Halloween and 7 S on S

This year had to have been the best Halloween EVER! It started off alittle shaky. On Thursday J found out that our ward wasn't going to be doing a Trunk-or-Treat. That set him off and he informed me that he wasn't going to dress up and NOT going Trick-or-treating to the neighbors cause that was "just dumb". By Sat. I had him convinced that it would be alright. We made plans to go with my Brother and his family to their Trunk-or-treat. After that, we headed up to Grandma and Grandpa Anderson's to show off the costumes. It had to have been the warmest halloween I ever remember. We put Mady in the stroller and headed out to knock on doors. We have never done this with the kids. Usually it is cold and they were little enough that they didn't care, the ward thing was good enough. Once they caught on, we were all running full speed house to house....
They ended up having to dump their bags a couple of times. I will post of picture of that later. I have the extra bags stashed away. (Nate thinks that he is taking them to Richfield with him) By 8:00 all the kids were done except MyLeigh. Nate took her and her cousin Xander out for more. That girl can run forever! She never even complained about the cold. Although I did finally force her to put leggings on. The Best Part of Halloween? It is a tie between Mady learning to say "Trick or Treat" and being together as a family having a great time.

7 Smiles on Sunday
1- Halloween!
2- Mady's birthday is today. My baby is 2. I am so grateful for her quiet personality (don't think that it will last for long)
3- Cheesecake Factory! That is were Nate's company took all of us to dinner. Soooo Yummy!
4- My 24 hours away from the kids is just what I needed to recharge my batteries.
5-Finally a Halloween picture of ALL the kids. No kidding, every year someone is crying, or just won't cooperate. I have never had a picture with all my kids.
6-Sunday dinner as a whole family. I miss that so much
7- For as long as we have all been apart, every week we are getting closer to the end of all this. So glad that we are not starting from the beginning.
