Halloween Highlights and more (2008)....

Here are my long awaited Halloween cuties........obviously, we didn't have a theme....Hayes was Scream, Makena- Tinkerbell, Hannah- 70's Peace girl & Kamryn- a butterfly..... oh and Bandit was a pumpkin-
The day started off with Makena's school party- Jami (aka: Junie B. Jones) & Makena

We did art, ate tons of junk food, & played all kinds of fun games (or so we thought), including musical chairs-

I found out that Makena has that competitive gene in her body just as her big Bro. & Sis.!

She was having so much fun and among the last 3 each round we played. Somewhere around the 4th or 5th time we played, she got tired of the boys always winning!

Still smiling here, trying to be a good sport-

THEN....
I took this picture just so she could see how pitiful she looked...this must have been around game #7 or 8- still hadn't won! (FYI-she wasn't the only one acting this way!) I'm not sure who was more excited each time a new kid won....that kid or us adults! ;)

Finally, she won!!!

(Now, on to the next game please!)

Hannah has been really into Peace stuff this year, so when we found this, it was perfect for her!
My little Tinker Bell... oh how excited she was to wear wings!

Hayes wanted to wear the Scream mask (with the blood effects) last year, so I caved this year and let him....

Josh & Tyler- oh so scared!!!

(check out the blood)

Kamryn wasn't too crazy about her fuzzy warm butterfly costume(of course, we didn't know it was going to be 65 degrees either), but once she discovered the candy she forgot all about it!
Check out the concentration... one roll of Smarties will last her 20mins! LOL! Too cute...

Just another reason I love our neighborhood- every year we have a whole group to go door to door with. This year, we went with the Barlow's-

Makena with the Ford girls-

The best carved pumpkin we've ever seen!

Makena & Dylan (aka: Incredible Hulk)

SMORES-

Matt bought a firepit this year and the kids loved making smores the good old fashion way!

Two peas in a pod-

Jackson & Kamryn have hit if off so well since they've made the move to AR...every time we talk about Jackson, Kamryn's face lights up and she has such a great time playing with him. We are so glad they get to grow up together!

Cutie patootie, Jackson-

And my sweetie, Kami-

Kamryn & Jackson are just 3 weeks apart in age...

I love this picture-
