Trick or Treating

I love re-living life through our kids. I thought I was a pretty excitable person...but oh wow, Ryan and I couldn't keep up with all of the girls' excitement tonight! They were like running from house to house and could hardly contain themselves. It was tough teaching them "trick or treating" etiquette as they all wanted to grab like five HANDFULS of candy from each house...or decline a certain "type" of candy, forget the "thank you's" because they were so focused on what candy just dropped into their basket :) ...you know. But they were so cute! The very first house they went to, Ryan and I stood at the end of the driveway and they ran up....they just looked SOOO big! Can't believe it.
They had to debate in between EACH house who was going to ring the next doorbell....it was quite the ordeal... They are soooo excited with their candy...and even more importantly, THEIR own PERSONAL candy in their OWN little basket. They just love running around the house holding their little basket.... I LOVE experiencing this stuff with our girls! They are too much!
Here they are, riding in "style" around the neighborhood...
Princess Cinderella (Addison), Princess Belle (Emily), Princess Sleeping Beauty (Hailey)

Getting a good picture of the girls is hard..now that they say the word "cheeeeeesssee" and hold it until you're done snapping... :)

Still "cheeeeessssseeee-ing" :)
This is what it looked like at every house we went to. Addy was in the lead...running...always saying "Let's go! Come ONNN!" It's funny to me that she is the first born too. Can you just hear her leading the way...in the womb saying "Let's GO guys!" :) Then Emily kept tripping on her dress...and then Hailey's basket was getting too heavy so she got slower and slower the longer we were out. :)


We went to a Halloween trick or treating party on Saturday night with the girls too. The adults even dressed up for that one! Ryan and I sported AWESOME 80's denim.
And here's a random pic of Hailey, prancin' around the house, that I love. Pink high heels, a Packer jersey...and a microphone. Happy girl. :)
Okay and Addy I love you and I'm sorry for posting this pic already but I just had to show how life really is around here. The girls were sitting exactly like this today while Addy was going potty having a big old chat about who knows what...then I come in w/ the camera...and up goes that hand as you can imagine. :) Privacy is hard to come by around here. :)
