Halloween 2015

We had SUCH a fun Halloween this year with our girls. Zoe and Nora in particular were super pumped about all of it. We checked the mail box for "Daniel tiger" and the "alligator hat" for weeks leading up to the big day. We also just enjoyed all things Halloween in our neighborhood this month. One of our neighbors had a big inflatable cat and another a giant pumpkin that somehow was named "pumpkin boy". The girls would wait on pins and needles all day asking "mommy did the sun go down!?" "Is the cat and pumpkin boy up!?" Bless them. We've had such a hard time getting out and about the past couple months, they were probably just bored. 

Sena followed the big girls through it all, soaking it all up. She's such a trooper and such a sweet little third child. 

Halloween festivities started with the big girls school party Thursday, church trunk or treating Friday and trick or treating Saturday. The sugar overload was incredible. Nora was up until midnight Saturday just laughing alone in her bed and making crazy sounds. It was pretty funny. But man, three kids under three running crazy with candy!? Who has time to monitor. We chose to just suffer the consequences later which weren't as hard since lance was home to help me greet the overtired, messed up with the time change little monster come Sunday morning bright and early. 

As I watched Sena flow happily through this weekend it really was just so surreal that she is here. Home. Trick or treating like she's been with us forever. Wow. 
Sleepy heads before Mother's Day out (aka my key to sanity twice a week!) 
Aunt Betho and uncle Cody took the girls to the Toyota center to trick or treat in the suites. This picture says it all! I think 4 kids on 2 adults was a biiiit of a challenge with the monster crowds. Thank goodness I didn't come along with Sena like I had planned!!

Beaming with pride. Oh to be an innocent two year old and feel so beautiful and awesome dressed as a tiger and alligator. I'll enjoy these years while they last. One day I'll have three 16 year olds getting ready for Halloween. I shudder to imagine.

So much fun it is to be 2! 
Serious about this. 
By Sunday this was us. Messy hair, no clothes and more playing in the rain! Love them and let's be honest, I LOVE that the crazy candy fest was over. But great memories and fun were had by all! 

The girls asked me today when the next party was. I told them unfortunately not for a few more weeks, but soon we get to have a turkey party. They love a good shindig!
