Happy Halloween!

We had such a wonderful time yesterday with our action packed day. Here are the lite and carved pumpkins. 

 Here is our little Jedi and his dog side kick Jedi with our Captain America Princess. Daddy bought the costume big hoping she would wear it next year, but she loved it so much so had to wear it nearly all day yesterday!

 And finally hear is Daddy Darth Vader with the two littles. We prepared the house, pumpkins and candies and set off with a few neighborhood friends.

 Our two new neighbors have 7 year old daughters who ended up in the same class. Sophia, Evelyn and her brother Charlie joined us for a night of fun.

 Phoenix always waited patiently as she was the last to get candy at each house. All of the kids were very respectful and said Happy Halloween and Thank you at each house.

 Before the sun went down we were able to capture a few cute action shots. Here are the older kiddos.

 And now the littles joined their siblings for an action shot. Phoenix lasted nearly 2 hours until 8pm. Daddy took her inside and put her to sleep as his leg was just as tired as Phoenix. Axel met up with the other Axel and continued on for another 30 minutes. Axel and I decided it was good to head home when his pumpkin was filled to the brim. It felt very heavy to hold. Once home he did his candy sorting and counting for his school assignment and then headed off to bed. Both kiddos slept in until 7 am after the time change which would have been 8 am. Both daddy and I were thankful for the extra sleep.

Today has been filled with taking down all of our Halloween decorations and putting up Thanksgiving decorations. I was also able to take Phoenix to the doctor for her heat rash that never really went away. Apparently it was/is dermatitis. The mostly likely trigger has been her mini mouse sheets and pink warm blanket that I purchased a few months back for her big girl bed. They are made of polyester. It looks like her skin is just as sensitive as daddy's skin.

Axel had another baseball game today. It was a beautiful fall day. Otherwise we are gearing up for the next week. Axel has his first field trip of the year and I have a late 3 hour work night meeting. Next weekend is Axel's last soccer game, first swim lessons, Keith's yearly company party that is our one night out a year, and the Jolleys are expected to come watch Axel's baseball game. We are feeling blessed!
