Halloween 2011

This year Halloween was a bit crazy.  With my schedule being so full we didn't get a chance to get the kids Halloween costumes until the day before Halloween!
Bean decided that she wanted to be a witch with an awesome hat and broom this year and Bug picked out a Transformers costume that had a cool mask.
As luck would have it, we bought them on Sunday (at a "No Returns Accepted" store) and Bug came down with strep throat Sunday night :)  Bean and Ryan went trick or treating and to our church Home Group bouncy house party while Bug and I sat at home and watched movies.
Happy Halloween!

Bean's 8th Birthday Party

Bean's 8th Birthday Party

We had Bean's 8th birthday party today and it was so much fun!  We had planned on not having a party this year and just getting together for a family celebration but at the last minute Bean decided that she really wanted a party.  So the weekend before her birthday we found a woman who makes bottle cap necklaces.  She came over and made 2 bottle caps with each child.  The girls had a great time!  Then we had cake and opened presents.  Short and sweet and so much fun!
Happy Birthday Bean :)
