Night by the fire

The weather has been gorgeous this week! We decided to have a fire pit on Friday night. We had hot dogs and s'mores, of course! Since we had some Reese Peanut Butter Cups from Halloween, we decided to up our s'mores game! :) Well, Morgan stuck to the traditional Hershey's chocolate. Avery and I used peanut butter cups for our "chocolate"... it was delicious!

So messy!

Visit to the eye doctor

The girls and Matt had their eyes tested last weekend. Morgan had failed the eye test at the pediatrician at her 8 year old check up, so I thought for sure she'd need glasses. But, turns out the girls and Matt all have good eyes and don't need glasses right now. Considering I am practically blind, I'm jealous!

The girls were really disappointed about not getting glasses (I told them they really shouldn't be!). I had been thinking about getting those blue light glasses, so I ordered some of those for them to have some "glasses" to wear. They love them! Not sure if they really help, but can't hurt!

 

Creative ways to trick or treat

I grabbed a few of these pics from FB because I want to remember how people adapted to the situation and made the best of it!

 

Halloween!

This year we decided to forgo the trick-or-treating and just get together with the cousins for a party. Aunt Erin did such a great job making the kids forget they weren't outside trick-or-treating! She had games, a scavenger hunt, pumpkins to paint, crafts, fun foods and goodies and SO MUCH CANDY! The girls had so much fun... I really hope they don't expect this every year! :)

Getting the unicorn hair ready!

Matt's costume came together at the last minute and was perfect!

Superfan!

Morgan put on Grayson's Pennywise mask - scary!

Calvin was so cute as Rubble!

Erin had so many fun games for the kiddos to play!

And some fun crafts!

Morgan and Papa!

They found the prize!

Morgan got the soccer Barbie she wanted (Alex Morgan doll)!

Avery helped make "mummy dogs" for dinner!

The kids all ready for the trick-or-treating (around the house).

So much candy - everyone got a good haul to bring home!

Erin had little pumpkins for the kids to paint.

And some big ones for Papa to carve. They wanted him to use the drill. If you see in this picture, poor Calvin has the worst spot, all the stuff was spraying in his face and he was trying to take cover! :)

And just for fun... here I am wearing Ross' Fred Flintstone hat!

Just thought this was funny...

Halloween at school

There may not be any parties this year or a big Halloween parade, but the girls still got to dress up in costumes for school on Friday! Morgan picked her Belle costume (the one we got for the Disney trip that never was) and Avery decided to recycle her Jasmine costume from last year.

Voted!

Erin and I voted early!
