Happy Halloween!!!

Buzz (4 1/2), Little Green Alien (almost 2), Princess Belle (7)

We've been having halloween for about a week now. It started last friday with a little halloween party with Brylee & Addy before they left for Minnesota. They had some cute little games and treats. The kids had fun.

That same night, we had the school carnival. They LOVE that! They played lots of games, got a few treats and prizes, and Chloe got her face painted.

Then yesterday we took 'em trick-or-treating. They LOVED it! We went around to a few more houses this year, so they got WAY more candy than in years past. Chloe loved being Belle, she's known for months that she wanted to be her. We even tried to do her hair kind of Belle-ish. Porter, of course was Buzz, and Coop was HIS little green alien. Bubb said it like this "adlehn," and he HATED his little hat. He was pretty good about wearing it for pictures though. It was kinda rainy and cold, but they didn't care at all! They were so excited, and we spent most of the day today eating eachother's halloween candy.

This last week was Red Ribbon week (anti drug campaign) at Chloe's school. Every day is a different theme that goes along with why they don't do drugs--hat day, beach day, etc. Thursday was "drugs and I don't mix" and they were supposed to wear mismatched clothes. I just thought she looked particularly cute...

I tried to get her to wear two different shoes, but she wouldn't. She told me "that's just too weird, Mom."

In other news...

Chloe and Port both got sick Thursday night. They were "throw upping" most of the night. It was just a short-lived little virus, and it was gone sometime around 5 in the morning. So they stayed home from school on Friday, and they were both a little sad. They had to miss costume day and halloween parties at their schools. Chloe was more sad than Port, and cried a bit. She wanted SO much to wear her costume and go in the halloween parade and most of all to see her teacher all dressed up. She kinda loves her teacher. But anyway...everybody's feeling better, and it was only the 2 big kids who got sick (thank goodness!!).
