Halloween

We had a relaxing Halloween Day. Cooper started running a fever Saturday night and was not feeling well and it ran through the morning of Halloween so we didn't go to church. We weren't sure that he was going to be able to dress up and go to the carnival that night, but his fever broke around 10:00 and he was ok the rest of the day. He was just EXTREMELY fussy! As you'll see in the pictures that follow! :)

Playing with their Daddy!



Our church has Carnival31 every year on Halloween. We've gone for the past 3 years! We always meet Zack & Melanie and their kids too! Madison was so excited to go trick-or-treating. She even practiced saying it all day. I had high hopes that she would follow through when the time came.

Here is my sweet butterfly:





Here's my grumpy gnome!

He wasn't mad about the costume. He was mad that I put him down to take his picture. He wanted to be held and he didn't want anyone to touch him. Madison had put her arm around him trying to be sweet and that sent him into a screaming fit! He fell asleep as soon as we got in the car.

Quick cousins picture while waiting in the trunk-or-treat line. After all that practicing Madison would not say 'trick-or-treat' or thank you. After a few times we made her get out of the line.


We moved onto the games. She wanted to play them but she was too shy! So we moved on again...




To the bounce houses and bounce slides! This was right up her ally. She had so much fun sliding and bouncing.



Cooper and Kailyn watching Ethan ride a mechanical bull. Cooper did such a great job once we were outside. He sat in the stroller most of the night. Towards the end I let him out to run around. He loved watching the kids jump in the bounce house. He just laughed and laughed!






We tried to get a picture of the kids out of the strollers but it just didn't work!

We only stayed at the carnival about an hour and then we came home to watch the Rangers :)
