Happy Halloween!

We had a great Halloween!  Ryan was very into this year, and so proud to wear his turtle costume.  Kendall wanted nothing to do with her kitty cat costume, but I told her she could have a "soccer ball" (aka sucker) if she put it on for one picture.

Thank goodness the first picture of the trio turned out:

Because moments later Kendall turned into a little monster:

She sat for one picture, and now she wanted that "soccer ball".

Her costume came off shortly after as well.  I didn't think we'd get it back on, but we did.  We went to some friends house for a potluck and trick or treating around their neighborhood.  They have a great neighboorhood full of extremely festive Halloween houses.  Once Kendall figured out the trick or treating she really got into it.  It was so much fun to watch her!  She became quite possessive of her treat bucket too!

Ryan had a blast trick or treating with his friends, and was so excited to get home and sort his stash!  Natalie loved being outside as we walked from house to house.  She was the perfect pumpkin!

We spent the month of October getting into the Halloween spirit by making lots of fun crafts, too!
