Trick or Treat!!!!

It was a cold rainy night and I didn't take one picture of the kids in their costumes.  They ran out the door so fast.  I did take a few shots of how much candy they came home with, holy cow!

 Good morning birthday girl!  It's your breakfast in bed!

The day of all days! 

A birthday breakfast, open presents, class party, "Thriller" dance class (for me), more class parties, bake a spider birthday cake, then surprise the birthday girl with a trip to
"The Haunted Express" (worth the hour and forty minute wait!)

It poured at Z's game, which is why I left my camera in the car. I missed some great shots (mostly of me and the three little ones snuggled tight under an umbrella.....wearing ponchos).  For M's game, although the rain had stopped, it was still chilly.  I loved the view of the mountains and how the clouds rested on them.  It's hard to watch a football game with views like this but with a nail-biting, overtime win, (to stay undefeated) I managed.
P.S. Z won too!

Anticipating the day when he will be wearing a helmet and pads.
