Halloween

Christopher and Michael went trick or treating with their friends, so they missed pictures.

The outtakes are always so cute too.  Makayla trying to keep Emma in place, Zachary showing his bucket and Joseph just wants to get going.

This one is super cute too.  Matthew kept his smile the whole time.  Notice the snow.  It wasn't too cold, but where there was shade, the snow hadn't melted from the storm, and some of the kids walked through the snow in their cloth shoes and had freezing feet, so they were done before others.  Mainly Makayla and Joseph wanted to keep going.  I wore Emma the whole time and she fell asleep, so she didn't actually collect candy and no one could see her costume.  My sister Calais and her husband Spencer came with us, so that was fun to have another adult to talk to.  Usually Rob and I switch off trick or treating with the kids, but Rob had foot surgery (spoiler, he had to have another one a month later) earlier that week, so he was recovering and handing out candy.

Michael's spoils.  When you run from house to house, you get a.l.o.t.  Yes, that was allllll his.  But we always make the kids put it together in a big bowl (or 3 this year). I think we let Michael keep his full sized ones.

Rob found a way to keep his foot relatively warm.  (That is a hat.  haha)

Trying on costumes before Halloween.

Super ninja turtle...you don't see one of those everyday.

Emma is a cute little friendly witch.
