Busy Halloween

Our Halloween was a busy day for us. It started out with a parade and party at Caden's preschool. Since it was soooo cold, we had the kids wrapped up pretty good. We watched the kids' parade and songs with our neighbors. After his little party, Abby and I picked Caden back up and drove straight to Daddy's new school.

Ethan and Abby waiting patiently.

Of course Caden and Ella came out hand-in-hand.

This was when they were getting ready to sing their songs. They were so cute. It looked like Caden was singing along for the most part. I know he was practicing them at home!

Halloween always brings about an exciting and somewhat trying question...what's Jason going to be for Halloween? He has been coordinating his costume around the kids for the past 4 years:
2008 - Caden - lion/Jason - lion rescuer
2009 - Caden - monkey/Jason - banana tree (my idea)
2010 - Caden - elephant/Jason - peanut salesman (Abigail was a lady bug...)
2011 - Caden & Abigail - dinosaurs/Jason - paleontologist (my idea)

He honestly did measure this and it came out to be about the length of the femur for a T-Rex.

Caden had a blast passing out pencils to Jason's students.

Abigail really liked the bug this kid made...she was kinda creeping up to him to get a closer look.

It was our first time to Daddy's new school...really nice to finally be able to see it.

Then for Halloween night...we bundled back up again. Caden wore a hat under the head which worked really well. It kept Buddy's head (he was Buddy from the Dinosaur Train on PBS - thanks Jen for the costume) from falling to the side.

Profile shot. Abigail loved Caden's tail!

Our dinosaurs.

Trick-or-treating with Ella and Ethan!

Abby got tired and only made it about half way. Jason took her back so that they could pass out some candy.
