Halloween 2009

I don't get a chance to blog much anymore, but I felt like I really needed to put some cute pictures up of the kids on Halloween. They are all sleeping at the moment, so I am using this time preciously!!!

I had all intentions of the boys going as Hunters, with their little camouflage overalls, hats and we bought them some play guns at Walmart this week. And little Maci was going to go as a duck... so we would have the hunters that are hunting a duck, just like their daddy. (Well, what he likes to do at least, he has had limited times he has been able to go this year because of him helping me with the kids... thank you so much Scott!!!).

Well, when Sawyer got up from his nap, he said he did not want to be a hunter. "Oh no", I thought,"what can he be now????"The only thing we have is the spider man costume (that "Santa" brought to him last year) and he has been terrified of mask and costumes forever! BUT, that is what he wanted to be AND he wanted to wear the mask! BIG DEAL for Sawyer. I couldn't believe it!

So then I felt bad for Braxton because he didn't get to choose what he wanted to be. I dug out some old costumes, and the only two that were close to his size was a COW and a Chicken. Well, he wanted to be a COW. Uh, ohhh, it is a size 12 month! So we had to cut the entire bottom half off and put some black pants on and he went as a "BABY BULL." So cute!

Then Scott and I decided we wanted to dress up too. I found my old cow girl hat and was a cowgirl. He got some old clothes and put some hay in his pocket and his shoes and was a scarecrow.

Maci was.... well a duck. She didn't have a choice! :-) But what a cute duck she was!

Here are some pictures of the night:

Daddy's little Duck! Me with the kids!

All dressed up... Scott the scarecrow, Sawyer the spiderman, Maci the duck, Jodi the cowgirl, Braxton the "baby bull", Grandaddy Joe... well, dressed up as Grandaddy Joe!

Trick or Treat!!! All they got was TREATS!!!!

Here is my little girl!!!! I can't believe I lucked up and got my GIRL on the third try!! I was so happy when the doctor handed her to me and I saw that it was a little girl.... I was estactic! Scott was so happy to, his eyes started tearing up and he wouldn't leave her side, even to tell his parents that we had a little girl. I had to convince him that she would be fine for a few seconds while he went out there and told them.

It is amazing how genetics work, because she has dark skin (like my mom) and dark hair, and eyes (like my mom) and I think she looks just like Scott's sister, Brandy! Although she is only 2 weeks old, and I know how much they can change over a period of weeks, so we will see if she keeps that dark complexion and dark hair!

So far, she has been a great baby, just not wanting to sleep at night much... but she is really good other then that. Compared with the boys, how bad they were as newborns, I am so pleasantly surprised to have MY GIRL, and so far, a GOOD GIRL!

I hope you like the pictures, I have many, many more sweet ones with Maci and her daddy! Wrapped already!
