Before the show, we stopped off for a yummy dinner and I asked one of the workers to take our pic. I don't think she was too happy about it because she pointed the camera straight at the brick wall behind us. And, she cut out these two:
I would've photoshopped them in, but that's just not one of my talents. 
Free candy (thanks to James' fancy phone), good laughs and great friends! 
We took a little roadie to do some shopping and turned back to see Luke with a mouthful of toes. Who would've thought toe jam could be so yummy???
Luke grabbed Nikki's hand and chatted her ear off all the way to the elevator. Lookin pretty flirtatious to me....Patrick better hurry home.
Luke was completely out of control at lunch. He grabbed the lemons off the salsa bar and thought it was awesome to watch the water splatter all over Nikki and Carter when he threw them in his plate of water. Nikki laughing out loud did not exactly help the situation. I think the good people at Rubios were about to show us to the door. Good thing the other children were behaving like perfect angels! 
Sweet group of parade onlookers. 
Jake and Jake F.
Jake walked the entire 1.6 mile route carrying this banner with his fellow Webelos.
I think our scouts had the best float in the whole parade. And it's not just because their only competition was garabage trucks and RVs.

Being brave on the kiddie rides!
There's nothing like a carnival with your friends!
We are so happy for Jackie and Mike and all of the amazing things that are ahead for them!
Two of my most favorite people in the world! 
This is Jackie's cousin, Madison, with Breanna. They took one look at each other and it was as if they were had been friends forever. They played together the whole night.
Grandma and Grandpa met us there!
We had a long drive home and couldn't find Mike as we were leaving, so we were sad to snap a quick picture without him. We're so glad he's part of the family now!

1st favorite pic of the night.
The gang chowing down. Thanks for the yummy grub!
Deelish!
Did I mention my friend Amber is a pastry chef? Divine!
Check out these pecs, baby!
Harry kept asking me if his mouth was clean.
Heidi (the black widow) was telling lol funny stories the entire night.
2nd favorite pic of the night: Jeromy and Amber bustin a gut over Heidi's stories. I wish I could give you the audio on this one. Seriously funny stuff!
Lookin spooky!
Score #1!
He kept saying, "Mom, where we going?" 
One of the many decked out houses along the way.
Couldn't resist posting this one. 
3rd and final favorite pic of the night. 
Heidi made me laugh the entire night. She is BFF's with a roommate I had while Jer and I were dating and she reminds us so much of her. I'm so glad we got to hang out. My cheeks hurt when I got home from laughing so hard. I just love her! 
Only got 2 pumpkins, one for Jake and one for Bree because
Jake workin' it.
Bree really workin' it.
Ta-da! 
luke + cornstarch = at least an hour of clean up that I had not scheduled into my already excruciatingly busy day
Girls gobbling goodies.
Boys being boys.
Tate and Luke with matching fauxhawks.
We played one wicked game after another. The Wizard, Winking Ghost, Monster Attack, Pumpkin Toss, and the infamous Ghosts in the Graveyard to name a few. It was so fun I forgot to take pictures! The time flew by. 
This was taken right before the kids arrived. Heidi came over to lend her expertise in cupcake decorating (that is after landing a new job on her way through a drive through - she's quite the gal!). She brought party decor as well and it all turned out fab. Heidi is so amazing and just plain AWESOME!!!
This little wizard spent the night wondering who's birthday it was. I forgot how much fun Halloween is with a 2 year old in the house. He kept putting on this hat, running through the house saying, "I itch! I itch!" That's Lukenese for "I'm a witch! I'm a witch!"
