Halloween

Halloween weekend was pretty crazy around our place.  With our Halloween party plans being turned to mush, we went on ahead and had fun anyway!

Here is Maycee's pumpkin face.  Isn't it SO cute!

Stephen working on his big fatty pumpkin.

Cooper is being very meticulous about his pumpkin face.  I couldn't even get him to look at me.

Cooper specifically wanted me to see his pumpkins 'mouth'.  The thing on the bottom left corner.  It really looks like a mouth!  Go Cooper!

Shane, Krystal, and Lexi came trick-or-treating with us in Middleton!!  We were so excited to have them.  Right as they were walking in the door, Cooper leaned over and threw up on the floor.  No warnings.

Honestly I thought it was just a random, 'I've have way too much to eat' puke.  So we still continued to get ready.

Here's Cooper getting ready for his costume.  I LOVE that hairspray color stuff!

We were in the middle of trying to leave for trick-or-treating while people were trick-or-treating at our house while we took these pictures.  No one was really paying attention.  Apparently.  Except for me.

Can you tell who we are?

I LOVE Phineas and Ferb.

Ollie is Phineas.
Cooper is Ferb.
Maycee is Candace.  She's been getting into costume for weeks.  "You are SO busted!!"
Stephen is Doofenshmirtz.
I am Perry.

We look good.

It was so much fun to watch the kids interact with the people in the different houses together.

The Skaar costumes turned out pretty awesome.

Grandma and Grandpa Call came trick-or-treating with us too!

Trick-or-treating in Middleton was awesome!  A lot of people sat outside in their driveways dressed up with firepits blazing and their buckets of candy just waiting for the kids.  Maycee had a full-on conversation with every person that opened the door to give her candy.  So funny.

"Hi, my name is Maycee.  This is Cooper.  My hair is orange!  I'm Candace.  Thank you for my candy!  Can you give some to Lexi Jo?"

One man sitting outside, saw Lexi and said, "I'm Mike Wazowski!" really loud.  Lexi wouldn't go near him.  It was so much fun to watch all of these things happen!

AAHHHHHH I LOVE HOLIDAYS!!!!!

Cooper and Lexi raiding our candy for trick-or-treaters.

Here is Stephen's finished product.  He's good at this stuff.

After trick-or-treating we ate great soup and dipped apples.  We had caramel and chocolate to dip into and then a TON of toppings: oreo pieces, heath pieces, peanuts, coconut, mini marshmallows, crushed up graham crackers, mini chocolate chips.  IT WAS YUMMY!!

Again, as Shane and Krystal were leaving this time, Cooper threw up.  The next morning we were planning on getting up and traveling to Washington to see Kelsey and Nathan's new little baby boy, Keegan, be blessed, but it apparently wasn't meant to be.  We stayed home and slept all weekend long.  Our bug seemed to travel.

Honestly, Halloween was fun this year!  (Other than the rounds of throw up)  Thanks everyone, for coming all the way to Middleton to hang out!!

On another note, here are some cute pictures of Ollie while I was dying on the couch.  Thanks Cooper.

Man that kid is cute!
