What an Eventful Week....

the Weite's experienced around Halloween. Between fun, fall activities and football games....we were BUSY, BUSY!! We took FULL advantage of a few of the fun, kid friendly events up here and the kiddos had an absolute blast. We weren't home until after 8:30 each night and that is soooo not normal for this "bath, brush, book, and bed by 7:30 PM" kind of crew.....

Below are a few pics of the fun times....we definitely got a ton of use out of those costumes!

Tay all ready for yet another stroll around....thank goodness she loves riding around in that thing!!! There are only so many different poses one can take cooped up in the stroller!!! Don't worry, you'll be up and runnin' around with them before you know it!!!

Daddy was able to make it for the walk around Living History Farms at the last minute! What a great little set-up!

Trey & Ty checking out the inside one of the buildings in the town....

Diggin' the fun whistle...although I do have to say that I had waaay more fun with that little thing! I was a whistlin' away!!! Fun, Fun! (aka...Goofy Mommy ;)

Posing by the big pumpkin...we all guessed the weight around 700 pounds...actual weight = more than double that! So much for our guessing game....

Daddy roasting marshmallows with his little Devil and Jail bird....

Tay showing of her skills....

Happy 1st Halloween, Baby Girl!!!

That look says it all....I HEART you!!!

And...don't forget about those clapping skills!!!

Trey at Zombie Burger and Drink Lab in Des Moines. That place really was a hoot and the menu was interesting to say the least!!! Talk about crazy combinations....I mean who really would order an

'Undead Elvis' consisting of peanut butter, egg, fried bananas, mayo, American cheese, and bacon....all stacked on burger patty or two!!!!

The kiddos enjoying walking (okay, running at times) down in Valley Junction....

Taylen....Meeeeeeeow, Fat Little Pink Kitty Cat!!!!

Ready to hit the sidewalks and do a little Trick-or-Treatin' around the neighborhood!!!

Oh...I have to share this pic! Tylee really enjoyed the Trick-or-Treating festivities this year and definitely did a great job of moving at her own pace from house to house. The others were always a good two or three houses ahead of her!! She was in no rush and totally took in her 3 year-old version of beggar's night. I snapped this pic as she plopped down on one of the porches and proceeded to "search" through all the candy choices in the bowl in order to find the "perfect" one. She really couldn't make up her mind....to funny!!! That's my girl...always skippin' to the beat of her own drum :) Love you, Ty!!!

And, one final snapshot of Halloween night!!! 

What fun!! The kids really had a FUNtastic time.....
