Halloween

We were glad to have Tristan home for Halloween.  We started out the day with a few fun plans, but ended up having a jam-packed day!

I got some special cereal for breakfast to have with some "ghost bananas".

 That's one happy boy over that chocolate cereal!

 Allisha and I had been trying to coordinate a get together so I could meet little Cody (born a couple of weeks after Ashton).  Halloween ended up being a good day, so we had the boys over.  They played, watched a Halloween movie and joined us for our traditional Halloween lunch--mummy dogs!

 Allisha and I got some time to visit and play with the babies while the boys were busy playing.

 Ethan had preschool that afternoon and afterward we headed over to my parents' house to go trick-or-treating.  We didn't stay long (and shamefully didn't take any pictures) because we had been invited to the Madill's to have pizza.  We headed over to their house and had fun visiting and eating and we got a quick family shot while we were there.  The boys chose matching army costumes, so we decided to get in on the fun as a family.

 After pizza we headed over to the church for the annual trunk-or-treat.  Standing at attention while they waited for the signal to go get that candy!

 I love how they are grinning at their dad and brother in this one!

After trunk-or-treating we headed over to the Nelson's house for some hot scones fresh out of their garage.  They are so nice to do it for all of the trick-or-treaters that come through their neighborhood.  They are super yummy and we got to visit with some of our favorite people.  Finally, we were off to Tristan's mom's house to do some trick-or-treating there.  She had lots of fun snacks waiting for them (again, no pictures...).  After our visit we were all pretty wiped out from all of the fun so we headed home for bed.  It was a great day and the boys talked about Halloween for days afterward!
