Happy Halloween!

We had a super fun week last week celebrating Halloween!  Sullivan was an Elephant and Ansley was a Ladybug.  Sully had many fun parties--one with his playgroup, one at school (with a super cute parade), and a fun party here with us and Grancie, Pip, and Zizzie.  Sully was REALLY into trick-or-treating this year...he would run from house to house and ended up with a nice bucketful of candy!  It was a lot of fun and it was so fun to see him so excited!  He woke up Halloween morning, came into our room and said, "It's Halloween!"  This is a fun age for holidays.  Ansley, on the other hand, didn't really like dressing up and cried a lot when we first put on her costume.  She eventually got used to it and enjoyed the evening in her stroller.  Next year will be able to participate more...this year was still all about Sully.  

Here are some pictures from our fun 2 day Halloween celebration!  Enjoy!

Pizza Time at the party...

 The only time they were quiet! Can you tell who liked their cupcake?  Sully's was already gone while everyone else was still eating!  Of course, he wanted more!  :)

Sully and Brayden

Sully's Fall Festival and Parade at School

Sully's class enjoying a snack and a story after the parade...can you find Sully?  

Costume parade Sully wouldn't smile at the camera for me...he was being shy.  

 Sully and Ansley before trick or treating...Ansley was not very happy! 

  Our little, uncomfortable Ladybug.  :)

Zizzie and the elephant

We mostly used the video camera on Halloween night to capture Sully's excitement, so sorry I don't have better pictures!  

 Ansley was so relieved and much happier when the costume came off! 

 

Last week I took the kids down to the zoo.  We had not been since May, so Sully was SO excited and had a great time.  Ansley enjoyed herself, as well.  It was a little chilly that day so she looked like a pink marsh mellow in her stroller.  It was a fun day and we had fun with Malley and Laine!

Ansley took a nice nap in her stroller for part of the morning.  

Sully wasn't afraid to brush the sheep and goats this time!  

Ansley and her boyfriend, Turner.  

I love these pictures of Ansley

Ansley is now pulling up to her knees...she will be pulling up to standing soon, but I am not pushing it...she has now starting crawling really well, so she is all over the place...I remember really trying to get Sully to crawl, stand, walk, etc...not with Ansley...I want her to stay little as long as possible...and the more she moves, the busier I get!  haha  This picture is super cute of Sully and Ansley...

They were watching the dogs outside playing.  So cute!!!  

Enjoy all the pictures!
