A Visit With Mel & @ GG's AND Halloween

As previously discussed, I am the worlds worst blogger, so here is my post, which should be two, another month late!  

We went to Papa & Gigi's house to visit Mel and the kids.  It was a blast!  The kids played in the leaves with GiGi forEVER!  They had so much fun!

Mel is one of those super moms and she brought the stuff to make haunted houses.  The kids had so much fun!  They loved bringing them home to show Nick.  I was pleasantly surprised by how much candy actually made it on the houses.

Reagan loves this hat, and follows Ike around putting it on him every time he takes it off.

We took the kids Trick or Treating down Sherman Ave. this year.  All the stores stay open and pass out candy.  The fireman and police are there too.  Coen couldn't figure out trick or treating for the life of him.  He'd stand there looking at them with his bag behind his back and his mouth hanging open and then turn around in circles when they tried to put the candy in his bag.  It was funny.  You'd think this would be an easy holiday to pick up.  Maybe next year.  Reagan really wanted her face painted, but I am not cool and have no face painting skills, so she just got dots.  Sorry sweetie!

We had our friend Lauren come over and help us carve our pumpkins.  She was a HUGE help, since I am not such a great carver of pumpkins and she brought dinner.  She's the best!  She went trick or treating with us too.  And later, she didn't even tell us when we made her sick.  Sorry Lauren!  We love you!
