"The fundamental mission of motherhood now is the same as it always was: to nurture, protect, and instruct children, to create a home environment that enables them to learn and grow, to help them develop a heart for God and his purposes, and to send them out into the world prepared to live both fully and meaningfully."

-Sally Clarkson from the Mission of Motherhood

Halloween

We had a week full of Halloween activities which made for a sugar filled, mulitple costume crazy time!
First up: costume parade at gymnastics.  Sissy chose to be Pocahontas.

All the cute little girls in their duds!

Her group
Then Friday night it was time for the Fall Festival.  Super siblings :)

Don't mess with these superheroes!


Very sad this photo is blurry, but had to capture Clark's excitement when he saw our little twin buddies, Coyt and Crew Alligator.  He lOvEs them. :)
And then we met up with some of our fellow superheroes, Wonder Woman and Batman!!!
Cousin B was not down for a picture that night.  Maybe because Clark really wanted to give him a hug.  :) 
Cookie walk action
Miss Thang called out the winning colors.  No shyness here
Saturday afternoon we went to a family pumpkin party.  This was our attempt at a picture.  A little too bright!
Picking out the perfect pumpkin
And getting it decorated juuuuuuust right...
It was so fun!  Complete with a hayride and yummy dinner.  The kids loved feeding the donkey---until he bit Clarky's hand.  :)  No tears, though!  He was tough!
Enjoying the campfire
And then it was finally Halloween!!
Clark really liked a friend's spaceman helmet.

Trick or treat!  Clark was really into it this year!

And we spent our night trick or treating with this little jailbird and his big brother cop.  :)  (My favorite costumes of the night!)
I love seeing Halloween through my kids' eyes.  Such a fun time of year!
