Trunk or Treat!

We attended our church's trunk or treat last night (Fri). We were late, of course. We missed the dinner program but made it just in time for the trunk or treating. The kids were a little overwhelmed with the all the costumes but were so excited to see all their friends, especially Bill and Gina. We went as a "Zoo". We had the lion costume from our wizard of oz theme last year so I just had to find 4 more costumes. This is what they were supposed to be- Jake-monkey, Anthony-tiger, Michael-lion, Jaileigh-giraffe, Annie-elephant. From the pictures below you can see that the kids had their own agenda.

Bill and Gina brought do-do's (doughnuts) just for the kids. Here is Anthony trying to get his open. He is my sweets kid so had the time of his life eating candy after. He decided that he was going to be the monkey. All of the kids wanted to be the monkey. We should have just been the monkeys jumping on the bed : )

Michael ended up being the lion, after I tackled him and forced him to.

Jake eating his sucker. He ended up being the tiger.

Jaileigh, jaileigh, jaileigh. . . what can I say! She refused to put on any of the costumes, she refused to wear normal shoes, and I was not going to battle with her. She won tonight.

Annie didn't last. Trunk or Treat was way past her bedtime. She did wear her elephant costume. So cute!

The crazy animals- Jaileigh, Jakob, Michael, and Anthony

 

Dana or Danee as the kids call her, helping Jaileigh with her doughnuts.

"Hey guys, look who I get to sit next to!" Anthony yells to the rest of his siblings. He loves Gina! She is his girlfriend.

Eating the candy! I should win mother of the year award for letting my kids eat candy before bed.

Hope your Halloween activities are spooktacular!

*Come Out And Play*

Two of our NICU nurses came over to play yesterday. I think that they were amazed at how big the kiddos are now. Jessica even commented how big Jaileigh's feet are (Jaileigh can still wear newborn shoes and clothes). It made me think back to how small they used to be. We have come a loooooooong way since last year. Even since Christmas the babies have changed so much. It makes it even more important to cherish every moment. I love spending my days with me babies. I love it! There isn't anything in the world that I would rather be doing.



Jessica and Jakob. She was there the day/night that he was born.

Jessica and Jaileigh talking "girl talk". I think she is really introducing Jaileigh to the telephone.

Our friend Dana brought over a box to play with. She actually does most of our shopping and had just brought over our Costco supplies. The babies loved this box.
