Disney Halloween

Our friend Kristen came into town on Thursday Oct 27. She wanted to go to Disneys Halloween Party so we decided we would go with her. We got to Disneyland around 5:30ish and left around 9. We trick or treated, went on a few rides, and looked at all the costumes. Our favorite ride, "It's A Small World", was closed for renovation for the holiday show so the kids were really sad. I wanted to take pictures early but Mike wanted to wait until later which meant we didn't get any pictures. I hurried a took one of each of the kids as we were leaving. The whole family dressed up like characters from Peter Pan. Mike was Smee, I was Wendy, and then the kids were as follows:

Mr. Michael the Alligator

Peter Pan, Anthony

Captain Hook, Jakob

Tinkerbell, Jaileigh

Baby Tinkerbell, Annie

Hair Cuts!

Every 4-6 weeks the boys have to get their ears lowered. Rather than pay crazy amounts of money to someone, I just do it. Hopefully the boys don't care for a long time. I know there will be a day when moms hair cuts won't be cool and I'll have to turn over the scissors to someone else.

Jake pre-hair cut

Anthony post-hair cut

I have the hardest time cutting his hair. He has so much of it.

Jaileigh wanted hers cut too so we trimmed the ends for her.

Playing Checkers

We went to breakfast at Cracker Barrel. While we were browsing the store,  Grandpa Pops took Anthony and Jake outside to teach them how to play checkers.

Go Flyers!

My brother is helping coach the Dixie Flyers and we were lucky enough to be able to attend his last game of the season. He brought each of the kids a Dixie Flyer shirt to wear.

Andy's babies Major and Legend got to hang out with us too.

Gama and Pops had all 7 grandkids together, so fun!

Baby Legend- that is what my kids call him.

During the game someone threw a cigarette out the car window and started a fire near the stadium. It caught an electrical pole and fire and blew the transformer. The lights went out. This was probably one of the scarier moments in my life, trying to find all my kids.  It was pitch black and people were panicking. Thank goodness my kids usually stay close to me. Once we were sure we had all 7 kids we went home. They were able to get the lights back on to finish the game. While the lights were out someone stole our princess ball :(
