Argh, Roar and Happy Halloween!

What an adventurous past week at our crazy household! Evie and I spent the better part of an evening last week decorating pumpkins. Although she was mostly interested in "the guts" of the pumpkins, she was pretty proud to put them on our front porch and light them up! We didn't get too crazy this year with our designs, but I think Evie loved getting to help in the process!

On Halloween day, we started off with some orange oatmeal (naturally) and a party at the Chaska Community Center, followed by a visit to Uncle Scottie's office to show off our costumes. After dinner, it was "frick or freat" time, as Evie says it. She and Chad joined the Bulls for a trip around our neighborhood, while Titus and I stayed behind and ate, I mean passed out candy to our neighborhood friends. Titus' favorite choice: almond joys. Evie's fave: Reese's Peanut Butter Cups!

The following night, we were invited to the Hilton Halloween party downtown. Although we had our pirate and lion along, the costumes were quickly ditched in order to bounce in the bouncy house and run like crazy through the Hilton! Evie loved getting to meet Belle and eating chocolate hummus (as did her mother).

The best/saddest part of the past week was saying good-bye to our beloved neighbors and friends, The Thousands. We had a Halloween Party/Going Away Party at our house with pumpkin decorating and carmel apple stations. It was a fun way to say goodbye to some of our closest friends as they moved to Wisconsin on Tuesday.

And in other, non-Halloween related news, Titus is showing more signs of movement every day. He can take about 5-6 strides on a crawl and will cruise all around the living room walking while holding onto anything he can find. Whereas Evie seemed to have more of the ability and less of the desire to walk, Titus seems the opposite! He is all gung-ho to try it, he just hasn't quite put all of the moving pieces together yet! Go, Titus, Go!
