Trick or Treat

When I got home from work today, we loaded up the Escape and headed for Shelbyville. We met Nana at Wendy's and had dinner. After that, we went and visited Great-Grandma and Great-Grandpa.


Hannah had a great time running around and checking out all of the new and exciting things. She really wanted to play with some of the giraffes (my Grandma collects them), but I think we finally convinced her that they are not toys.

The next stop was to visit Great-Granny and Great-Grandpa out in Rays Crossing. Nana continued tagging along with us. There were lots of aunts and cousins there. They also had a fire going in their stove, and it was 81 degrees in their house. Who needs a sauna? Just visit them!


Great-Granny and Nana fed the babies their bottles and then we loaded up and came home. We're praying for a better night tonight than we had last night. We were up from 1:00 - 4:00 am last night with babies refusing to sleep. They went right to bed when we got home this evening, so we're hoping they'll just stay asleep.


Here are the rest of the pictures that I took this evening.

Oh, and here are some cute pictures of Hannah and Noah all decked out in their fall attire.

Halloween Came Early

Halloween came a little early at the Scott house this year. Hannah and Noah invited over their cousins and some friends for a Halloween party this evening. Believe it or not, all of their cousins made it. It's so great having everyone close now.


Everyone looked so cute in their costumes. We had a couple of flowers, a couple of ladybugs, a frog (don't worry, he didn't eat the ladybugs), some princesses, fairies, a giraffe, and Don Quixote.

Elizabeth went all out with this party. Somehow she managed to surprise me with how much she had done. There were several activities including coloring, decorating Trick-or-Treating bags, a pumpkin hunt, and cookie decorating. Most of these activities were for the "older" kids. The babies all just played around and had a good time.


The food was definitely the showstopper. The menu included Mummy Hotdogs, Southwestern Turkey Chili, Witches' Hats, spiced cider, Ritz cracker spiders, and graveyard dirt pudding. I'm sure I'm missing something, but at least you get the idea.

We were so glad everyone came, both family and friends. We had a wonderful time. Our friend Andrea has already gotten a post up on her blog about the party. She has some more pictures as well.

Here is our full gallery of pictures. Take a peek if you like.
