Happy Halloween

We packed a lot of Halloween fun into this past week. First the boys and I made Halloween cookies with Carol for FHE. Next we drove to Olympia for Grandma Kathy to craft TJ's one of a kind all leather cowboy costume. We drove back in time Wednesday to change into our costumes and head straight for the Trunk-or-treat at the church (Carol came along to help me with the boys since Trevor was out of town). Thursday morning we celebrated in our costumes at preschool. And finally Friday night we carved pumpkins, went trick-or-treating and handed out candy. I'm pooped. The boys collected more candy this week than they've collected in their whole lives:) Got to love Halloween. My kids bring magic back into the holidays. I feel again the excitement I felt when I was little.

There are pictures and video of this Halloween and last Halloween. It's always fun for me to go back and see how much the boys change in just one year. Plus I didn't blog back then so not many people have seen the older video of TJ and Russell.
