halloween fun

we have been having lots of fun celebrating halloween. honestly, i thought halloween would not be a big deal this year because we will be in waco for baylor homecoming on halloween night, but we have found several opportunities to get dressed up and celebrate.

our first event was the mpe playgroup. these are my friends that i taught with at merriman park and we all had babies within the same year. there are a few older siblings in the bunch and we've added quite a few new siblings since our group began 3 years ago.

it's hard to see everyone but from left to right we have-- sophia the princess riding a unicorn, diego as elvis, ryan the pirate, carson the pirate, hannah as a fifties girl holding kenzie the caterpillar, lola the octopus, lilli as super lilli to the rescue, olivia the monkey holding jack the banana, emily the tootsie roll, abby as raggedy ann, and alex as a star wars character, i think he is a jedi solider (sorry i don't know my star wars)

we missed whit and henry. randall was there too but he was not into costumes or pictures this year. a big thanks to anne and randall for hosting this fun playdate.

jack and kenzie. look how cute in their coordinating baby legs.

next was the fall festival at olivia's school does. they have a dinner, games, and trunk or treating. we skipped the games and dinner but had lots of fun collecting candy at the trunk or treating. it only took us 15 minutes and we were all satisfied. ) shhh, don't tell the kids we missed anything.) we got to go to this event with our cousins so that was half the fun!!

olivia the monkey, kingsley the pretty ballerina, jack the banana, and abby as sleeping beauty

jack enjoyed the stroller ride. he was warm and cozy! i promise he was happy! :)

olivia decided that she needed a REAL banana added to her look. yummy!

we did have a few sessions of just taking pictures. i loved that olivia and jack's costumes coordinated this year so i had to make sure we got a few good pictures.

my precious little monkey...

and sweet banana!

the halloween fun is not over. we are headed to waco, but before the homecoming festivities begin we are going to go trick or treating with some friends. it has been a fun couple of weeks and olivia is already talking about what she wants to be next year. happy halloween everyone!!
