HALLOWEEN!
we had a great (but suuuper busy) halloween season this year. nothing like a ward trunk or treat to get things started. and it didnt rain. so that was a plus.
pumpkins on the porch.
donut party invitations!

its so scary to make the donuts each year. the yeast, the 5 billion times they have to rise, rolling out the dough, cutting each donut out by hand. its a lot. but so worth it. 

craig's contribution each year is his amazing pumpkin ghosts. they are the best. 
spooky mudroom. 
the calm before the storm.
tess enjoyed the donuts. 
she couldnt get enough.
i cant blame her though. they really are so yummy. theres a reason we only make them once a year...... :)
the striped gang. 
the actual day of halloween was INSANE. dont ask me why but i signed up to chaperone sully's pumpkin patch field trip. it wouldnt have been thaaaat bad if it hadnt POURED the entire time, i had to bring tess and i slipped and fell in the mud while carrying her. so yeah. glad sully had a smile! 
the minute i got back from the pumpkin patch and changed out of my muddy clothes i had to go right back to the school because im the room mom and was in charge of the halloween party. holy crap.
after a relaxing afternoon (we allllll needed it) the kids got their costumes on and we headed out for some trick of treating. i was very proud of that freaking vending machine i made. what tagg wants, tagg gets. except next year he is wearing a store bought costume. 
tess had practiced her "trick or treat" and had so much fun running up to each door with her brothers. it was so dang cute. 
HAPPY HALLOWEEN 2016!
