Yes, this is part FOUR of our Halloween week. You might want to start at the bottom and build up to this ending!

So, I'm finally making it to the Halloween Day update! And, today was so much fun! Although "Little Bit Jacobs" caused some problems this morning and made me have to stay home from half of my plans, I did get some unexpected rest that I probably needed. And, the good thing was that Grandma Cheri came in town earlier this week, and kept the girls for the day while me and baby Jacobs chilled out at home.

Then tonight, we had a fun Halloween night with our friends, the Morelands. We had our traditional "breakfast for dinner" on Halloween (Really, it was a tradition that we just started last year, and one that I had completely forgotten about until little Miss Kendyll reminded me! She even remembered everything we ate last year!) After pumpkin and ghost pancakes, and a whole bunch of other breakfast foods, we got our costumes ready and headed out for some treats. It was so cute to watch the four kiddos trick-or-treat together! It was so much more fun than when we go alone! Kendyll and Hollyn could not contain their excitement and squealed, jumped, and ran from house to house, chattering away to each other. A couple of times, we had to remind them to stay with us because they were so excited! They even rang the doorbell to a house with NO outside lights on because they got so far ahead of us.

Noah and Carlie enjoyed themselves for about one street. Then, they were done. They just couldn't understand why we were getting all of these yummy treats, but not eating any of them. So, they were happiest when we arrived home, dumped the loot, and got to break into some of the candy.

Carlie and Kendyll didn't freeze like I thought they would, even in our cold temperatures and their short sleeved leotards! I think they were too busy to freeze! And, Noah and Hollyn looked adorable in their Jasmine and Diego costumes (which were warmer than ours!). We decided tonight that the Halloween night with the Morelands needs to be a tradition too! Thank you, Matt and Sara, for driving the distance this year....we'll do the driving next year! Hey, at least it's not five hours like it used to be!!

Happy Halloween, everyone. I hope you all got lots of good treats and good pictures of the kiddos...because I will be doing lots of blog-reading in the morning to see all those cuties!

Carlie's "updo" ballerina hair. She thought she was so beautiful (and she was!) And, then, she started acting crazy and tore half of it down.
