Happy Halloween

Emmy and her friend Olivia planned to Trick or Treat together in Hickman. They were both volleyball players and at the last-minute Emmy added some black eyes and blood for a zombie volleyball player. They were cute. We had come up with the idea to cut up a cheap volleyball and make it their candy bucket. They got a lot of compliments on these. The Hickman community is so great about being a fun place to trick or treat. There are always a ton of kids and people have their yards decorated and a lot of them are dressed up. The night was beautiful, and we didn't even need coats, hats and gloves like previous years. The girls wanted to hit as many houses as possible to we walked around for a couple hours. This year Halloween was on a Monday, poor teachers on Tuesday! So, we tried not to get home too late.

They had quite the haul! She even shared some with me. 

Abby went to Hallam with Kaylee and they went trick or treating too. Abby was a devil and Kaylee was an angel. She didn't take any pictures for me though. 

I had been asking the boys for a week or more what their plans were and in true teen boy fashion plans were made at noon that day. I got a text while I was at work that said, "Can we have people over, Like A Lot of people???". Oh boys! Robb has really tried to convince me to roll with it and be flexible because we want our kids at our house, and we want to know their friends and then we know what they are doing. So, I said sure through gritted teeth. I didn't get any pictures of the party just a picture of a lot of shoes by the door. The boys had a blast! Caleb was super proud of himself for pulling together a 30 some person Halloween party at lunch the day of. They really do have a great group of friends. They played pool, poker, video games and used the golf net. There were teenagers everywhere. Caleb stopped at the store and picked up drinks, and snacks and they had a fun night.
