Happy Halloween!

We had some very fun Halloween activities this last week. We had to miss one party due to Jules being sick, but she was better in time for Halloween itself.

First up was our Meetup Mom's group Halloween party. It was at a church and the kids met a monkey there that they had fun playing with. Ready..GO!
Then the other day we took the kids to Boo at the Zoo.
This was the only occasion that Sam would let us put up his hood. In case you can't tell, he is a St. Bernard and the girls are pink poodles. They got a kick out of being doggies!

Then Thursday we had gymnastics and all the kids wore their costumes. Our coach, Miss Lauren (who is awesome and SO good with the kids) was even dressed up like a dinosaur.
Here's Sophie hanging...
And Sam on the trampolines..
Then came Halloween. The kids got their first hardened balls of high fructose corn syrup suckers!


The kids didn't get to bed until 10:30!!! They were exhausted as you can see:

Oh and did you notice how much space we have there in the ol' backseat? Yes the van. The van is my most favorite purchase. Ever.
