Halloween x2!

This year the kids got to celebrate Halloween TWICE. The first time was on Halloween day (Oct 31st) and the second time during their cousin's birthday party where the town they lived in did trick-or-treating that Saturday instead of on Halloween due to Hurricane Sandy.


Here are non-Halloween pics first:

 Both climbing up on the step-stool. 

She likes to look through books now. 

Such a lady, always crossing her feet

And now.... a big collection of Halloween pics!

 Helping taking out the pumpkin guts...

 Which didn't last long because it was "yucky"

 Rose watching, skeptically  

 Playing with the seeds

Final product

We had one big one, which Matt carved. Then we had five smaller ones from when we went to the pumpkin patch. I let Isaac cover two of them in Halloween stickers and then he and Rose each painted one. It was messy and fun :)

 

Proud of her work

 All pumpkins ready to be set out

I actually decorated... this is the most we've ever done haha

Now with the pumpkins added  

Rose, trying on her Milli dress (she was Milly from Team Umizoomi)

Isaac in his Geo costume (from Team Umizoomi)

 Final costume...wouldn't keep the hat on, of course

 Milli and Geo from Team Umizoomi!

These are who they are dressed up as

 This was how most of our pictures came out....wiggle worms!

 Isaac's candy stash! (Rose stayed home with daddy)

The second time they went Trick or treating was at Zack's 7th birthday party. Rose was supposed to go with everyone in the stroller but passed out right before leaving, so she stayed home with Kara's mom (Zack's grandma)

 Our gift to Zack :) plus $$

 Signing Happy Birthday. The cake was made by Katie :)

Isaac and some of his cousins getting ready to Trick or Treat

Ready to go! He had on about 4 layers of clothes haha. It was cold!

Some of the other kids who were with us. We had 20 kids ages 7 and under.

Running to the first house

 The ambulance put their lights on, ran the sirens, talked on the speaker, and handed out candy!

 More kids!

 Fun times

 That's about it! It was a blast being able to trick or treat with all the kids!

Weekend in PA

This past weekend, we went to PA to celebrate Deb and Joe's 25th Wedding anniversary. The dinner was on Saturday with all the siblings and their families, which they knew about, but what they DIDN'T know was that a whole bunch of people were coming after dinner to celebrate. I think there was over 50 people there at one time. It was lots of fun :)

Saturday during the day was spent having some water fun with all the kids. Isaac, of course, had a blast!

 Playing in the big pool with the other kids and some uncles. 

 In his swim outfit.

 He liked the kiddie pool because no one had to hold 

him the whole time and he could do whatever he wanted.

 Isaac and Jimmy sharing a bag of Cheetos. 

A few pictures of "before" Isaac's hair cut. 

(which, by the way, wasn't very successful as he 

cried almost the time and fought Grandma)

 After his haircut.. which didn't turn out 

too bad, considering it's only half done.

 Playing with rocks 

 Playing with Jimmy and Madison. 

 Playing on the Plasma Car

 Testing out Jimmy's tricycle. Still a bit too small for one.

 Up way past his bedtime, playing outside in his PJ's. 

 "What?"

He liked the pretzels 

That's all the pictures I have from that night. Sunday we left back to Maryland and Deb came back with us since Isaac's daycare was going to be closed Monday and Tuesday. One of the evenings that it wasn't raining, we went outside to play only to find his pool halfway filled with (rain) water. Of course Isaac cannot pass up this opportunity for some pool time, so in he went (we just stripped him naked and let him go since it was so warm out still). 

That's all there is for this week :) We're actually going to be home this weekend and having some friends over Saturday evening.

Pregnancy #2 Update~
As for me and my pregnancy, thing's are going well (aside for some random stomach issues happening, which I may need to bring up to my OB if things don't get better ). I am 22 weeks as of yesterday so below is my updated belly picture
