Halloween Week

Well, October flew by! We had lots of fun last week celebrating Halloween with our crew. 

We read Halloween books after school. 

and these two cuddled up together to read. 

Megan wanted to do some baking, so she made Halloween cupcakes and decorated them herself! 

The little girls had book character day on Halloween. Adalyn wore her unicorn costume that she picked for this year, and took her book "How to Catch a Unicorn" and Megan decided that she wanted to be Laura Ingalls. We're currently reading our way through the series, and Gretchen was Laura for Halloween when she was in 3rd grade, so I fully expect that Adalyn will choose it too. 

We had all the makeup everywhere when the girls were getting ready for trick or treating. 

Gretchen went as Isis, Megan chose Uma, and Adalyn was a unicorn. 

We let the girls hit up a few houses on our street before.... 

heading over to a friend's house for trick or treating! 

Add and K are the littlest of the bunch. 

It was a bit chilly on Halloween, but we were thankful that it wasn't raining! 

Uma got lots and lots of candy! 

We're so thankful for sweet friends! 

We came home with three buckets full of candy and an extra bag. It's going to take us a year to go through it all. 

Friday after school, DJ came home early, so Adalyn and I headed to the nail salon and then to Target. She was super excited when she found the Target dog. 

We all went out for pizza Friday night and we were super pumped that DJ was home all day Saturday thanks to a bye weekend. We watched college football, cooked White Chicken Chili and then headed off to watch Megan do her thing with her gymnastics team. 

She's come so far with her skills, and was asked to continue with show team next year. She'll move on to team when she builds some more upper body strength ;) But, she's super happy to remain on show team because a lot of her friends are staying on show team too. 

She's the one in the middle of the three doing the handstand. 

We're so proud of this girl!

We spent Sunday morning at church, and then basically had the longest day ever! We got lots accomplished and feel ready for the week!
