Happy Halloween!!!

I have always loved Halloween! Some of my favorite pics over the years are from Halloween. This year, Mackenzie wanted to be a black cat, which really surprised me since that's what Madison was last year, but it was easy so we went with it! Madison had lots of ideas, but once she saw this puppy costume, her mind was made up! And Jonah was set on Batman! I had to make three Wal-Mart trips before I found the right size. 
Halloween fell on a Monday night, and it was actually the night before we closed on our house in Edmond! We did a lot of driving on this day, because shortly after I made it home from school with the girls, we loaded up and drove back to Edmond. We saw that FBC Edmond was having a Trunk or Treat, so we decided to go there for a while. It was fun, but there were a LOT of people so we didn't stay for too long. That is a church we are definitely planning to visit once we get settled into our house. Afterwards, we thought it would be fun to drive to our new neighborhood and trick or treat a little bit. I am SO GLAD we did that! What a perfect opportunity to meet some of our neighbors! We met the family that lives behind us and they have three kids around our kids ages. We also met a very sweet couple that lives across the street from us. Standing in the yard and looking at the house that would be ours the very next day was so exciting! On our way back to Newcastle, we met Grandma & Grandpa Baldwin in the parking lot at Braums so they could see the kids' costumes. It was a very fun way to spend Halloween and we were all extremely tired by the time we made it back to G-Ma's house.
Jonah was not exactly in the best of moods at the Trunk or Treat. 
Here we are in front of "OUR" house! 
I was excited to see that there were lots and lots of houses ready for Trick or Treaters in our neighborhood!
One more pic on the swing in our yard...I'm glad the homeowners didn't come home while we were there! Hehe!

WHBC Trunk or Treat



On Sunday night, we went to the Woodland Hills Trunk or Treat and had so much fun! The kids got a ton of candy and it was great to see so many friends from G-Ma's church! Brian wasn't feeling well, so he stayed at the house. Mackenzie spent the majority of her time trying to win the cake walk...not even joking, I bet she tried 40+ times before FINALLY winning at the very end of the night. I even enlisted G-Ma, Jonah, Poppa and myself to walk with her, because I thought SURELY one of us would win! And it still took forever. But hey, she was the happy prize winner of a baggie of smashed, blue cupcakes that I'm pretty sure she never even ate! These costumes were thrown together at the last minute, but they loved them and they looked adorable. There were so many cute trunks decorated but I think G-Ma's was the best! She and Sharon had a Hawaiian themed trunk. So fun! 
I mean, honestly...have you EVER seen such a cute puppy?! I can't stand it! Her faces crack me up!
This is his "mean" Batman look.
Jonah had a lot of fun with Blake, and it was so cute that they were dressed as Batman & Robin.
Jennifer's costume was AMAZING! LOL!
This was my other favorite trunk! 
Not even kidding...I think Jonah had 30 blue Dum-Dums by the end of the night! LOL! Why couldn't he have gone for the Reeses instead?!
Emma's cake costume was adorable too! 
The left-handed golfers!
I definitely ended up with the most pics of Jonah, because the girls were off on their own part of the time. 
The good ol' cake walk! I should have just gone and bribed Mike with some cookies or something if he would just call Mackenzie's number! 
Smiling...
But this is how we really feel about this whole cake walk losing over and over thing...
FINALLY!!!!! 
(See?! Blue smashed cupcakes!)
