Happy Halloween!

Halloween felt a little chaotic again this year.  We ended up getting their costumes a week before hand (they had their preschol party on Thursday so there wasn't much choice).  Then we got the pumpkins and carved the pumpkins on Sunday (the day before).  I can say I'm looking forward to NOT having a trip in the middle of October so we can take our time and do the pumpkin patch and such.  Anyways, on to the important stuff!  Pictures! 

From when they were very little Kayda thought the gooey insides of a pumpkin were interesting, Dillon wanted nothing to do with them!  This continues...
 Daddy was trying to make pumpkin goo "fun", Dillon didn't buy it!
After we were done carving pumpkins we HAD to take them outside and we HAD to get candles in them and we HAD to light them RIGHT THEN.  It cracked me up that Kayda and Dillon were so adamant about it.

Halloween was a busy day, Kayda and Dillon had preschool, we went straight to Grandma G's in an attempt to minimize car time.  Kayda and I went to speech, she went in completely alone for the first time.  She told me she wanted to do it "on her own".  So she made me wait by the main office while she walked down to speech all by herself.  When she was done Mrs. Schultz brought Kayda to me so she could fill me in on what they worked on.  Kayda thought it was just great so I guess we'll be doing that every Monday now.  She is growing up WAY too fast. 

Back to Halloween... After speech I finished getting kids in costumes, got a picture and we were off!
We headed down to Daddy's work to see Daddy, Grandpa H, Uncle Pat and some of the other people there.  Daddy had fun walking around with the kids and showing them off.  Of course everyone thought they were adorable, they were especially impressed with Carson, that's just the way babies work! 
Then it was off to see Grandma H!  We caught her shortly after she got home from work.  We took a short break at her house to feed Carson and take some extra pictures.


 We loaded into the car again and went to see Baba!
Back in the car and back to the house.  Poor Kayda ended up in the car for over an hour and a half! Around 6:30 the kids were bundled up and ready for trick or treating.  It was a long, busy day but the kids had fun and that's what counts!

And here's a random picture of our smiley Carson. when Kayda and Dillon were babies we had to work for their smiles but Carson hands them out so easily!  All you have to do is smile at him!
