The better part of October at our house was spent readying for Halloween, which seems to get better and better as our girls get older. It's sad to see these next photos first, but what a treat it was to...
Have a trick-or-treat visit with Great-Grandpa Gus at the Four Courts
Gramps and "his babies"...whenever we'd visit him on Wednesday nights for dinner, he'd ask us right away "Where's my babies??" God bless him.
Painting pumpkins
Ditto
With Claire [and Gus] too!

Dry run on Halloween at the Zoo; Ballerina and Princess Tiana
Belle meets Tiana...and note nervous Jane. Fingers in mouth, ALWAYS.

Jane scaring Katie, our neighbor, carving away at her pumpkin
Pumpkin pizza face
Aunt Lauren came to trick-or-treat with Blakely while I gave candy...a whole new thing for us to live on a flat street with sidewalks and nice, fun people who party on Halloween! Praise Jesus! I marked my words back then, and meant it!
Spooky porch and four girls ready for some CANDY!
First Halloween in the new digs
MT and Lauren enjoying the first of the loot
Jane the spider with Katie and Jonathan our next door neighbors
Candy lips
Katie and Jonathan's tough pumpkins
The effects of candy starting to show!
Mary Thomas, Gus, Jane, and Claire
After we made our way around our neighborhood [and Mary Thomas rode in the stroller the 12' between houses], we bopped across town to my parents' neighborhood.
Elyse, Jane, Tori, and Claire...our favorite summer swim pals!
Gus and the monkey's uncle
Candy duty on the Faller's porch
At the Diemer's, my third set of grandparents. I trick-or-treated there before I could walk.
Mary Thomas gives Big Bobby some Halloween goodnight love
...and found a puppy friend outside...
...then crashed.
With candy still pumping through her veins WAY past bedtime, Jane kept going a couple more hours.

Happy Halloween!
