Halloween 2009

Our Halloween was great! We started the season off at Briley's Farm in Greenville a few days before Halloween!

The kids got to feed the animals - and blatantly disregard the PVC pipes that they have for you to use when feeding them.

Cadence loves pony rides!!!!

There was also a free little hay maze for the kids to run through - which Jacqui and Matt were clearly bored with since they could look across and see exactly where they needed to go so it wasn't much of a challenge!!!

"No Animals were harmed in the making of these photo's..."

Look how excited Jacqui is to be there. Cadence is just as thrilled.

It was cold that day so I was cuddling with my little guy!!!

Then we went on a Hay Ride. We were the only ones on said Hay ride which is probably a good thing because Cadence couldn't decide who exactly she wanted to sit with and kept moving around.

Once the Hayride got to it's destination, Cadence was able to run wild and pick her own pumpkin!!

And here is the winner...

The Pine Knolls Shores Aquarium had a Halloween day for the kids. They got to dress up and go around trick or treating for candy while looking at all the fish.

We went with our friends Amy, Sophia and Jamysson.

Poor Chase, his costume didn't fit him and we had to stuff him in there.

Then there was the pumpkin carving. As usual Jacqui and Matt are an essential part of making it happen each year because they are such a big help.

Also, as usual, Cadence can't stand to get her hands messy...

and leaves the pumpkin in the middle of gutting it to go wash her hands...

so Jacqui is left to do it...

and Matt is left to carve it! What a cutie this one is!!!

Here are my little trick or treaters...Jacqui is Daphne from Scooby Doo, Matt is a nerd, Cadence is a fairy, and Chase is a monkey.

Here is a classic family picture for you all to see...

All the kids trick or treating. We had about 20 people walking with us and it is very hard to keep everyone together! Everyone is usually spread out by like 20 houses.

Jacqui and her best friend Lakyn.

All in all it was a great Halloween and everyone had a good time!

Halloween!!!

This year, Jacqui and Matt just painted their faces and threw on some costumes from the past - which was fine with me because have you see the cost of costumes these days??? Cadence however went back and forth between being Daphene from Scooby Doo or a Skeleton.

She called herself "Bones"

My three little devils.

We went trick or treating with almost every kid on our cul-de-sac...

Cadence and MacKenzie couldn't keep up with the big kids but they had more fun on their own anyway!

Every house had steps like this and it took the little kids forever to get up and down them to get their candy - they were bound and determined to do it though! After every house Cadence would ask her dad "Are we going to get more candy now?"

She also kept trying to eat every piece she got!

The older kids...

They were always atleast 2-3 houses ahead of us!

Kyle (our neighbor) thought it would be funny to pretend to steal Matt's bag - Ken and Ski thought it would be funny to beat him and his friends up in the middle of the street.

Trick or treating was harder then she thought it was!

A group photo!

Ken and Amber

Here they all are waiting for Ken and Ski to go get the car - it was freezing!!!

Matt asking if he can eat a Baby Ruth because he already checked it for needles and poison!

Cadence and Jacqui trading candy. Why do I have a feeling that Cadence is getting cheated out of something just because he's 3 and Jacqui's 11?
