costume, and even went to bed wearing his hat. He's really into wearing hats these days, which bodes well for the winter time!
Olivia's flapper outfit was a big hit. I tried so hard to give her the cupid's bow lips, but her lips are so darn full, she ended up with a bigger smile than usual! But, she was charming as usual!
Tonight we trick or treated with Grandmom and PopPop. They dressed up too, so I'll have to get pictures of them up here next.
They had so much fun going from house to house. Olivia was a bit nervous at first going to strangers house, but as soon as they opened their doors and gave her candy, she deemed them to be "nice" people!
I'm always amazed at the people on our street who don't turn on their lights and don't give out candy. Is it really that hard to get a bag of candy and give it out? Five houses in a row on our street had cars in the driveway and didn't have lights on. It's not that hard! Meet some neighbors!
With the rain rolling in around 7:30, we were left with a nice big bowl of candy. Luckily it's stuff I like, so it won't go to waste!

Wedding weekend!







It's taken me a whole week to recover from Kevin and Jess' wedding weekend. A four day event which resulted with me totally losing my voice (ahhhh!). but, we had a blast! It was the kids first dressy event, and they really did well. Luke had a few problems being quiet during the ceremony, but Brad's blackberry and a hoarde of ants carrying an almond really kept him busy! He was like a little banker in his outfit, and Olivia looked super cute in her dressy dress. She even had nice hair (a miracle for her). It was a great time and we got to hang out a bit with little Charlie, who was styling in his tie/onsie (Luke refused to wear his tie...next time, going to get it emblazoned on his shirt...Charlie was smart).
Everyone danced the night away, but none more than Lukie who took to the floor like he was posessed by a breakdancer from 1987. It was awesome.
