Remember Halloween? Yeah, we did that too...

We really enjoyed our long beautiful fall. The fall weather this year was stunning. We were so grateful to not need snow boots and down coats for trick'or'treating. (I have many memories of those kinds of Halloweens when I was a kid...)
We had a fun Halloween. Olivia and I did the Trick or Treat at the library, which was not too impressive for Olivia anymore. The Friday before the kids' school put on an amazing carnival. It was craziness- the kind kids just LOVE.
Saturday was a fun Trunk'or'Treat and some old school door to door trick'or'treating.
It wasn't Katie's best Halloween. She was still gimpy with the kneecap dislocation and couldn't really keep up at the carnival and was sore and slow trick'or'treating and so called it good early. She is getting so big, she doesn't have much trick'or'treat time left!
Here's our crew...

{Little Red Riding Hood}


{Black Cat}



{White Bunny Rabbit}

Part of the carnival at the school was a cake decorating contest/fundraiser/auction.
We bought a cake in the auction.
Every year we have a perfect place to take some spooky food. My parents throw a big Halloween themed dinner party. It's a super fun tradition that the kids look forward to every year. This year we were going to have the coolest cake to bring.
Then, the dinner party got canceled!
My parents were over scheduled and sick and it just wouldn't have worked.
So no one got to see our beautiful cake.
Don't worry, we took pictures.
See how cute?
