Happy Halloween!!

So today was Tristan's very first Halloween-- he fell asleep during the trick or treating and slept almost the entire party-- oh well! For Tori, on the other hand, this was the first year she really LOVED Halloween. She had a blast trick treating and really liked passing out candy and having her friends over to play. We started the night with the grandparents coming over for dinner. Then we went trick or treating in the neighborhood and came back to the house to enjoy some fun and games. We played a couple games and did a couple crafts, but the big hit of the night was the pinata. The kids all took turns hitting it with a bat-- really cute. Then we roasted some marshmellows and made smores--yummm. It was incredibly chaotic and we are exhausted but Tori had a great time and that really is the important thing. Happy Halloween!!

Carving a Pumpkin

Tonight we carved a pumpkin-- well daddy did most of the carving but we all really enjoyed it! Tori was a t first skeptical of pulling out all the yucky insides, until she saw her baby brother happily sticking his hands in to pull out stuff, then she wanted another try :) Tori asked faor a very happy pumpkin and that is what she got--it turned out really cute! Here are some pics.

Sunday Halloween Fun

Today was a wonderfully busy day! Trav, Tori, Tristan and I went on the Halloween train with Auntie Meli, Kya, Kiana and Max. The weather was beautiful sunny and perfect. The Snoqualmie train had a fun program with a musician, craft and train ride that was really fun. After the train ride the 4T's had ice cream with Max. Tori had to have the same ice cream as Max and stared at him the entire time. We then went back to Auntie Dani's where Christian, Jonah and Chris were playing football. Max and Trav decided to join in while Tori and I were photographers (Tori used the camera Grandma Val got her that she adores). Trav had an awesome time playing football with the boys! Auntie Dani invited us to stay and eat with them which was really nice. The boys rolled around on the floor with Tristan and mimicked his movements which he thought was awesome! Then the boys entertained us with handstands and push ups! What a fun time.

Trick or Treating in West Seattle

On Saturday we met up with Grandma Frances and went trick or treating in the junction. It was a lot of fun all the local business passed out candy for the kids-- and oh boy were there kids EVERYWHERE! By the end Tori was beat and said "no more" and Tristan was asleep.

Pumpkin Prowl at the Zoo

Last night we went to the pumpkin prowl at the zoo. Auntie Mel, Kya and Kiana came into town and joined us. Baby Layla (Tristan's girl) joined us as well with her mommy and daddy. It was really fun and the kids had a great time minus a few scary moments for the kids. Tori is a flower, Tristan a bee, Kya a vampiress, and Nana is a witch. Here are some cute pics.
