HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!! Since Kris is finishing the trick or treating with the girls, I decided to blog while answering the door for the trick or treaters. The day started out with our first elementary halloween parade.
My "nice" witch Adrie
My beautiful Dorothy and her dog Toe-Toe!
Grandma Linda came to the parade too! It was so fun to watch my little girl in her first parade! I sometimes can't believe I am at this point with kids in school!
Kyra didn't want to carry Toe-Toe (I still can't figure out how to spell this-I keep trying different ways and nothing looks normal) in the parade because she said he was sleeping and it was too loud for him! What a silly girl!
Mom and Adrie watching the parade at Kyra's school.
After the parade we got to go help at Kyra's classroom party! It was fun to see her friends and her classroom.
Adrie, Kyra and Kyra's friend Ashlyn
Kyra and her friend Kylee
Adrie was SOO excited to get to go to Kyra's class and participate in the party. Kyra even got her a chair to sit on and helped her do all the activities. It was really cute! Kyra is a great big sister! One time I looked over and Kyra was next to the stroller with a whole group of her friends and she was showing Bree off to them all.
Kyra and her teacher, Mrs. Lightfoot. 
Kyra and the pumpkins they carved in class!
Kyra's teacher also appeared as this great witch who made witch's brew for the kids. Adrie was absolutely terrified of her! She had this horrified look on her face the whole time and was clinging to me tightly as she said "I am NOT eating THAT!" Kyra's teacher is super fun and she put on a great little witch show!
After the parade we headed to Kris's work to trick or treat and then we went to lunch with him.
This is my favorite deal for dinner on Halloween! The $5 jack o lantern pizza from Papa Murphy's! the best part is the cookie dough they give to the kids if they are in their costumes. Lucky for me Adrie doesn't ever eat hers so I get it!
Trick or Treat!
We ran into Halle out trick or treating so the girls were excited to go around together for a little while. They were jumping for joy over the popcorn from Miss Julie!

This is what Bree thought of the whole trick or treat thing!
Adrie (and Mom) have been learning that growing up is hard to do. Adrie is no longer a binki girl (this is the first time in over 5 years we haven't had a binki lover). Last week Adrie lost her binki somewhere in the house and after searching everywhere we decided it was probably a good reason to start the withdrawel-since she is giong to be 3 in a few weeks it was time. It has gone pretty good, she has cried for it on and off but has survived. The only problem is that her daily 2-3 hour naps have ended with the binki. It is a whole new world having two kids that don't take regular naps! I am having naptime withdrawels. Anyway, yesterday morning Adrie comes running into our room yelling "I am so excited! I found my binki!". I was heartbroken that she was so happy and I knew we were going to have to talk her out of keeping it at this point. So Kris says "don't you think we should throw it away because you are a big girl now?" She sadly agreed and with Kyra's help holding her hand she quietly walked over to the garbage and threw it away! So I have been really proud of her for giving it up because I know how much she loved that thing. Growing up is not very fun sometimes!!
This is Tysen feeding the babies. Usually she has her one year old next to her with her bottle too because she always wants one with the twins. This is her life now-bottles and babies everywhere- and she is doing a great job. She is so organized and under control with everything! It is really fun having twin babies in the family.
Grandma even got a pinata for the kids which they loved! Another fun Halloween party!
Kris was a mexican and I was the tooth fairy!
Some of our friends-Konishis', Lehnhofs (not dressed up),woodbury's and Dansie's
The kids had a great time playing games and it was nice to get to talk a little with the adults!
