Halloweenie!

This year, Emma is a beautiful purple fairy and Noah is a floppy puppy dog.

Taking pictures isn't really Noah's cup of tea at this stage in his life, so that's why he's giving me the stink eye.

These are precious though. He loves his new Owl Trick or Treat bag and he really likes his costume. I'm pretty sure Emma was over there making him giggle, hence the cute face. ;)

Emma's always up for a photo op and she looked as beautiful as ever. Still getting used to the short hair, though! :)

This Halloween, Tony was in Iraq working and Mimi was out of town, so Amber and I took the kids to the PH Church down the road to the Halloween carnival they have each year. The kids absolutely loved it! They jumped and slid on bouncy things and we had hots dogs, followed by trunk or treating. It's a really great thing they do for the kids over there and it's super fun without having to walk miles through a neighborhood.

Halloweenie, Halloweenie!!

This Halloween was very unique. My Granny went into the hospital yesterday with pneumonia in her right lung, so I knew we were going to go to the hospital to see her as part of our Halloween activities. So, because of this, I planned for us to start early. And then I thought... if we're going to go all the way into town, we'll just go over and see my other grandma, who is about the same distance from the hospital as it is to go back to our house, so that's what we did. We drove LOTS of miles or only an itty bitty bit of candy! :)

And while Noah took his afternoon nap, I got Emma all spiffied up (even make-up!!) and we went outside and had us a little impromptu photoshoot. It was fun and I think she looks SO beautiful!

Marley had to be in the middle of everything, of course.

It was approaching four o'clock, which was a good hour after I wanted to leave, so we went and woke up Noah. He looks pleased, don't ya think? LOL....

I wish I could post the super cute picture of him when he stood up, but he had again stripped himself of his pants and diaper and so I don't think he would appreciate a picture of his little man on the internet for the world to see. Trust me, though... it's the cutest picture EVER.

We got all ready and went to Mimi's first, as she was going on our multi-county Halloween adventure...

He is the cutest monkey I have ever seen!

Sweet boy... just wanna eat him!

And Mama took this of me and my babies. I LOVE it!!

Then we went to see Granny in the hospital. All the nurses and patients were just ooohing and ahhhing over them. It was so cute! :)

And of course, it made Granny's night to see her sweet little ones.

And I forgot to take pictures when we went to Mama Peggy's and Aunt Kathy's houses, but we really enjoyed seeing them as well. When we got home, they got all cozy in their Halloween pj's and settled in for some left-over pizza and a Halloween movie. It was such a long day, but we got to see lots of people we love and we drove many, many miles. I think next year, we're going to try to pick and neighborhood and do the normal trick-or-treating. :)
