Eleanor didn't want to be a cheerleader again. She wanted to be a ladybug. I didn't have a ladybug costume that fits her, so she decided to wear the butterfly costume that Emily wore last year.
The teddy bear costume is a big hit every time it is worn. Most people referred to Kate as a "him" and thought "he" was so cute.
Zach enjoyed walking with the crowd and collecting his treats. A lot of the people let the kids pick their own treat and Zach would pick one like he was asked to. My mom walked with Zach and Kate through most of the mall, while I kept up with Zoe, Emily, and Eleanor.
Noah wore the pumpkin costume. Here he is too tired to cooperate...
Goodnight Noah...
Here he is awake and alert at the mall...
It was the last time we will see the pumpkin costume around at our house. :-( As I carried Noah around in the Snugli last night, I realized that it was my last Halloween carrying around a baby. A bit sad, but I look forward to seeing him in the cute teddy bear costume next year.
The kids were very good during dinner and a lady stopped on her way out to tell me so.
It was a revelation last night that Zoe and Emily are too big for the rides at the mall. Weird. Kate tried riding in the race car with Eleanor, but when it started she got scared and wanted off! Zach and Eleanor enjoyed the rides.
Zoe & Emily went into a game store with my mom while the younger kids were on the rides, and they came out with 2 new Nintendo games.
Zach and Eleanor went home with my mom to spend the night. They got to see Matt for a minute here at home before leaving. Zoe played her new Nintendo game when we got home, and Emily wished she could play hers, but her Nintendo was missing. Kate ate a few pieces of candy and then went to bed. Matt and I watched "The Office" and then went to bed. Zoe was still up playing her Nintendo and Emily was watching her. At some point when I was sleeping, Matt took away the Nintendo and the girls finally went to sleep.

What a fun Halloween! The kids look so cute in their costumes, and especially angelic at dinner. What a fun night. It sounds like Matt is very busy!! Hopefully you'll see him a little more this weekend? Thanks for posting the fun!
How did I get 4 posts behind?? It has been quite a week - I hope to get a post done soon to explain.
Sounds like a good week, in spite of doing it all by yourself. Sorry about the inspection! We don't have to do that any more, thank goodness.
Great Halloween post:) It sounds like a very fun Halloween.
Looks like you guys had quite the fun Halloween. I love the butterfly costume, that is really cute!
I love the butterfly wings! How come they didn't have such cute things when we were kids? It's all that importing from China.
what a fun Halloween! The kids looked so cute!!
Each of my kids has been a pumpkin for their first Halloween too! I have plans to make a scrapbook page or perhaps a picture with all of them in the pumpkin suit and call it The (insert last name)Pumpkin Patch!
