Halloween and Snow.....already?!

Halloween day me and Jaylie went up to the school to watch the Halloween parade...

Kanyon and Mrs. Alex came in to the parade a little early so they had the whole stage to themselves! 

 Quinn's Halloween costume only works at night, so he was Kawhi Leonard at school.  We tried making a corn row wig but it didn't quite turn out.  

Mrs. Alex the troll with Kan Man the scuba diver! 

Here's a close up of Kan's oxygen tank.  This costume made me laugh so much.  I can't really remember how we decided on it, but we got a kick out of it.  

Q and his buddy Barrett at their classroom party.

I'm dying over the Minion here....

We finally ended the crib mattress business and got Jaylie an actual bed.  Funny thing is she felt like she was out of this world special for getting a real bed.  She kept telling me no one would believe she had a big bed.  So really its just further proof that you keep your standards super low (crib mattress past the age of 5) and when you hit baseline (actual bed) they'll think its out of this world! YAY! 

Of course I was a little sad to see the change. I'm sentimental about alllllll the little kid things.  (I will say adding the second mattress when Ellie was here did extend the life of the crib mattress.  She at least didn't flop onto the floor in the night anymore, she could flop onto another mattress....winning as usual.)

New mattress!!!! We actually did order a bed frame so she is now the only child in the house that is not sleeping on a mattress on the floor. She's the only person in the house with a head board.  She's the fanciest of all.  

Halloween fun!!!! There are some perks to having to live in town right now and one of them is our great Trick or Treat neighborhood! This was Jona's first year to really "get it" and we had so much fun.  It got a pretty rainy and yucky but they were total troopers! Kanyon has zero interest in trick or treating. I get it...he doesn't like candy and walking is a ton of work so he was pretty much done after our sweet old neighbor's house.  He came back to our house to help Gram and Chief pass out candy while the rest of us trick or treated.  

Kanyon the scuba diver, Jaylie the Rainbow Trout, Jona Winnie the Pooh, and Q the glow stick man! 

Y'all...Rainbow Trout??? Where does this kid get her ideas? This was quite the challenge for me, but I had fun with it and she was thrilled with it and didn't seem bothered when no one knew what she was! When it started raining she just said it didn't matter to her because she was a fish and fish are used to the water. 

The eyeballs were my favorite part.  

How cute is this Pooh Bear with her honey jar!!!! 

There's no denying that Quinn is my brother Clay's clone on the outside, but otherwise, Quinn is so much like his Daddy.  Even down to their heels.  Neither one seem to be bothered by gigantic holes. 

Juney spent the night with Jona...here they are watching their movie before bed.  Sweet little girls. 

And just like that we are outside playing in the snow.  Check ya later pretty fall days....time for this stuff.  

I can't remember now what they were doing...maybe getting the stragglers out of the mountain pasture??? But I got this picture from Kory and loved it!
