Halloween Season





What a busy Halloween week. Grandma Barbara made the girls costumes, as she does every year. Maddy is a Fairy and Kennedy is a bunny. Both very well made costumes. The tutu part of Maddy's costume is huge, and what a chore it was lugging it around to so many parties. Kennedy was not to fond of her costume, whenever she saw it she would cry, but the little bunny tail was so dang cute. The craziness all began last Friday one week before Halloween. Maddy's friends across the street, Nicholas and Aurora invited Maddy to their Halloween party. She had a lot of fun, and it was the first party she went to without mom or dad. Trever and I took advantage of our time and played couple games of Monopoly. I kicked his butt, but he would say otherwise. Saturday we were off to an early start, walking door to door for my mom. It was nice to see how many of my friends came out to support my mom, I really do have great friends. Then the parties began. The first was at Vicky's. When we were on our way there Maddy was starting to fall asleep so Trever told her he would make her a bet, if she fell asleep she had to pay him a dollar if she stayed awake he would pay her a dollar. Maddy agreed to the bet, and it was on. About 15 minutes later Maddy says "dad guess why I'm not going to fall asleep", why Maddy, "because I don't have a dollar" it was as if she had been pondering this for 15 minutes... hmm I don't have a dollar to pay if I do fall asleep. Trever and I were laughing for a long time over that one. Our next destination was Kylies party. She turned 9. We had to cut out early to make it to Tyler and Sara's party, so Sara could parade her cute nieces to her friends. Barbara and BJ took the girls from their so they could have a sleep over. Sunday Trever was up at 3am to go Goose Hunting, and I was up just a few hours later to get the girls so we could make it to another party. This was Trever's family party at the West Valley accord center. Then on Tuesday was Maddy's dance Halloween party, then Thursday was her preschool party. Today is the last of Halloween, its been a fun week but so busy. Tonight is bitter sweet, Maddy is so excited to go trick or treating but Trever had to work he was pretty bummed to not be able to go with her. We are going trick or treating with Gavin, Kylie and Christian. Its odd that its so light still since we havent had day light savings yet. But even odder is how warm it is, it was 73 degrees today. I was worried about Maddy's costume and her getting cold. But nope, its perfect weather Im not even sure its cold enough to wear a hoodie
Oh yeah, Kennedy is rolling over. She made it just shy of 6 months! And holding her bottle by herself.
