Halloween

A few days before Halloween, I finally got a decent Halloween pic of the two boys together.  We moved all our pumpkins over by the fireplace and made our own little photo set.  We had a few outtakes but then we got a good one!

Joseph was arranging the pumpkins and I'm not sure what Andrew was doing!

Ok no boys, put the pumpkins down!

And there are my sweet boys!

And now for the actual Halloween Day pics!   Unfortunately this was the day Joseph was diagnosed with strep so we had to cancel our trick our treating plans with Bridget's family.  I was really bummed but it actually turned out to be a really fun night.  And my Mom came in town that afternoon for the weekend and got to do Halloween with us which was such a great treat!

We decided that we would just take the boys to a few houses in our neighborhood since Joseph was sick.  Honestly he was acting totally fine but we didn't want him to overdo it and didn't want him to really be around too many other kids so going in our small neighborhood worked out perfect.  Both boys had so much fun!   Joseph did so good saying "Trick or Treat!", although sometimes he would just say "More candy!", haha.  And if I told Andrew to go get some more candies in his bag, he would take off running behind Joseph and stick his bag out for some treats...so cute!   A lot of people just left their bowls on their porch (like we did) while they were out with their own kids, so the boys had fun picking out their favorite candies. 

It was neat getting to visit with all the new neighbors and some of the other neighbors we hadn't met yet while we were out and about too.   Little Andrew started slowing down about half way through and wanted to be carried.  He was so ready for bed!  So between me, mom and Michael we took turns helping Roo stay up!  :)

My little giraffe!

 

And fire chief!

 

Love this picture of my sweet boys!  All ready to start trick or treating!

The first house to the nice couple diagonal from us.

On to the next house

Excited to choose what they want from the bowl

And of course they had to peek in the window and say hi to the little doggie in the window  ;)

Cheese!

Andrew ended up dragging his candy bag half the time because it got too heavy for him

On to the next one!

Cuddles with Grandma!

Joseph's little reflectors on his jacket always lit up the pics

Daddy's turn to carrie Andrew

Back at home, Grandma helped the boys dump out all their treats!

An attempt at a family pic...Michael never smiled because he thought we were doing a picture showing off we were all eating a sucker.  ??   :P
