Halloween!!

Oh, I love halloween, and dread it at the same time. I have to find costumes that are warm, yet cute...thank you Old Navy! Then I have to help Kyleigh get candy and then spend the next few weeks fighting her on how much she can have. This year, we did some trick or treating, but spent most of the night driving to the houses of friends and family. Which created a new problem, Cooper can't be buckled into his car seat with his costume on! So at every stop we would have to get him out, get him redressed, and then go visit for 10 min. and then get him undressed and back in his seat to drive to the next location. Just to repeat the process. It was cold, and crazy, and he didn't like being messed with everytime. It was fun to see the kids all dressed up, and then to see their excitement. Cooper didn't get it, I think we did give him one treat though. Kyleigh however, was so excited! She kept getting a little out of control, and we would have to warn her to behave. She loved getting candy! We had to tell her to only take one piece at each house, she would just keep taking candy till they finally moved the bowl. We trick or treated in our old ward in Lorin and Renee's neighborhood, and so we would start talking to other adults and not notice what Ky was doing. At some houses she probably took like 3-4 pieces of candy before we realized what she was doing and made her stop. She is so sweet, and she shared her candy with Brandon, Cooper, and I. She even handed out some of her own candy to the trick or treaters who came to our house. Well, here are the pics from tonight! Aren't they the most adorable Ladybug and Dragon you ever saw?! Cooper had a halloween outfit that we got some pictures of him in before we got him in his costume.

They are the most adorable dinosaur and lady bug I have ever seen. Old Navy costumes are so great because they stay so warm but we had a hard time buckling them in also. I am so glad you guys had fun.

So cute! I know what you mean about having to find warm costumes. At least Halloween was mild in PA this year.
Those pics of Cooper are so cute. I have to say that he looks like your side of the family and Kyleigh looks just like Brandon.
