All Hallow's Eve

 It is no secret that I am not a huge fan of Halloween.  I just can't figure out what it is that we are celebrating.  I get the whole historical significance of this day that comes before All Saint's Day, but it is blown waaaay out of proportion in my opinion.

Luckily for my kids, their Grandma's are much more festive than me. 

 The kids look forward to Grandma JoAnn's Annual Halloween Party every year.  Even though my little goblins are really the only ones young enough that live close enough to really get in on the fun, Grandma still goes all out.

All the kids and Grandma get in costume before we go to Grandma's Haunted House for spooky games and witchy food.  

 This year we carved pumpkins with our friends the Noll's.  Levi's choice to get the biggest pumpkin he could find at the Big Red Barn ended up being a beast to gut.

 No power tools or fancy patterns for us...just old school Jack-O-Lanterns carved by kids.  That's the way we like it.

 The kids got to wear their costumes to school.

 Titus and I went up to watch the School Halloween Parade.

 Isaac walked through the parade with his best friends Macy and Raelee.

 And Daisy was cracking us up.

 Soon after the kids got home from school it was time for Trick-or-Treating.

 When we went to visit my parents at the beginning of the month, my mom took all the kids shopping and bought them whatever Halloween gear they wanted. They were in heaven...and I was so thankful.

 This guy LOVED his Superman costume...and still asks to wear it.

 I don't know what these two would do without each other...or what I would do without them.

 Isaac morphed from Captain America at school in to a Monkey for Trick-or-Treating.

 I love that we can go trick-or-treating around our neighborhood just like I did when I was a kid. 

 Titus is oh-so-super.

 Happy Halloween from the Circus.
