We went to a Halloween party at Jo and Dave's house tonight and had a blast. Here the boys are all ears as Jo explains the rules for the first activity. 

and demonstrates...

Mia gives it a go...

Cutie pie Mia...

Kai dug right in...

Messy!!

Jak was victorious in finding the bugs...

Craig and I were also successful, and messy...

Oooh! Worms!!!

And they're off!! Here are Megatron Jak, Po Kelan and C-battery Cooper. 

There should be a universal phenomenon that restricts 80 degree temperatures on Halloween. Those costumes are sweaty! Happy Halloween to all!! Hope you had a great day!

Daddy's home for the weekend!!!

Megatron.

You know when you get distracted doing something and then realize the kids are being eerily quiet and you get that feeling like "oh man, what are they up to?" and you expect to walk in and find poop on the wall or ice cream in the closet or something?  I was quite pleased to find this as the cause of the calm...

Fort Fisher Aquarium Trick or Treat Under the Sea

 Kai is "sleepy" for Halloween this year.

 

Jak was mesmerized by the sea horses and hermit crabs...

True to character, Kai took a snooze by the man-eating alligator.

The divers in the tanks with the fish were dressed up super spooky!!

Kelan loved the mermaid.

They had the whole place decked out...it was so creepy!!

Our poor little Po was not sure what to make of all the spookiness... 

Poplar Grove Plantation Halloween Festival

Every Tuesday Chick-Fil-A has a themed family night. Last week it was the Fall Festival, so we met up with some friends and had a good

 ol' time. 

Freeze Tag!

Jak rocked at hopscotch. 

The boys got pumpkin tattoos.

In this moment, Caleb is WAY happier than Jak and Kelan...

Pumpkin art...

...pumpkin art...

...and more pumpkin art...

Nothing says fall like a hay maze with a giant upright cow. 

Oh, Monkey Joe's...where have you been all our lives??

We love your bouncy toddler area...

With the giant snail...

And mystical sea creature...

What goes up....

Must come down.

Taking a break to discuss how much fun Monkey Joe's actually is. Jak told everyone there that it was the most awesome place EVER!!!!

Holy Humongous Batman, Jak! Could it get much cooler?

Monkey Joe's makes Kelan blurry. 

And then, after a while, it makes him slightly dazed....and then we have....

Simultaneous naptime!!!! Aaahhhh....

Thank you, Monkey Joe's. We love you.
