Hope everyone had a wonderful Halloween! Let's face it. One of the best things about this holiday (for the parents anyway) is getting to see your kids dressed up in cute costumes for pictures. It was like pulling teeth to get them to sit still before we went out for candy, but I managed to snap a few before they got too antsy. I decided to put them all on here because they are just so adorable.

I started this post with a few pics of Jacob from this week. Unfortunately he had some kind of viral infection that gave him a sore mouth/tongue so he had to stay home for a day. We got out the doctor kit so he could give us checkups. Too bad I couldn't get a photo of him with the scrubs on too :-) As you can see he is feeling much better now, good enough for seconds and thirds on the cornbread Micah and I made. We had left the kitchen and I came back in several minutes later to find him raiding the dish for leftover crumbs!

Both boys had parties at school yesterday and were already loaded with sugar, but we trekked over to the girls' dorms at OBU and trick-or-treated there. We ran into several friends from around town and ended up going around the halls with them. By the time we were done, both baskets were filled to the brim. We hit one more house on the walk home and called it a night. Of course, Micah wanted to sort his candy right away, choosing his favorites to eat. Jacob pretty much just tried to get as much candy in as fast as he could! This represents the difference in their personalities to a "T"! After a few minutes of the Curious George Halloween special on TV, they were both ready for bed.
