Halloween

Halloween, as usual was filled with candy and friends, followed by exhausted cranky kids thrown into bed. At least I was able to raid the candy after the kids were eventually in bed as reward for dealing with the gremlins. I decided that candy will do to a two year old what water does to a gremlin. You have a sweet little boy, but after that taste of candy they turn into sugar craving ... well monsters. Okay, it is not quite that bad, but we sure were grateful for bedtime after we discover Tate inherited my sweet tooth.

Bentli and Tate were both adorable this year. Tatum was a puppy and Bentli was a beautiful ballerina. We had fun trick or treating with some friends, Tate was pretty excited about people actually giving him candy at every door and clutched his candy-filled pillowcase with a death grip. Bentli was charming as every and loved all the attention she received. We were able to end the night at a friend's house with chili and cornbread.

Tatum wasn't crazy about wearing his costume or about getting his pic taken.

Bentli was pretty proud of her ballerina spins and practiced everyday all week long.

Trick or Treating with the Wards. Sadie (Snow White), Sawyer (dragon), Cosette (pumpkin), and Nicole (punk rocker).
