The kids have had a SUPER time this past week with all the fun fall events!
Kirkley came home a few weeks ago after "S" day at school, and declared she knew what her and Jay would be this year.
She was so excited for them to be Super Girl and Super Boy!
She already has next year's costumes lined up that incorporate little brother to come! :)
We hit the fall festival for games, rides, and fun with friends...
Carved up a pumpkin...
Had a class parade...
I wish you could see the spring in her step as she pranced in the parade!
And made the rounds visiting family and friends...
We hit a few houses in the neighborhood, then the kids had the best time handing out candy!
Kirkley loved handing out the candy, and it was hilarious hearing her talk to everyone:
"I love your costume!"
"Happy Halloween to you too!"
Then a boy came to the door probably 8 years old dressed as a skeleton.
We heard her call out to him, "I love your bones!"
Classic Kirkley. Love it! Such a fun time of year!!
"Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket,
but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house.
In the same way, let your light shine before others,
so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven."
Matthew 5:15-16
Dorothy and the Lion headed to the fall festival last night! Thankfully the weather cooled down and Jay did great in his costume!
Kirkley's class had a costume parade this morning to show off their cute cute outfits! They all looked adorable. Toto has been the favorite part of her costume -- she gripped him closely the whole parade!
He even looks distracted from his Cheerio eating and excited to see her too like we didn't just drop her off 15 minutes earlier -- long lost friends! A stark contrast to what's been going on at home a lot of the time with Jay cruising all around and getting his hands on her stuff! I'm glad to see sweet moments like this one!!!
Kirkley had a great time with all of the Halloween festivities! We went to church carnivals, trick-or-treated at the grandparents' and Lala's, and ate lots of sugar! She was so funny this year about a costume. We looked and looked at the online and in catalogs, and she wasn't drawn to anything. Then one day we were reading the Five Little Monkeys, and she thought dressing up as one of them would be hilarious -- with the "bump" on her head and all!
We had such a fun evening taking Kirkley around for her first night of trick or treating! We stopped by our sweet neighbors, surprised the grandparents, and strolled with the Stephens and Vaughns. We're a little concerned we'll have to reateach her next year that you don't go in everyone's house and hang out. So great to see everyone! No candy was collected, but she had lots of fun! Not many smiles as this was totally pushing bedtime. She's looking pretty zoned out by the end...

Our last stop -- saying hi to conductor Andrew!
