Halloween!

 It was actually really nice to be off track during Halloween.  We didn't have to worry about the kids being crabby at the school the next day and we were able to do a lot of activities.  Monday the 28th we met Oma and Opa at the  Traverse Mountain Outlets for dinner, then we went to a craft/story time event.  The lady was a professional storyteller and she was awesome!  We were laughing so hard.  We listened to stories for 45 minutes before doing the craft.  The kids decorated foam masks.  Then we went back to Oma and Opa's for movies and hot chocolate.  It was a lot of fun and nice to spend the evening with them.

Halloween day things started early here.  We headed back out to Traverse Mountain to trick or treat at the mall.  The stores gave out candy and we had a card that needed stamped by 8 different stores and then we can trade in the card for a $10 gift card.  Opa and Oma met us there.  They looked amazing in their full costumes!

This year Brinnley chose to be a soccer player.  The girl still fits in her soccer uniform from when she was 5, so that's what she wore.  She let me try out a new hairstyle that I found on You Tube.  It looked so cute!

 Ainsley was a Karate Kid and she was ready to go!
 And Porter was Superman who wore a mask.  (This is the mask we made a craft night.)  SO funny, but he wouldn't take it off.



 See, they went all out and looked awesome!  The mall was a great idea.  It was so quick to run from store to store.  By the time we finished at the mall the bottom of their bags was full.

So fun! Your kids look great. It is nice that so many places to trick or treating now, especially if you don't want to go door to door in the dark.
