lions, cheetahs, & ...well we only have two this year!

A little Halloween in January anyone?
Halloween is a mixed bag of emotions for me, let's just say I'm always super stressed right up until the second the night starts and when I finally get a glimpse of my sweet boys all dressed up my mommy heart swells up with immense joy & love!  I've loved dressing the boys up each year, but this was the first year Mason had a request, so we went with it!  And the one thing I learned is to go with your kids desires for Halloween dress up choices, their fulfilled smile is priceless!  I even got to join in and make Mason's costume using my first pattern (with lots of help from my mom) but it turned out great!

We started off the festivities with a Preschool Halloween Party
Miss Jodi & Mason 


The Welty's & Myers' invited us to a fun Trunk or Treat at Kyle's school that they were hosting a trunk at



Trick or Treating in Grammy & Peepa's neighborhood

Our Safari Family

Trick or Treating in the Gerry's neighborhood
Gigi, Mason, & Kayla

Ethan & Cole
the little guys were kept happy in strollers with mouths full of lollipops

yes, I did see this outfit before we left the house & I still love him...he's got legs!!!

The kiddos ended the night with a slumber party style movie night in Gigi's room

Happy LATE Halloween
...now I feel like a pumpkin shaped Reese's Peanut butter Cup...which sadly is probably still in a bag hidden in the back of our pantry!
