Halloween!

Boy is Halloween and eventful and fun time with kids!  It started with their music class party!

 

Showing off the costumes they chose as they get ready for the party.

Next fun event was of course carving pumpkins.  The boys put in their requests and daddy carved them.  B requested a scary one and Henry wanted a happy one with two teeth:) 

 They were excited on Halloween morning when they went downstairs and discovered daddy had already lit the pumpkins for them before he went to work. 

And finally dressed up for trick or treating at the church.  Unfortunately Eddie had a really bad day and this was the best we could get of our usual happy boy!  We couldn't decide why he was screaming all day.  It could have been the two huge golf ball sized lumps in his legs from his shots a few days before, or the rash he got that in the matter of a day covered him from neck to belly, or the fact that he was starving becuase mommy all of a sudden lost her milk for no reason anyone can figure out, or that his tummy hurt from the formula mommy was trying to give him to ease his hunger(it turns out when your baby has a lactose intolerance it's really hard to find a formula that doesn't hurt them that tastes good enough to eat).  Wow, it must be hard being a baby and not being able to voice what's wrong!  I for sure know it's hard being a mom and feeling helpless when your baby is crying and you can't figure out what's wrong and how to help them!  The good news is we have since almost resolved all of his pains and he has returned to our happy ray of sunshine.  Being a mom is hard stuff but when I see my sweet Eddie's big smile it makes it all worth it! 

 And I wore my usual witch costume but added a new accessory.  A nose!  Not my favorite addition but the kids sure loved the surprise when I came out of the bathroom wearing it and chased them around the house!
