...And Then There Was Halloween

You would think that I would give Halloween a little more attention, seeing as how I like free candy so much. And yet, it has slipped through the cracks once again, leaving all the uneaten Dots and Mike and Ike's in its delicious wake. Since we're in the brief pause between Thanksgiving and Christmas, I'll squeeze in our Halloween fun and try to do better next year. (No promises, folks.)

We'll start with the GCU carnival:

The girls thought this giant slide was great. I concur.

Lex was feeling a little protective of her candy.

Our little rock stars.

Cutie #2

(messy) Cutie #3

Next was the school carnival:

(Lex loves her Cheetos)

(Mommy loves her Vanna)

She ain't afraid of no cupcake

She liked the animals in the petting zoo about 

as much as she liked the Disney characters.

Craig, having a cow. (As usual.)

(Just kidding.)

The girls and their friends, Ermanie and Kekoa along 

with a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle that we don't happen to know.

Then there was actual Halloween. We went trick or treating with friends and the girls stayed up so late past their bedtime that Julia fell asleep twice at school the next day and took a two-hour nap when she got home. (These girls need their 11 hours, that's for sure.)

"Uh...hey guys...can someone open this 

delicious peanut butter cup for me?"

It took Lex a while to get the hang of trick or treating, 

but she figured it out. They always do.

I just love her royal cuteness.

The whole gang.

This is cute Gentry. He's Alexa's age. I love that he was 

amused by our friend Frank's creepy half-man zombie 

while all of the other kids ran away screaming.

The after-party at Holly's was a happenin' scene.
No wonder Julia was so tired.
