Halloween

This year Killian was really into Halloween. Our neighbors really get into the spirit and decorate like crazy. Every time we went out the front she would start clapping and yelling "Look mom, Halloween. Ohhhhhhh! Boo!" This made going anywhere quickly pretty much impossible. As we would drive if she saw any yard decorations, lights, pumpkins or pretty much anything she would yell at me to look.

She has really been getting into wearing dresses lately so her outfit had to be dress-like, but when we are notorious for snow on Halloween, I made sure we had a warm back up. And much to Sean's satisfaction Killian wants to wear her Packers cheerleader outfit all the time. So why not save some money and call the costume done!

We have a Halloween party every year at work. It turned out to be a lovely evening for a party, not too cold and not too warm. Our good friend Stefanie (who also works with me) and I dressed up as Old Librarians. People got a big kick out of it. We even won first place in the costume contest. When everyone started clapping we jumped up for joy and then remembered we were in character and immediately starting shushing them. Killian even got in on the prizes, winning 2nd place in her age group (I have to admit the baby Yoda was adorable and deserved 1st).

Sean and I made plans to head over to my Grandpa Joe's for Halloween. We wanted to help him pass out candy and make sure Killian got to see him. We were joined by my sister, brother-in-law, nephew and my mom and Jim. Which turned out to be a blessing for Sean. He is in charge of the yard and I think every leaf on the trees fell that week and were everywhere! The boys got to work outside while the gals stayed inside entertaining grandpa.

Wow! That's a lot of leaves.

Jump! Jump!

As the trick-or-treating hours neared it was getting a bit cold and Killian was having a lot of fun inside so we decided to have her help us pass out candy. She loved seeing all the kids and costumes. She tried to take off with a couple families but I had to burst her bubble and demand she stay with us.
