Halloween and other pics

So here's a little info about the pics in the slide show. Kaitlyn got a black eye a little over a week after we moved here. Here's how we tell it: We were at our friends house for dinner and the kids were playing and somehow Kaitlyn bumped her head just right on the bed frame while watching "Cars". Really that is how it happened. Then the next day we go to playgroup and this 1 year old little girl wants to see Dillon. So I let her give him a hug and she seems so cute then Wham! Dillon is screaming and his cheek is imprinted with her teeth! We didn't even see it coming! She's a Bella in the making or maybe more like Renesme.

I absolutly love Halloween! Growing up my mom made it so much fun. She is famous for starting the spudnut (dounuts made with potatoes) making tradition that Rory now continues. Anyway, I've kind of started my own tradition of making homeade chili, cornbread, and apple cider. It was very yummy, but not really needed as the weather was gorgeous and in the upper 70's. Kaitlyn loved trick or treating. She made a big deal of making us wait for her on the side walk while she walked up to the house. She also loved passing out the candy and if she saw other kids behind her she would try to take some to give to them as well. She loved putting it in her bucket, which made it sort of awkward when people would bend down to put it in her bag and she would snatch it right out before they could drop it and put it in herself. Ahhh! That girl cracks me up! This was the first year she got to go trick or treating and she was ALL about it! We went down one street then came home for a few minutes. When we went to go out again she told us to "stay here, I'll go to lots of houses and get candy" and she kept looking back to make sure we didn't leave the poorch as started up the street. Somehow we convinced her to let us go with her.
