HALLOWEEN!!!

I  have so many Halloween pictures that I decided to put them all together into one big Halloween post! 

Claire's School Halloween Party!

Claire's school had their annual Halloween party this year.  They do such a nice job and the kid always have a blast.  I had parent teacher conferences so I had to meet everyone there a little later but we still had a blast.

Claire had fun playing with her new friends but she really loved seeing her old besties from her class last year.

Oliver loved coloring in the library.  

This year the party was great!  There was a live band and all kinds of activities!  I love Claire's school and all the fun stuff that they do.

Pumpkin Carving

This year the Cappellis came over to carve pumpkins with us and we had a blast.

Claire was a little grossed out by the "cleaning out" process but she took it like a champ.

Oliver loved every second of pumpkin carving!

Even Nicholas loved getting in there and scraping out his pumpkin.

And of course, these two just liked hanging out together.

After the kids cleaned out the pumpkins and chose their designs, Mark and I got to work carving away.

And I must say, they came out pretty spooky :)

Dancing Parties 

Claire loved her dancing party this year.  It really worked out that Claire and Giada's costumes went together.  Giada was a witch and Claire was a black cat.  They thought it was a riot that Claire could ride on the back of Giada's broomstick like her cat.

I can't even stand it out how old these two are!!!!  Click HERE to see the girls at their dancing party two years ago!

Claire's dance class.

Oliver recently started dance class.  Every time we would take Claire he loved to watch her dance and would tell me, "I wanna dance too!"  So Aunt Jacqie let him try a class and he LOVED it!  So now it's official, Oliver is a dancer :) He loved going to his dancing party too!  He loves taking dance class and he really enjoys all the activities that go with it!

He loved passing out all of his candy to his lady friends.

Oliver's dance class.

Trick or Treating 

Finally the big night came!!!  The Cappellis joined us for dinner and then some TRICK OR TREATING!!!!  Here are all the chickens in their costumes!!!!  Click HERE to check out last year's pics!  I can't believe how big Nicholas has gotten!

The kids could not wait to get out there!

Their first stop!

Poor Oliver spent the entire night trying to keep up with the girls!

And entertaining us all.  He stopped at EVERY house and talked to EVERY single person.  Some of his famous quotes for the night:

"Happy Halloween!  Where's your dad??"

"What's that smell?!"

"Where did you get your pumpkins from?"

"Do you have a dog??"

"What's your costume??" (to the elderly woman who was not wearing a costume)

"I had a dog, he is in heaven now."

And of course, he worked Aunt Jessica over and got a ride.

Nicholas did pretty well for his first time trick or treating on foot!

Oliver was proud of his loot!!

Claire was pretty proud of hers too!

Oliver loved sharing his candy with his best buddy Uncle Nick!

It was another great Halloween season!  Now it is time for Thanksgiving and then my favorite...CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!
