Halloween 2013...

Halloween Day started at 4am when a little-over-zealous Natalee shook my arm: 

"Mommy, Hollie won't wake up! And it's Halloween!! "

Me: Natalee! It's 4am!
N: no mom! It's 7:00. 
Me: glancing to make sure.... no Natalee, it's definitely 4am. Is shy up?
N: yes! I woke her up. She's getting dressed!!! I'm sooooo excited!!!! 
M: GO BACK TO BED!! It's the middle of the night.....!!! :) 

And then... Our real day started a few hours later.... :) 
.... with Daddy home and a quick trip to the Elementary school to watch the girls in their annual Halloween parade! The boys were right at home as the entire office staff was dressed up as minions, including the principal (too cute!)


I wasn't going to include these pictures because they're blurry and not that good.... but they captured a moment... these crazy 1st graders refusing to slow down so mom can get a good pic as they paraded by!


 I tried to get Shy to make a grumpy face but this was all i got!

Hollie the little Kindergartener was soooo proud to be included in the parade at her big sisters' school: 


As we were leaving... I snapped this pic of my little chubby boy...

 Daddy headed off to work and Nonnie came to town to help corral the rugrats orphans, monkeys & minions....

These boys QUICKLY figured out how to score the goods... def. Brocks favorite Holiday thus far!

I love them all! Wish I could hang out with these kiddos more often, but it was fun having the boys today! Gotta do it again!

OH I love the Barton family Halloween costumes. So cute. A friend of mine is teaching me how to make those minion hats for the Kopp twins.

ooops!

I just realized that those "8 Month" pics I posted a few days ago weren't the 8 month pix.  They were more like one day shy of 7 month pictures... and THESE are the 8 month pictures! ha. o well... not much difference.  My editing was terrible in the 7 month pix - these are unedited, and probably for the best since it's not my strong suite! ha! (isn't this outfit from Nonnie ADORABLE!?) Love, love, love this one:    This is a typical face.  If he's not sucking in his lip, he's spitting and soaking his shirt with drool! (sorry so blurry - just had to remember this face!)
