Happy Halloween!

Skylie has a new favorite holiday—Halloween. What's not to love? Candy galore is this girl's heaven.

MOPS FALL FESTIVAL

Since movie to Indy I've joined MOPS (Mothers of Pre-schoolers). It's a group that gets together a couple times each month. A few days before Halloween we got together at a farm for hot dogs, s'mores, and tractor and pony rides.

It's a rare occasion to get a picture with all the fam.

Skylie loved the pony ride.

Skylie dressed as a witch--but seriously disliked wearing the hat.


WARD TRUNK OR TREAT

That same night we made it to the end of our ward's Trunk or Treat activity.

Can you see the complete and utter joy Skylie felt at getting to eat massive amounts of candy?

LIBRARY'S HALLOWEEN PARTY

The next day Matt and I watched a few friends' kids so they could go to the temple. While the little ones napped, I took Skylie and Rachel to the library's Halloween Party.

I love that they're holding hands. Too cute!

HALLOWEEN DAY
APPLE ORCHARD
A DMU student and his family visited Indy to check out the residency program here. On Monday I took my kiddos with Natalie and her gang to an apple orchard. The "toddler" corn maze left even the adults wondering if we'd ever reach the end! Here's proof that we did.

HALLOWEEN NIGHT
NEIGHBORHOOD TRICK-OR-TREATING

Kaitlyn, dressed as a pumpkin, did make the rounds.

But this one cared about getting the loot.

We ate dinner at 8 p.m. on Halloween. It consisted of edemame and candy. To our surprise Skylie shoveled the vegetables down just as quick as the candy.

Happy Halloween!
