Halloween

H - A - double L - O - W - double E - N spells halloween!

This was Quinton's first year dressing up.
Last year he might have enjoyed it but Rex and Myla were still so little so we just handed out candy. This year he definitely embraced the holiday. Dan picked out a very simple but cute costume. A cowboy hat and a holster with some guns. I threw on a jean jacket and some cute jeans and we had our costume!

The cutest cowboy I've ever seen!

We attended a costume party on Friday night with a lot of kids. There was a lot of dancing and cute costumes. Here are some pictures of some of the cute kids all dressed up...

Saturday night was "beggers night" in Des Moines, a strange thing for me considering in Minnesota we went trick or treating on Halloween but here in Iowa they go the night before, strange Iowans. We joined up with some of our old neighbors to go get some candy. We enjoyed pizza and then headed out. My babies were not dressed up but enjoyed a sucker in the wagon and Quinton enjoyed getting candy. He got A LOT of candy, which is funny because we don't really eat it here. He was fascinated with the whole idea of going to people's houses for candy.

The whole gang.

We attempted playdough yesterday with all three of them. Very little was put in the mouth, buts lots of it ended up on my floor. I decided to bring in our little picnic table from outside to play on in our kitchen. A good indoor activity, I'm sure playdough will get a lot more use as the snow comes.

After playdough Quinn tackled Myla. She thinks it is funny and he likes to "get her." About two weeks ago Dan called Myla a "tough cookie" ever since then Quinn calls her our "little cookie Myla." It is so cute! He will tell me that our "little cookie" is crying or awake or needs my help. A fun little nickname for our "tough little cookie!"

A successful and fun weekend! Next year I will have to get creative having to come up with three costumes!
