Halloween!

I swear all we did last week was party - the last two weeks actually. The kids went to 3 different Halloween parties and then trick-or-treating. Thursday of last week was Makele's Fall Festival at her school. She was so excited to go and kept asking me every 5 minutes when it was going to be time. I just loved this picture because it is so typical - Makele smiling sweetly at the camera, Aiden bawling and Jack goofing off.

Makele got some serious face paint at the party -
She even managed to catch a real live fairy before the party -
Aiden looked adorable in the little lion costume my sister made a couple of years ago for her little boy -
We went down to Jeff's parent's house for Halloween and went trick-or-treating around their neighborhood. We could barely keep up with Makele - she was running from house to house. We picked the right neighborhood though, the kids scored a bunch of candy including two full sized candy bars each.
Jack hasn't been able to get enough of his Mario costume. He pretty much wears the white gloves and hat everyday. He even insists on wearing them in public - I'm sure people are wondering what the heck is going on with that kid. He even wears them to bed!

His costume was a big hit - one little boy was so excited when he saw him. He kept saying to his mom, "look, Mom, it's Mario!" Several other people said "It's a Mario!" Jack just ate it up.
