Arkalalah and Halloween

Ok!!! So, I've figured out how to: 1. Use my new camera (YAY!) and 2. Download pictures and get them on the blog (double YAY!).
So, to backtrack a bit on life. A week and a half ago, we went to Kansas for ARKALALAH! It's my hometown's fall festival....filled with food, food and food, family, a carnival, parades, etc. It also fell on Halloween this year, so my girls got to go trick-or-treating with their cousins and extended family.
And, it's the first time I've been home since my dad has completed the renovations on his house. Oh my goodness, what a change! It looks beautiful! And, the grandkids will tell you that their favorite part of PaPa's house is the new "grandkid room." Before the renovation, the master bedroom was upstairs. It has now been moved to downstairs and there was a nice, big bedroom left upstairs. Now, there are Murphy beds and bunkbeds and the cousins all get to sleep together in the same room when they go to PaPa's. They LOVE it!
Basically, the easiest way to describe the weekend is through pictures. So, here we go:
Abby, Keely, Hailey and Connor playing together outside.
Throwing leaves!Playing the infamous "Ring On A String" game
Snow White and the Cutie Ladybug getting ready to go!
Reese just up from her nap. Not so happy about this pumpkin....until the candy came.
Hailey would do a princess pose ANY time you pulled out the camera. It was hysterical.
Connor decided he wasn't going to have a costume this year....until 2 hours before trick-or-treating. After some creative work by Allie and Tracey....wha-la...you have a dog (or a domino).

We even celebrated Laura and Trey's birthdays!
The cousins going for candy!

All-in-all....what a GREAT WEEKEND!
