It's Halloween!!!

We had a blast tonight!! The weather was perfect, the food was good and the company was even better! We went to Mom's house for some chili, barbecue and other treats. Then headed out for some Trick-or-Treating. The kids were so excited and did a great job collecting candy and using their manners (lots of thank you's). We adults got some good exercise and some wonderful fall air. Thanks to everybody for cooking, the goodies and a great family night!! P.S. there were so many good pictures I had a hard time picking and choosing---this is a big post!

The infamous "Larry Boy"

Maddie loves her witch costume (she has worn it several times before tonight around the house)

Ahhh....they always get along when there's candy involved!

I could squeeze "Tigger" to jelly!!!

Papa helped Maddie collecting candy. I said, "Maddie do you like it when Papa helps you Trick-or-Treat? " She said, "Yeah....I like the candy." Out of the mouths of babes.

Mom and her chauffeur

I couldn't stop squeezing her!

Aunt Linda, Stacy and Aunt Shirley joined the fun. We were soo glad they were there!

Sydney did Jill's makeup.....good job!!

"Tigger" laughing at Uncle Victor

Oh my gosh. Can you see why I couldn't put her down?

Little Goblins

Mamo's and their babies!

Happy Birthday D!!! (What's in THAT bag?)

Stacy making Maddie and Abigail laugh!

Pumpkin tooshy!!

Sydney was the Joker from the newest Batman movie. She's a dead ringer!....pardon the pun.

Happy Halloween!!

It's our first Halloween in our new house! Daddy kept the tradition of pumpkin carving going by making some unique pumpkins! Mamo Christy stopped by after arriving from Florida to check it all out. The kids were sooo excited and can't wait to dress up for the big night. Maddie was so excited she said, "Holy 'Macenroe'!" Not sure where she got that one but it's cute! Take a look below at a couple of picture of the house. I'll have more later once we get some more stuff on the walls! Happy Halloween!!

What a great Daddy!

Maddie was really taken with the process.

"Larry Boy" hamming it up!

"The lighting ceremony" 2 happy kids (#3 was in bed already)

The finished product!

Go Irish!!!

Good job Daddy!!

We love to light a "camp fire" as the kids call it!

I hate that this one is blurry. Maddie loves her new baby doll from Mamo and she was taking good care of it---medicine and all!

The Veggie Tales stickers arrived!!!

Larry Boy and Daddy (while Victor was hanging them, Little Victor said, "Daddy, you are the most awesome Daddy in the world!")

All tuckered out with Daddy

I'll cherish this one.

Long time no see!!!

Well it's been a while since we've made a post. We have been in painting (Oakmont) and packing (Elm) mode. Jobs I do not wish to repeat any time soon. I wanted to take some pictures of the kids in their rooms before I packed everything. So they're below. I also included some various pics of things we've done lately. Hope to post again soon---maybe pics of a new house!!! Maybelline has nothing on those eyelashes! Just thought this was cute....check out the shoes! Victor loves playing outside. Luckily we'll be able to do that without the fear of traffic!---Soon! Self portrait of Nana and I. (Miss, I need some lessons....obviously) I love my big brother! Jess and Eric were so thoughtful and gave the kids some Halloween treats and gifts. Maddie loves her crown---it has a web pattern and a spider! Check out the "shoe" and the "play purse". I should probably just apply for a Macy's credit card now. I know I'm in trouble in the teen years.
