A Happy Halloween weekend

Well, we had a good one.  It all started Friday morning before school (and the Fall party) that AM announced to me she'd like to be a cat--not Barbie the Mermaid. 
ok. One black leotard, black tights, and dance skirt later....walla...cat costume!  All we had to do was make a couple of ears and staple them to a headband.  phew.  I hope she doesn't think it will always be this easy to whip up a costume!



Jump to Sunday night!
(Friday night we had a fall festival at church, but I didn't take any pictures!  It was slightly chaotic because Clark BUSTED both lips open just as we were walking in so that sort of set the tone for the night.  :) )
Anyway, Halloween night we went over to the Wilson's house for a fun little party.  My pictures are kind of random.  Sorry about that.  We had a yummy dinner, and then headed out to do some old fashioned trick or treating!
Here's the hostess, Nicki, (Wendy) pulling her little Reese (Tinkerbell) along with her niece. 



Just a snapshot of some of the crew: including Mammadou, a BU basketball player.  The Wilsons have taken him under their wing!





This picture warms my heart.  I love that it captures me with my chunky monkey on my hip, his chunky little leg, and his darling little smile.  It's not that great of a picture, but it does make me smile.  These are the days.



AnnMarie and Brody. These two broke away early from the pack and went house to house with no distractions!  They were serious!



So sweet.  Sister taking Bubba up for his first Trick or Treat



When we got home, I took AM to some neighbors' houses.  Before we left we lit our jack-o-lantern. 



And after a couple streets, we were pooped, and her pumpkin was FULL.  I think you can tell from the picture that her tummy was too.
Goodnight, Halloween!
