Jackson and Catie decided to dress up as Flash and Flash Girl for Halloween this year. They ran around the house "super fast" all day. We were disappointed when Monday morning came around and the kids went back to their "super slow" routine of getting ready for school.
Abby looked so cute in her Super Girl costume. Unfortunately, she only spent about five minutes in the outfit before tearing it off.
The Wilson's invited us over for Luke and Landon's annual pre-Trick or Treat pizza party. Maybe someday we will have people over....
Many of our neighbors put up some elaborate decorations that make the night quite memorable for the kids. It is amazing how much candy the children collect from only 26 houses.
Who is the greatest super hero... Scooby Doo!
Abby and Jackson sharing a sleeping bag before bedtime. Abby likes to run around giving everyone goodnight hugs before bed, but she loves to wake up Jackson every morning by jumping on him relentlessly.
Catie is approving of her old outfit.
All dressed up and no place to go...
Jackson invited his friends to celebrate his birthday at a local indoor pool that has a lazy river, huge water slide, and other play stuff.
Surprise! Bella and Catie hanging out and acting silly at the party.
The theme of the party was Star Wars, of course, so we had our local cake person make this Darth Vader and Stormtrooper cake for the occasion. It weighed 40 lbs and was too big for a box! We have been snacking on the left over cake for two days straight and have not even made a dent. We decided to give away a bunch of cake to a few neighbors so they would think that we were good neighbors, but actually it was just an attempt to get rid of this thing!
Stiv accidentally bought the "trick" birthday candles that keep relighting after they are blown out. We had a good laugh and the kids thought is was just hilarious... Below, Abby's vocabulary has expanded to "Boo."
