Halloween 2021


We had another fun Halloween this year. Each year gets easier and more fun. The kids unintentionally all chose super hero costumes this year. They each represent their personality perfectly. 

On the Wednesday before Halloween, the kids had a trunk or treat at Awanas. They always come home with so much candy from that special night. 

The day before Halloween, our gymnastics gym hosted a Halloween obstacle course at the gym. The kids ran, jumped, swung, and flipped for candy. 
They also got to have their faces painted before we left. 


Saturday after the gymnastics party, the Millers came over to watch the OSU game with us. The neighbors came over to play for a little bit too. The girls rehearsed and showed us a cute OSU cheer. 


We've had the same tradition for the last several years to spend Halloween with the Shondelmyers. It's a favorite tradition. We snapped some pictures of the kids in their costumes before we drove over to their house. 








I can't get over that Katherine chose a Power Ranger costume, but then carried her teddy bear with her the whole night while she was trick or treating. She's a well rounded girl- tough and nurturing. 





We ate chili and hot dogs before heading out to trick or treat. 

We get a group picture every year. And every year, we talk about how much easier trick or treating is than the years when we had toddlers and babies, and we had to send Corey to come pick us up halfway through the neighborhood because the kids were too tired to walk home. 

There was a milestone this year with our big boys. We gave Wyatt and Nathan permission to go trick or treating on their own without adult supervision (or little siblings). They showed a lot of responsibility and had a great time with their new independence. I can't believe how fast they're growing up. Before long, the adults are going to be sitting at home handing out candy while all the kids go off on their own. 

We moms might have as much fun as the kids. 






When everyone got tired and cold, and their buckets were overflowing we headed back to eat candy and play before calling it a night. 


 Such a fun night!
