The Ard Clan: Happy Halloween!!!!!!

What a great Halloween weekend! The kids had so much fun this year. We had an event filled week.... a friend's Halloween play date, Gracyn's school parade, carving pumpkins, a Halloween pre-party at our house, and of course, Trick-or-treating!!!!

Gracyn was a princess this year. She definitely played the part too. She wanted make-up and her hair perfect. She even walked gracefully and posed for her pictures with her head tilted. Great Grandma Scherer made her beautiful costume and as usual she received so many compliments. Michael was a Tiger this year. He would make the cutest Roar!!!!!!! sound when you asked him what the tiger says. Our first party we went to the Monday before Halloween it took him only about 5 minutes to be completely covered in mud! Thankfully the costume washed up pretty well.

Gracyn was a pro a trick-or treating this year! We had about 20 kids that went out together and Gracyn was always one of the leaders of the pack, running as fast as she could to the next door. I guess she really got it this year. The faster you move means the more houses you hit which leads to lots and lots of candy! Smart Girl! She also realized that Mommy and Daddy sneak a few pieces out of her trick-or-treat bag from time to time! Oops. Michael on the other hand was historical this year. He would often just walk right in to whomever's house we were at. He was always the last to make it to the door and even left his bag in one of the houses! He sure did look cute though and he always said "thank you." My good boy!

Here are some photos from the week!
