HALLOWEEN!

As always, the Halloween festivities lasted for days this year! A few of the highlights....

We had a great time at the pumpkin patch. Well, let me rephrase... the kids had a great time at the pumpkin patch. We usually like to go as a family, but it rained on all of Adam's off days, so I had the priveledge of taking all 3 kids, and Bryce's friend Hunter, by myself.

Because it had been raining so much, I made a completely WRONG shoe choice... I mean, who wears heels to the farm anyway?

Addison, was also not a very big fan of the mud. She really wanted to pick a pumpkin....

Then her hand got dirty...

Photobucket

So she was outta there :)

I guess the petting zoo and hay ride made up for it, because she even smiled for this picture!

Nana and Papa flew in (which is always very exciting) and they carved the pumpkins with the kids.

Kaelyn had to wash hers first... I guess it was muddy...

And Addison, again, was not a big fan of getting her hands dirty, so Papa had to carve hers. She's kinda hard to impress :)

The neighborhood rented a cotton candy and popcorn machine and we volunteered (Adam says he was volun-told), to make cotton candy for the kids.

Photobucket

The girls LOVED it!

I don't even think that love is the right word... it was more like OBSESSED. My mom tried to take a picture of the girls with my dad without cotton candy... um yeah, sorry Nana! That was not going to happen!

Photobucket

Once the candy came out, it was impossible to get any pictures. All I have to say is... Addison has QUITE a sweet tooth. Probably even worse than her mom :)

Photobucket

Notice how she's unable to take her eyes off Ryan's candy in the group picture.

Photobucket

This is pretty much what all of the pictures from Halloween look like...

Photobucket

So today, I bribed them with candy so I could get some good ones (well, as good as it was gonna get) with their costumes on. Just looking at the skittles wasn't good enough for Addison...

Photobucket

She had to physically hold them, and then all was well :)

Incase you were wondering, Addison is not a T-rex, or an alligator... Bryce was the knight, Kaelyn was the princess (duh!), and Addison was the girl dragon (said in the donkey's voice from shrek!).

A girl dragon that loves her some candy!
