Halloween!

Oh my goodness, did JJ LOVE Halloween!  We started the morning at music and he wore his costume.  He was Yoda this year because the three kids from small group were all Star Wars characters.  He has no idea who Yoda is so I got him in his costume by telling him he had to put on his new coat and hat to go to music.  It worked like a submission collar on him because he just stood and stared for most of music when he usually dances all over the place. 

 

After music we came home and the kids napped while I got ready for our Halloween party!  I really enjoy hosting all the small group couples and their kids so we can enjoy trick-or-treating together.

 

Fall Mantle

Water tastes better with themed labels.

Bat Bait. MMMM!

Bones



Hot drinks to take trick-or-treating.  In a dirty crock pot.  I'll get on that. :)

SPIDERS!

 JJ wasn't very excited about putting on his costume in the evening.  He was quite ornery and only wanted to dig in the candy bowl all night.  We had to tell him that he had to put on his "coat and hat" if he wanted to go get some candy.

JJ, Emma, and Jacob ready for candy!

 Charley was an elephant because she's huge:)  The girl is 4 months old and is currently sleeping in a 9 month sleeper.  She didn't mind her costume and she loved taking a break from her helmet for the night.  She did a great job tagging along with the big kids in her stroller.

Trick-or-treating with Mimi.

 Because of what we told him earlier in the night trying to get him in his costume, he walked up to every door and said "Get some candy!"  After a reminder he said "trick-or-treat" and "thank you."

Once he realized he got candy at each house, he RAN to the next house.

Sometimes elephants get tired.

 

Bryan and I dressed up too!  I was a witch and Bryan was a Fire Man.  The Chicago Fire soccer team played their first (and last :( ) playoff game last night so Bryan was showing his team spirit in the form of a Halloween costume.

After walking around the neighborhood we came back to our house and hung out with our friends.  It was another great night in the Clark house!
