HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Will was a Sith from Star Wars (whatever a Sith is?)

Harry was a Jedi (I think he was that last year too but for some reason he needed a new costume and light saber).  I have never seen a Star Wars movie but all the boys in our family are obsessed. They wanted Kate to be YODA! (Mark and Angela if you are still reading...what did you think they would be this year? I got a kick out of the fact you guessed pirates last year.)

Kate turns from fairy princess to a Jedi too! (Really she just stole Harry's light saber).

"Alright people, let's go get some candy.  I am done taking pictures and playing with light sabers."

We could not find our Halloween things amongst the boxes, so Kate carried this adorable monogrammed bag my friend Julie Anne gave her for her birthday.  (It is monogrammed in green on the other side.)DSC_0063
The loot!

Oh my goodness, would you look at all of this candy!

"I love trick or treat."
Kate kept saying that all night long!

We had a great Halloween.  It started off a little tough but ended up great!  Kate threw a fit and would not wear the tights that match her costume.  Then even though she asked to put it on ALL day, she did not want to get into her costume. As two year olds do, she quickly changed her mind and was happy 2 minutes later.  She fell a few times though.  The left side of her face is red in some of the photos. Oh and mosquitos bit the right side!!

I took the 3 peanuts trick or treating while Dave gave out candy.  We met tons of neighbors and found out there are several boys Harry's age close by.  Kate made some neighbor friends too. Before tonight, we had not met any of our neighbors.
Kate LOVED trick or treating.  She really got into it.  She said trick or treat at every house and thank you.  Then she wanted to sample each piece of candy. The girl is very social!

I brought the kids home and the plan was to put Kate to bed and Dave would take the boys for a little more trick or treating but Kate was having SO much fun, she tagged along! 

Oh and some of you might remember last year's saga regarding the "Halloween witch."  Well, in spite of last year, both boys are making piles and hoping she shows up.

  3. Such adorable trick or treaters! I love that Will...geez he's a cutie, as are Harry and Kate. Paige would be gaga over your Sith : )

  5. These pictures are SO cute! I love them. It looks as though you really live there now. I am happy to see that. And about your closets (you will probably get comments on that post forever)... not only do I want to organize my closet now, but I feel I must buy cuter shoes!!!

  10. Sounds like a great night! What a perfect way for you to meet all your new neighbors!

    The kids looked great.....I love the shots of Kate with the candy....you could see her little mind working......"what am I going to eat next"

    So I have to ask...

    What is the story about the Halloween Witch? I should probably go back and check your archives..

  21. What cute pictures! My son loves Star Wars too and several of his Halloween's were devoted to the movie. I am so glad I have a girl in the house now so when she is old enough we can watch movies like Anne of Green Gables & Annie. I have been forced to watch many, many, many adventure movies!

    Kate looks SO adorable! It sounds like she had a blast. And what a great way for her & Harry to meet new friends.

    Happy Halloween!

  23. Kim,

    All the peanuts looked adorable. My husband made me sit through all the Star Wars movies after we got married and I still don't know what a Sith is. :) I am so happy you got to meet some new neighbors and potential playmates for the peanuts. Having neighbors to lean on is such a tremendous blessing. I did a million dollar post on my blog yesterday, so stop over and see my purchases when you get a chance. Have a great week.

I just have to say that Will is the most handsome Sith i have seen( i prefer him to the one in Star Wars) and Harry makes a cute Jedi! Kate is precious of course, I miss the days of the sweet girl costumes! Thanks for sharing your blog with us!

  30. Kim,
    All 3 kids look great. I love Kate's costume - its beautiful. Of course, it would have been a little too cold here for her to wear it!

    Glad you got to meet some neighbors while trick or treating and that Kate had a blast!

    I tried to convince Lily to wear the flower costume, but she is a girl who definitely knows what she wants and a flower wasn't it!

  33. Sooo Cute!! All of your peanuts are growing up so fast. It seems like yesterday that we came home from China and now it's a year and a half later. Is it me or does time go faster when you get older??:)

    I know I've told you this before - all of your kiddos are adorable but Will is just down right handsome! He has a beautiful smile!
    Kim and Katiebug
