Halloween madness

Halloween day was a very long one for us. Kimball had a doctor's appt.in the morning followed by a party at his school. After some short naps we headed to downtown Redlands for some "safe" trick-or-treating. It was fun but pretty busy. Next we ran home made some side dishes for dinner at a friends house. After dinner we got the kids ready once again in costume for more trick-or-treating. All-in-all it was a really fun day and night.The kids had a blast. Kate's way of getting candy was to just give a cute stare with hand extended to those who were handing out candy. I will have you know she made out better than Kimball did in the candy department. By the end of the night she was practically dragging her bucket. She would not let us hold it, trust me we tried. She insisted on carrying it like a purse in the crease of her arm. Kimball and his friend Phoenix sprinted door to door screaming trick-or-treat before ever knocking on the door. It was very cute. The little boys would give each other high fives at each door because they had run so fast.

Kimball as Batman, Phoenix as a Pirate and Kate as herself, a busy bee.


This is the best picture we could get of the kids. I swear they have some way of knowing right before the camera is going to go off and they turn their little heads.


After a long day of candy binging Kate went to sleep, the boys watched a movie and the adults got to play games.

Kimball and Kate at his school party. Kate really liked to sit at the table with the big kids. She is a quick one though. Notice the sucker in one of her hands. The little girl next to her took her eyes off of it for two seconds. All I have to say is, "you snooze, you loose sister."
